The relevant draft decision has been published on the Mykolaiv City Council website.
This concerns the provision of space for the temporary storage of equipment, property and other valuables belonging to legal entities or individuals.
According to the draft resolution, the following tariffs are proposed:
- «Atlant» Municipal Children’s and Youth Sports School — 49.69 hryvnias per square metre per month
- «Olymp» Municipal Children’s and Youth Sports School — 32.63 hryvnia per square metre per month
The calculation of service costs is based on the institutions’ expenses, including staff wages, payroll deductions, utility costs (electricity, water supply, waste collection), running and material costs, as well as occupational health and safety costs.
Calculation of the fee for paid services at the ‘Atlant’ sports school
Calculation of the fee for paid services at the ‘Olymp’ sports schoolThe total annual costs taken into account when setting the fees amount to over 2 million hryvnias for each facility, with the areas used for storing equipment included: 3,500 square metres at «Atlant» and 5,150 square metres at «Olymp».
The draft decision will be considered at the next meeting of the executive committee.
It should be recalled that in February, Mykolaiv returned to considering the issue of dividing the territories of the «Atlant» and «Olymp» sports schools, where part of the land is intended to be allocated for a private yacht mooring area.
As is known, the city owns two complexes of mooring facilities belonging to the former yacht clubs of the 61st Commune Plant and the Ocean Plant, which are suitable for the operation of a small-scale fleet.
On 17 March, a joint meeting was held of three standing committees of the city council: on housing and communal services, human rights and the rule of law, and on health, education, culture and sport. In addition, representatives of the sports department, the legal department and the directors of the sports schools took part in the meeting.
Inspections and division of the territories of the «Atlant» and «Olymp» school
It should be recalled that Mykolaiv has revisited the issue of dividing the territories of the «Atlant» and «Olymp» sports schools, part of whose land is planned to be allocated for a private yacht mooring. In 2022, the law on inland waterway transport came into force, which clearly distinguished between the concepts of mooring bases and mooring bases for small vessels.
In 2024, the city was advised to bring both complexes into line with the legislation, and a working group was set up involving the authorities, athletes and school management. The first group analysed the work of the «Atlant» school, which uses the site of the former yacht club of the 61st Commune Factory. The second is reviewing the activities of the «Olymp» school in the Korabelnyi district — this work is still ongoing.
During the inspections, issues were identified regarding hydraulic structures, the management of municipal property, the transparency of tariffs, and the collection of fees for mooring vessels. At the time, Artem Vashchylenko, chair of the Expert and Public Council, noted that the children’s schools had no right whatsoever to engage in vessel mooring, and that funds were being collected in a non-transparent manner.
The mayor and councillors emphasised that the schools’ primary task is to train children. Commercial activities must be separated and comply with the law. The committee agreed to revisit the issue with an expanded membership, involving other committees, school management, the relevant department, and the deputy mayor.
If the session’s decision is adopted, the territories of the «Atlant» and «Olymp» schools will be demarcated: the schools will focus on coaching activities, whilst the municipal enterprise «Timeset» will be responsible for maintaining the moorings and collecting fees for the berthing and storage of vessels.
It later emerged that some of the mooring facilities for small and recreational vessels in Mykolaiv may not open this season, meaning the vessels may not be able to take to the water.
During a staff meeting chaired by the mayor on 2 March, Valerii Vetrov, a representative of the Expert and Public Council of the City Executive Committee, stated that there were about two months left until the start of the season, after which state inspectors would inspect the sports schools’ bases. If the documents or operating conditions do not meet legal requirements, they may not be allowed to open.
