Omnilex-Zusammenfassung

The publication concerns the scope of the government council’s supervisory authority over municipalities under Art. 89 KV. The government council held that it may, under this supervisory power, declare arbitrary municipal council resolutions ineffective even in later proceedings. It further stated that such a measure does not require a prior complaint or report, since the authority may act ex officio.

Omnilex-Regeste

Art. 89 KV; supervisory power over municipalities; later declaration of invalidity of arbitrary municipal council resolutions. The supervisory authority includes the power to declare municipal resolutions ineffective even after the fact. This competence is not dependent on a complaint or denunciation; the authority may also act ex officio. The scope of supervision would otherwise be unduly restricted, as the supervisory purpose is to ensure effective control of municipal acts against arbitrariness.

Gesamter Gesetzestext

Entscheidpublikation VVGE 1971/75 Nr. 33, S. 31:

Art. 89 KV.

Aufsichtsrecht des Regierungsrates über die Gemeinden.

Entscheid des Regierungsrates vom 29. Oktober 1974 (Nr. 691).

Dieses Recht gibt ihm die Möglichkeit und muss sie ihm geben, willkürliche Gemeinderatsbeschlüsse auch in einem späteren Verfahren als unwirksam zu erklären. Um diese Massnahme zu ergreifen bedarf es übrigens keineswegs unbedingt einer Anzeige oder Beschwerde; der Regierungsrat könnte sie, wiederum kraft seines Aufsichtsrechts, von Amtes wegen ergreifen (vgl. hiezu BGE 99 I 136; Grisel, André: droit administratif Suisse, Neuenburg 1970, S. 140/141).

Kernrechtsfrage

Whether the government council may declare arbitrary municipal council resolutions ineffective in later proceedings under its supervisory power, even without a complaint or report.

Extrahierter Entscheid

Yes. The supervisory power allows the government council to declare arbitrary municipal council resolutions ineffective even at a later stage, and it may act ex officio without a prior complaint or denunciation.

Extrahierte Begründung

The supervisory power is designed to enable the government council to control municipal acts for legality and arbitrariness. That power would be incomplete if it could not also be exercised later and on the authority's own motion.
