Most of the corporation ratifies the resolution of the contract adopted last September
The plenary session of Benidorm City Hall has rejected by majority the appeal lodged by the concessionaire of the pool and gym at the Palau d'Esports, Levantina de Servicios Acuáticos Ltd., against the contract agreement approved last September 7. A resolution supported by the Consell Jurídic Consultiu (CJC) and is based on repeated breaches of the company, collected in numerous municipal technical reports. Among these failures they are: lack of payment of the fee for the years 2014 and 2015; lack of maintenance of facilities; not having executed a series of works during the first six months of contract and not pay wages to workers. The councillor of Contracting, Lourdes Caselles, explained that in its internal appeal the company has reiterated "the same arguments as it has done since the file resolution and eviction began" and that in that day, were rejected by the municipal officers . In addition to ratifying the agreement to terminate the contract, the corporation has also agreed a new period of eight days to the company "to leave the premises" of Palau, with the warning that failure to do so it will be proceeded to the administrative eviction, as recorded the proposal. If this eviction occur, Levantina must pay the corresponding costs. In response to questions raised by some groups of the corporation regarding the continuity of the service once the concessionaire leaves the Palau, Caselles indicated that the gym and pool will be closed "between one and three days" for municipal technicians to perform "a more comprehensive study of the state of the facilities". Subsequently, the City Council will take over the management, outsourcing those services or tasks that can not be provided by municipal staff. Caselles indicated that if the dealer raises an administrative dispute for the termination of the contract "the judge will determine" because "we will not negotiate with a non-compliant".
