The plenary will vote to create a parity commission to retake the resolution by mutual agreement of the contract of the bus station

The mayor of Benidorm, Toni Pérez, will raise to the next plenary session a proposal to set up a Joint Commission that will be in charge of resuming "the negotiation of resolution by mutual agreement of the concession contract of the bus station". The proposal, which will be issued next Wednesday in the Inland System Information Commission, has "the conformity" of the areas of Secretariat and Intervention, as they have transferred the own municipal officials with national qualification to the members of the corporation in a Board of Spokesmen summoned by the mayor this morning.

According to the proposal, the Joint Commission will be formed by the mayor himself and by "the legal representative of the commercial bus station of Benidorm SL". The parties will set the day of the week in which the meetings will be held and "the advisors who must attend" them "after carrying out the technical support and advisory work that is declared necessary".

As the proposal recalls, in 2014 a mixed commission was created to proceed with the resolution of the contract by mutual agreement and thus comply with the judgment issued by the Superior Court of Justice of the Valencian Community in 2007 - and ratified by the Supreme Court in 2012-, which obliged the City Council to tender again the exploitation of the bus station.

In 2017, and "after various vicissitudes of the processing of the termination of the contract," the concessionaire submitted a brief to abandon said mixed commission. In 2018, after the external audit commissioned by the City Council, it was clear "the termination of the agreement and the joint commission" created four years earlier, and also the need to "initiate a new agreement with a new Commission".

The proposal that will be voted in the plenary session includes "taking note of the letter from the merchant bus station of Benidorm", in which it designates who will be its legal representative in this new Joint Commission.
