Bogor seeks more revenues

BOGOR (JP): In a bid to increase revenue, the Bogor
municipality council approved on Wednesday six city bylaws
regarding levies relating to livestock, unprocessed milk, liquid
waste and transportation tariffs.

Speaking after a plenary session, chief of the special
committee deliberating the city bylaws, Suherman, said following
the endorsement a trader will be charged Rp 1,500 (US 16 cents)
and Rp 150 for each head of cattle and goat apiece brought to the
mayoralty.

Each outgoing head of cattle and goat will contribute Rp 2,500
and Rp 150 respectively to the mayoralty's revenue.

Outgoing unprocessed milk will also be charged Rp 10 per
liter.

Suherman said levies from transportation services were set at
Rp 1,000 for a pick-up van, Rp 1,500 for a small truck, Rp 3,000
for a medium truck, Rp 5,000 for a heavy truck and Rp 7,000 for a
container truck.

As for the management of liquid waste, every three cubic
meters of dumped liquid waste will be charged Rp 425, Suherman
added.

Secretary to the committee, Iwan Suryawan said there is only
one liquid waste management facility, located at Ceger village of
Tegal Gundil, North Bogor.

The six-hectare facility, Mayor Iswara Natanegara said, would
hopefully increase public awareness to establish a favorable
environment, as part of an attempt to promote Bogor as a city
achieving international standards.(21/07)
