2 KEY ACTIVITIES OF THE CITY GOVERNMENT 2.1. General Information The City government’s main task is to ensure welfare of the public, and sustainable and balanced development of the City. In order to contribute to the growth of economy, increase competitiveness and quality of life, and meet interests of all sectors of the territorial community the City government has developed Strategy to Increase Competitiveness and Develop Economy of Ivano-Frankivsk for the period of 2011-2015. Under this Strategy, the City government’s efforts focus on economic development as strategic partnership, which contributes to increasing efficiency of the local economy by attracting investments to existing and new high-potential companies, and creating conditions for long-term growth. The economic development focuses on creating maximum benefits and jobs through the implementation of competitive advantages to ensure dynamic and more stable development as compared with other regions. There have been determined three key drivers of the local economy growth (attracting investments into the real sector; development of small and medium businesses; creating comfortable environment for living), and three priority areas (core sectors of the processing industry; education, scientific research and innovative businesses; and tourism). The investment potential of any municipality is determined by multiple factors, such as state of technical infrastructure, availability of buildings and suitable sites for construction, availability of skilled workforce, business climate in the City and the City’s image, scope and number of services provided by the City. Given the Ivano-Frankivsk’s well developed industrial sector, the City has a certain potential to prepare attractive proposals for investors. The City is developing its traditional sectors of food-processing, engineering, and woodworking, which have already attracted significant foreign investments. A significant investment role is played by the City’s Khryplyn Investment and Industrial Area, which has attracted large foreign investors. The priority in the Ivano-Frankivsk economy is small business sector, which is a substantial source of proceeds to the City budget, new jobs, and investments in the City’s economy. Recent years saw rapid growth of small and medium businesses in the City, expansion of their activities, increased number and improved quality of their services. The state of the community infrastructure and continuous provision of utility services have a direct impact on the quality of life, which is a substantial factor not only for the City’s population and their welfare, but also for development of existing and future businesses. The structural units of the City Council’s executive committee ensure effectiveness of the communal services and implementation of the newest energy-saving technologies. During the recent years, the City government has focused on the quality of services, transparency and establishment of more responsible relations between the City’s government and the public. Ivano-Frankivsk was the first in Ukraine to open Administrative Service Centre for the City’s citizens in October 2010. The Centre includes 10 communal services, Licensing Centre

IVANO-FRANKIVSK CITY. Investment Manifest

and Registration Chamber, which provides administrative services in accordance with the Register of Administrative Services. This increased substantially the quality of services provided to the public. To provide effective services to taxpayers, the Taxpayer Service Centre at the Ivano-Frankivsk State Tax Inspectorate was established in June 2011. The Centre provides a range of services, such as issuing permission documents and provision of tax advice; there has also been improved the process of tax report acceptance. The public has a free access to all premises of the City Council, they may attend sessions of the City Council, meetings of the Executive Committee and deputy commissions.

As at 01.01.2015 the population of Ivano-Frankivsk was 247.8 thousand people.

At the same time, if compared with other Ukrainian cities, the population density of Ivano-Frankivsk is low, which is explained by presence of five villages in the City Council area.

However, the unemployment rate in the City was recorded at 1.98%, which is far lower than the official unemployment rate in Ukraine. As earlier, the rate of employment of Ivano-Frankivsk population remains high.

FIGURE 6. DYNAMICS OF FOREIGN TRADE TURNOVER IN THE CITY. THE EXPORT STRUCTURE

IVANO-FRANKIVSK CITY. Investment Manifest

Over the recent years, the structure of exports has remained virtually unchanged. In terms of goods, it is dominated by mechanical and electrical machinery (38.5%), products of animal origin (28.2%), products of chemical and related industry (15.0%). Imports are mainly represented with machinery, equipment and mechanisms, electrical equipment (41.8% of total imports), plastics and polymers (15.3%) and iron and steel products (18.8%). The biggest industrial exporters are Imperovo Foods LLC, Karpaty Production Association SE, Electrolux Ukraine LLC, Tyco Electronics Ukraine Limited LLC, Ivano-Frankivsk Manufacturing and Commercial Clothing Enterprise “Galychyna” PJSC, etc. An important factor of the City’s economy stability was focusing of the City’s companies on European markets. Specifically, in 2014 the exports to the EU countries was recorded at 46.9% of total exports. The biggest volumes of exports trade were with Jordan (18.3%), Romania (14.6%), Czech Republic (12.6%), Taiwan (7.5%), Italy (5%), Turkey (4.2%), and Poland (4.2%). Import of goods to Ivano-Frankivsk from the EU countries was recorded at 55.8% of the total volume. Countries with the biggest volumes of import were also represented by the U.S. (24.5%), Germany (13.1%), Poland and Italy (6.5% each), Hungary (6.1%), the Netherlands (5.6%), Saudi Arabia (5.1%), and Romania (4.3%). For many years, one of the biggest foreign trade partners of the City was the Russian Federation. However, the imposition of trade restrictions in 2014 negatively affected exports to Russia (2014: USD 16.6 million, or 8.3% of all exports, which was more than 2x less than in 2013). The volume of imports from Russia to the City was insignificant (under 3% of total volume).

IVANO-FRANKIVSK CITY. Investment Manifest

3.4. Retail and Catering Before 2013, there was a steady trend of growing retail trade turnover in the City, which is a key indicator of purchasing capacity of Ivano-Frankivsk residents, thus allowing to estimate their real incomes. In 2014, the retail turnover (including trade turnover of retail companies, estimated volume of sales at markets and by individual entrepreneurs) was recorded at UAH 9.6 billion, 2.9% less than in 2013. However, this indicator per capita remains 1.8 times higher than the Ukraineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s average. The reduction in trade turnover was prompted by economic and financial crisis of 2014 (i.e. decelerated growth of average salary and decreased number of jobs).

BUDGET PROFILE

The principles of the budget system of Ukraine, its structure, legal principles of its functioning, the foundations of the budgetary process and intergovernmental relations, and responsibility for violations of budget legislation are prescribed by the Budget Code of Ukraine. According to the Budget Code, the state is responsible for all national expenses, i.e. expenses for public administration, legislative, judicial and executive branches, international relations, fundamental and applied research, national defence, law enforcement, and other programmes of exclusive national importance. The City Council manages a substantial portion of social expenses. Segregation of expenses between budgets takes into account criteria of fullness of a service provided and its targeting. Under the effective legislation, in order to execute delegated authority the local councils are assigned a number of national taxes and duties, including individual income tax, land charge, license and certificate fee, income tax of municipally owned corporations, local taxes and duties, etc. Under the Budget Code, the receipts from specific national taxes received in a jurisdiction of a local council are distributed between the central budget, regional budget and local budget, or remain in local budget in full. In addition, there are inter-budget transfers, i.e. funds, which are transferred between budgets on free and irrevocable basis. The budget process in the City is regulated by Article 12 of the Budget Code. The Finance Function of the City Council performs organizational and management duties in respect of the budget implementation, and coordinates stakeholders of the budget process. Treasury services are provided by the unit of the State Treasury of Ukraine. Taxes, duties (mandatory payments) and other budget revenues are transferred directly to the budget account at the State Treasury, they may not be accumulated on accounts of collection authorities. The collection authorities ensure timely and full transfer of taxes and duties (mandatory payments), and other revenues to local budgets in accordance with the law. The budget is performed in accordance with targets approved by the head of the Finance Function (until the targets are approved, a temporary target list for the respective period is approved). During the budget period, the head of the Finance Function ensures compliance of the budget target list with established budget appropriations.

5.1. Introduction to Ivano-Frankivsk Budget Ivano-Frankivsk budget is a budget of local self-government. The structure of the consolidated budget includes the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget and budgets of five towns. The budget process in the City is arranged in accordance with the Constitution of Ukraine, the Budget Code of Ukraine, the Law of Ukraine on the State Budget for a respective year, and other regulations. The City budget is approved within the term specified in Article 77 of the Budget Code of Ukraine (no later than two weeks after the Law on the State Budget is published).

IVANO-FRANKIVSK CITY. Investment Manifest

The City budget is formed based on the Budget Code of Ukraine, inter-budget transfers approved for the City in the Law of Ukraine on the State Budget for a respective year and resolution of the Oblast Council on oblast budget for a respective year, budget requests of key spending units, budget incomes given the achievement of the City’s social and economic targets for the previous year, and estimated economic indicators for the current year. Ivano-Frankivsk budget revenues are formed with tax receipts, non-tax receipts, capital transaction gains, special purpose funds and transfers. Tax receipts and official transfers are the core of the City budget revenues. The amount of tax receipts to the City budget was determined by pace of receipts from personal income tax and land fee (62.6% and 10.7% of the budget revenues excluding transfers in 2014). It should be noted that increase in tax receipts was driven by growing receipts from the single tax (11.2% of the budget revenues excluding transfers in 2014), underpinned by robust development of small businesses in the City.

In order to balance revenue and expense sides of the budget, and fund target expenses, the City receives official transfers from the central budget (47.5% of City budget revenues excluding transfers in 2014), intended mainly for social payments and assistance to vulnerable groups. A part of official transfers to the City budget is represented with equalization grant from the central budget, as the Ministry of Finance estimates that the budget revenues are insufficient to finance respective expenses. It should be noted that the dependency of Ivano-Frankivsk budget on equalization grants in the period under review increased, with its share in 2014 standing at 21.1% of total revenues excluding transfers. Due to uneven inflow of receipts to the City budget and financing protected and priority expenses being accompanied by temporary cash gaps, the Ivano-Frankivsk City Council raises loans from the State Treasury Service of Ukraine every year. The City budget funds are expensed as long as revenues and loans from general treasury account are received. The City budget expenses have social nature. A significant amount of funds are allocated to priority expenses, primarily protected items (89.5-92.3% of general fund revenues during 2012-2014), specifically salaries for personnel of public institutions, payroll tax, procurement of energy, food and medicines, transfers to the public and to local budgets. If the budget expenses exceed its revenues (given the difference between repayment of loans to the budget and provision of loans from the budget) the City budget is formed with surplus, and with deficit otherwise. The deficit is financed with balances, or internal or external borrowings. During the recent years, the budget has not had a steady trend of deficit or surplus. For instance, the City budget was executed with surplus in 2012, whereas in 2013 it had a deficit of UAH23.6 million, which decreased to UAH 3.9 million in 2014. The draft City budget for 2015 has been created when tax and budget laws are being revised. Its key figures have been determined based on the Budget Code of Ukraine (as amended by the Law of Ukraine No 79-VIII dated 28.12.2014 and titled On Amendments to the Budget Code of Ukraine Relating to Reforming of Inter-Budget Relations), the Tax Code of Ukraine (as amended by the Law of Ukraine No 71-VІІІ dated 28.12.2014 and titled On Amendments to the Tax Code of Ukraine and Certain Legislative Acts Relating to Tax Reform), the Law of Ukraine On the State Budget of Ukraine 2015, and other legislative acts. In addition, the City budget parameters have been determined in accordance with adjusted economic and social indicators for 2015 using statistical, tax and financial reports, and calculations of respective City Council units. The current budget period will be rather challenging given the need of businesses to adapt to new economic and legal circumstances, and persisting risks in the national economy. The City budget revenues for 2015 excluding transfers have been set at UAH 391.9 million (74.9% of actual revenues in 2014), with those of the budget’s general fund set at UAH349.9 million (86.4% of revenues in 2014), and those of the budget’s special-purpose fund set at UAH 42.0 million (35.4%). The planned amount of City budget expenses for 2015 has been set at UAH 1,001.5 million (100% of actual amount in 2014). Decrease in planned expenses is witnessed in the special-purpose fund (by 34.2%), whereas the growth of the general fund expenses in 2015 has been 9%.

FIGURE 7. LOCATION OF KIIA

KIIA is located in south-eastern part of the City on an area of 612 ha. The area, which includes industrial facilities and utility and transport infrastructure is 300 ha. There are extension railways, motor roads and utilities, such as gas, water supply, sewage, electric energy, and communication. In March 2007, there was established a KIIA Development Council, which was a permanent City Mayor board with participation of municipal officials, businessmen and representatives of the civil society. The Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s key objective is to determine the area development directions, and address issues associated with economic activity in the area. There has been composed an inventory of a portion of KIIA land (276) free of structures and buildings, with a list of land plots and their owners drawn up. However, there are certain issues with establishing investment site, as the land plots should be bought out from their owners. There are also some limitations due to the fact that there are irrigation system on a portion of KIIA land. The disposal procedure is lengthy and requires certain expenses. On the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s web-site (http://www.mvk.if.ua/chrpv/, http://www.mvk.if.ua/vilplo/) you may find KIIA presentation and information on available land and land allocation, investment sites, available premises at enterprises of Ivano-Frankivsk.

These lists are part of the Municipal Property Privatization Programme. The municipal property may be privatized through direct acquisition, auction, or competitive bidding. The buyers of municipal property may not be legal entities with government interest of more than 25%, public authorities, employees of privatization agency, and other entities, which under the effective legislation cannot engage in entrepreneurial activities. The Municipal Property Fund of the Ivano-Frankivsk territorial community arranges independent valuation of privatization targets with respective valuators determined on a competitive basis. The valuation of a privatization target is performed in accordance with the Law of Ukraine On Valuation of Property and Ownership Rights, and Professional Valuation Activities in Ukraine. The valuator opinion in form of City Council’s resolution as submitted by the Municipal Property Fund of the Ivano-Frankivsk territorial community (with consideration of proposals and observations of the City Council’s temporary commission on lease and privatization of municipal property, competitive bidding and distribution of housing stock) is submitted for approval at the City Council’s session. The Municipal Property Fund takes a range of measures to ensure transparency of privatization process, such as publication of announcements of competitive biddings (auctions) and details of privatization in mass media (periodicals, radio and television) in compliance with the Programme and information law requirements. The owners of privatized assets have a priority right for long-term lease (of no less than 10 years) of land plots occupied by them with subsequent purchase of these land plots according to the laws of Ukraine, if it is not directly prohibited by the City Council.

7.2.2. Lease of Municipal Property At local level, the issues of municipal property lease, methodology for computing rental charges and for using respective proceeds, procedures of carrying out tenders for lease of municipal property is regulated by the City Council’s Resolution 201 of 17.04.2007 titled On Amendments to Regulations Concerning Lease of Property Owned by Ivano-Frankivsk Territorial Community. The integral property complexes of municipally owned enterprises and their divisions (branches, workshops, units) are leased under the procedure specified by the Law of Ukraine On Lease of Public and Municipal Property. Legal entities and individuals seeking to lease a specific asset should submit an application for approval to the Municipal Property Fund. The applicant should also enclose properly certified copies of required documents. The application is provisionally considered by the Municipal Property Fund. If the application meets regulatory requirements, the Municipal Property Fund refers the application for consideration by the Executive Committee’s commission on lease of non-residential premises and privatization of municipal property (“the Commission”).

Executive Committee to approve a resolution on transfer of a municipal asset into applicant’s leasehold. Basing on the Commission’s recommendations set forth in the minutes of the Commission’s meeting the Municipal Property Fund drafts an Executive Committee’s resolution to be approved at the next meeting of the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee of the City Council approves transfer of a specific asset into leasehold of a specific legal entity or individual. Only draft resolutions, which concern lease of municipal property not affected by the above Regulation, and draft resolutions on lease of municipal property or extension of lease agreements for over three years, and draft resolutions on preferential rental fee charging or writing off rental fee receivables are submitted for consideration by the City Council. A resolution of the City Council or the Executive Committee of the City Council on transfer of a specific asset into leasehold of a specific legal entity or individual is a basis for conclusion of an agreement on lease of that asset with that legal entity or individual. The initiator of lease may be a municipal enterprise, establishment or organization, under which operating management or at which commercial disposal the respective asset is, and which was not used when the respective proposal was submitted. The proposal of lease is executed as a letter addressed to the City Mayor.

REHABILITATION OF THE POTOTSKY PALACE, A 18-19TH CENTURY MONUMENT OF ARCHITECTURE Today, an important issue in the area of the City’s cultural heritage protection is preservation of the Pototsky Palace, which is an important historical building and a 18-19th century monument of architecture. Bringing new life to the building may be achieved through its adjustment to needs and demands of the public. The work on a project to adjust the palace to current City’s needs is underway, aiming at creation on its basis an exhibition and museum complex, which will feature exhibition areas, information and media section, a library, a film, photo and video library, a research area, etc. After completion of the project the Complex will be in line with the City’s cultural strategy, and will represent a tourist attraction and a cultural centre. The palace is favourably located in the City, bordering on recreational, public and administrative, commercial and residential areas. The complex offers a convenient transport connection, as there are several public transport stops within a walking distance. There is also a good pedestrian connectivity with the city centre and the marketplace. Delimitation of the complex with remnants of a rampart and a three-meter wall creates a cozy atmosphere in the palace’s ward, which is a favourable feature for creation of a public and cultural centre. There are seven major buildings on the complex’s territory, which had various roles in the system of a military hospital (they were built in the 19th century). Currently, the former Pototsky Palace is in bad condition: the buildings are in dire condition, with some being in emergency state. The structures require examination to determine sequence of their dismantling or reinforcement. It is expedient to dismantle one-storey structures. It is urgent to carry out adaptation, rehabilitation, reconstruction and conversion of both the individual structures and the complex in general. The top priority rehabilitation target is the left avant-corps at the entrance gate, as it is in best condition and faces the City directly. At the first stage, this zone should be separated from other areas. One of the avant-corpses may be already used as an exhibition facility (e.g. as a commercial gallery). Examinations and measurements of other structures, and dismantling of temporary and low-value structures may be carried out concurrently. Simultaneously, there may be performed design work for the hotel, a recreational and service building, and connection with utilities. Obviously, the examination will reveal architectural and archeological findings, which will be included into the complex’s context after respective preservation.

THE SECOND STAGE

will feature repair and reconstruction of a two-storey (so-called ‘Surgical’) building, and a three-storey building. These buildings will host expositions of the Museum of Private Collections (individual exhibitions), and the work to create the museum of the city’s architecture, and the centre of actual art may be partially commenced. The first avant-corps may host an information and media centre, where the pool of art projects will be created.

THE THIRD STAGE will feature reconstruction of the main palace building and construction of the hotel and recreational building (with restaurant and cinema hall).

THE LAST STAGE will include opening of the northern wall with entrance area, and relocation

of sections of the Museum of Arts and the Museum of the City Architecture to the main palace building of the Pototsky Museum. In addition, the arrangement of the park will be completed and the Centre’s activities will be launched.

IVANO-FRANKIVSK CITY. Investment Manifest

Upon completion of the project, the Complex will include the following: the Pototsky Period Museum, the museum of the city architecture with the city’s model; the museum of private collections; the centre of children’s art studios; the centre of contemporary or actual art; a private commercial gallery; and a photostudio. Each of these will have their own infrastructure; however, the exhibition areas may be used commercially, except for permanent expositions of the architecture museum, the Pototsky Period Museum, the commercial gallery, certain sections of regional arts museum and the museum of contemporary art. Integrated, yet independent, will be the projects related to the Complex’s commercial infrastructure: the hotel, the restaurant, the café, the bookshop and the souvenir gift shop, and studio premises.
