Unfortunately,
the economic crisis has affected our city. The number of
unemployed has increased, the number of workplaces has been
reduced, and therefore production has been curtailed. The
basic problems of city are: flood by groundwater, contents of

replenishment of budget organizations. These and number of
other problem questions constantly are in a field of sight of
