On 25 June, a session of the regional council of Lori outlined the construction work being undertaken in the marz.  220 houses are nearing completion in the city of Spitak, as are 4 apartment buildings in Stepanavan.  The Ministry of Urban Development is set to organize a lottery in these two cities soon, after which the formalities of organizing the donation and drawing up the contracts will be conducted. Of the villages, the ones involved in the 2010 housing construction projects are Shirakamut, Geghasar, Metz Parni, Lusaghbyur, Sarahart, Gogaran and Arevashogh, with 152 families having incomplete houses.  This also includes 44 cases delayed from 2009, involving other communities in the Spitak region such as Jrashen, Lernakan, Katnajur, Tzaghkaber, Saramej and Lernanatsk. The most complicated step in the process of providing housing to families in the earthquake zone involves documentation.  The families have to present the necessary paperwork to the commission set up by the Ministry of Urban Development to support families in the earthquake zone, headed by the Minister himself. Due to inconsistencies in the work of community heads this step becomes more complicated than necessary and slows down the whole process.  In particular, there are mistakes in the way that entries in the community register are made.  For example, village resident Albert Poghosyan is registered with the surname noted in his passport but with the nickname which is familiar to his fellow villagers.  Add to this the archived documents from the late 80s and the 90s, and it becomes difficult to prove that Kyajo (“Blondie”) Poghosyan and Albert Poghosyan are one and the same person. Another issue in the village communities is that a change in status is ignored.  So if a young girl marries, she is seen by the registration system as someone who is absent from the house of registration.  The committee is later forced to locate them in other cities and find out about them, their husband, children and so on.  In the community register from 2006 to 2010, the names of girls who have married into families are missing in the entries for those families.  This is important to rectify because the addition of one more person to a family changes the size of the apartment to which that family is entitled. The solution to this and other similar problems has been proposed as follows.  If the mistake has been made by an authoritative body, then it is the responsibility of that body to rectify it and give the person or family in question housing which corresponds to the real data.  In cases where members of a family are out of the country, an announcement should be made with these names and if they miss the deadline for participation in the housing program, they will then be the responsibility of the family and not the authorities. The 25 June session also covered issues related to collection of revenue for the month of June, which is not going according to plan.  As of 24 June, the amount of personal revenue collected was only 70% of the figure for the same period of the previous year, asset tax collection was at 68% and land tax was at 62%.  The figures for these taxes against the target for the whole of 2010 were 48%, 33% and 46% respectively.
