Sources: 3. Developments: 2. The Lempäälä municipal board has initiated several administrative and fiscal measures to manage the municipality’s economy and land use. In early October 2026, the board decided to begin cooperation negotiations involving the entire municipal staff to prepare a sustainable economy program for 2027–2029. This program seeks long-term fiscal balance, targeting a reduction in personnel costs of approximately 1.625 million euros by 2029. To achieve these savings, the municipality plans to utilize retirements, reduce fixed-term employment, and merge tasks, noting that layoffs would be a last resort. By mid-October 2026, the board expanded its focus to include land management and budget updates. Decisions included approving land sales and leases in the Peräsalo area, updating the land use program, and reviewing the interim budget for August 2026. Additionally, the board moved to set income and property tax rates for 2027 and proposed new residential zone pricing. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-19: Lempäälä municipal board approves land sales and budget updates The Lempäälä municipal board approved various administrative, budgetary, and zoning decisions, including land sales to Gasgrid Finland Oy and new residential plot pricing proposals. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/lempl-municipal-board-approves-land-sales-and-budget-updates ### 2026-10-06: Lempäälä municipality to begin cooperation negotiations for fiscal program Lempäälä municipality will begin cooperation negotiations on October 12, 2026, to implement a sustainable economy program aiming for 1.625 million euros in personnel cost savings by 2029. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/lempl-municipality-to-begin-cooperation-negotiations-for-fiscal-program --- Cite as: Lempäälä municipal fiscal and administrative management.
