What is the relationship between the government and the community?

First, the relationship between the government (district government, street and other government functional departments) and community neighborhood committees and the existing problems.

Under the highly centralized planned economy system, we have established an urban administrative management system composed of cities, district governments, streets and neighborhood committees. Under this system, street-level institutions become first-level governments; Neighborhood committees have changed from autonomous organizations to extensions of government administrative agencies, and their main functions have changed from coordinating community interests and resolving contradictions to implementing government administrative orders. This will inevitably lead to the following problems that cannot be ignored at present:

1, the function is misplaced, and everything is done. With the shift of the focus of political management, many political departments put forward the requirements of entering the community for their professional work, such as culture entering the community and health entering the community. Most departments did not send services to the departments, but simply let the tasks enter the community, but did not give the corresponding authority and funds to the community, and regarded the community neighborhood committees as subordinate units of the departments, resulting in a situation of "a thousand lines above and a needle below". No wonder some cadres of community neighborhood committees say that "community construction is a basket, and whatever is needed on it is put", which makes the work that community neighborhood committees should do impossible, and other work is even more difficult to deal with.

2, small power and great responsibility, weak management. Although the work of community neighborhood committees is all-encompassing, in fact, the districts and streets have not given him corresponding powers, such as family planning, comprehensive management, city appearance and sanitation and other routine work. Because community neighborhood committees have no law enforcement power, they can't manage or affect their work. Functional departments can manage them, but they can't see them at ordinary times. At the same time, because the relationship with the property company is not straightened out, the property company does not cooperate with the work of the neighborhood Committee, and sometimes even hinders the community work, so that the community neighborhood Committee can not effectively supervise and standardize their work, and the legitimate rights and interests of residents can not be guaranteed. Unclear rights and responsibilities and bad relationship are the key factors restricting community construction.

3. Less expenses and more work constraints. Community neighborhood committees have undertaken the heavy tasks of their superiors, but they have not received the corresponding expenses. Such as family planning, legal publicity, comprehensive management, environmental sanitation cleaning work to have a certain cost; At the same time, community neighborhood committees also need some expenses, such as telephone, water and electricity. Although there are allocated office funds, they are very few, which greatly restricts the work progress of community neighborhood committees.

4. Low pay affects development. Although the higher authorities have issued a document to improve the wages and benefits of community workers, it has not yet been implemented. At the same time, the family planning coordinator's low salary and failure to pay the "three capitals" will not only dampen their enthusiasm for work, but also affect the progress of community work.

Second, in order to properly handle the relationship between the government and community neighborhood committees and truly implement the principle of "power comes with responsibility, and expenses come with things", it is necessary to change government functions and establish a new urban grass-roots management system.

We should adhere to the principle of doing something and not doing something, and emphasize that we should manage it well and put it in place, and those who manage it should dare to let go. Specific practices are as follows:

1, close to the community and serve the residents; Straighten out the relationship and clarify the functions. "Close to the community and serve the residents" government departments should adapt to the needs of community construction, change their functions and methods, and be close to the community and serve the residents. This refers to the tasks that relevant government functional departments should complete in their functions. The key to "being close to the community and serving the residents" is to completely change the "official standard" thought of "being an official and being a master" of relevant functional departments and firmly establish a sense of service; Straighten out the relationship among streets, functional departments and community neighborhood committees, and make it clear that the relationship between them is "guidance and help, service and supervision" rather than "leadership and being led". In accordance with the principles of separation of government affairs, separation of government and society, and matching of powers and responsibilities, the responsibilities of community neighborhood committees and district functional departments are clearly defined, and some social welfare work that the government can't manage or can't manage well is separated from the administrative functions of district streets, such as the preliminary examination of community household registration, family planning supervision, and mass culture. , and handed over to the community; District functional departments are fully responsible for the work involving administrative law enforcement and administration; For some work that needs community coordination or street and functional departments to provide support services, it is also necessary to make clear provisions. Only in this way can we standardize the administrative functions of government functional departments and alleviate the overwhelming situation of community neighborhood committees.

2. Shift the center of gravity down and strengthen the grassroots; Power is transferred, and power follows responsibility. The functional departments of districts and streets must face the community, change their functions, shift their focus, strengthen the grassroots, transfer their powers and responsibilities, and implement the principle of "whoever does things is responsible". In community neighborhood committees, family planning commissioners should be given certain powers while implementing family planning goals, so as to promote the effective development of family planning work. For example, the relatively floating population should be given certain rights and punished accordingly for those who repeatedly persuade them to apply for a certificate, otherwise it will only be verbally advised and will not play much role. Family planning specialists are responsible for community family planning objectives, community neighborhood committees assist in publicity, education and organization, and exercise democratic supervision over community family planning specialists. Those who are dissatisfied with the community neighborhood committees will lose their re-employment qualification. This kind of doing well not only strengthens the functions of the department, but also realizes the rights and responsibilities; Improve the community sheriff system; The district city appearance supervision department shall set up a city appearance supervision post in each community and implement the city appearance supervision responsibility system; District health departments should increase investment in the construction of community medical and health service stations; District cultural departments should invest a certain amount of money to establish cultural stations, libraries and activity centers for the elderly in the community, and guide and help community neighborhood committees to carry out colorful mass activities.

3, to assist in the work, the cost varies with things. The premise is that the district functional departments must do their own work well and change the past practice of pushing the work to the community. If it is determined that the work belonging to the functional departments of the government needs the cooperation of the community, with the consent of the district government and after consultation with the community, the functional departments and the community shall jointly complete it according to the principle of "whoever does the work pays" to ensure that the rights and responsibilities are in place. It is suggested that the District Environmental Sanitation Bureau should transfer the function of garbage cleaning and removal from the street to the community, and the street environmental sanitation department should sign a contract with the community environmental sanitation service station to clarify their respective rights and obligations. The district environmental sanitation bureau collects the service fee of domestic garbage in a unified way, recruits cleaning companies or laid-off workers according to the workload of sanitation production, and is responsible for cleaning the community according to the contract requirements, and implements the publicity system and commitment system. District and street functional departments should reduce the task of tabulation, reduce the workload of community workers, cancel manual filling in forms and use computers to process reports, which can not only improve work efficiency, but also save time.

Three. Other suggestions

1, improve treatment and retain talents. Providing the treatment of community neighborhood Committee cadres is not only important to attract talents, but also the key to retain talents. Only when bread is guaranteed and you don't worry about basic living security can you arouse your enthusiasm and enthusiasm for work. It is suggested that the coordinator of community neighborhood Committee should be included in the team of community workers. Because of their rich work experience, they can give newcomers a list to help them and promote the development of community construction. If their treatment is guaranteed, they will be able to stabilize people's hearts, attract talents and retain talents.

2. Straighten out the relationship and strengthen supervision. Community neighborhood committee is the executive body of community autonomy and is responsible for the daily affairs management of the community. Property management companies are enterprises that provide maintenance, greening, sanitation and security services for residents. It must be clear that the relationship between community neighborhood committees and property companies is supervision and guidance, and support property companies to do a good job in management services. At the same time, establish a reward and punishment system for property companies. For those who actively cooperate with the work of neighborhood committees, and the communities under the jurisdiction of this property company have no family planning policy in the annual assessment and provide effective family planning information, the districts and streets should give certain rewards, otherwise, they will be punished to a certain extent; For property companies whose service quality is not up to standard and seriously hinders community work, community neighborhood committees have the right to complain to the competent government departments on behalf of residents and re-employ the property companies.

In short, the transformation of government functions is an inevitable requirement to adapt to the social development situation and promote the smooth development of community construction. Only by changing government functions, properly handling the relationship between the government and community neighborhood committees, and truly implementing "power comes with responsibility, and expenses come with things", can we speed up the improvement of community construction and realize the ideal community just around the corner.
