The Municipal Committee of the Municipality of Spata–Artemida will meet on Friday 2 October at 9.00 am, in person, at the Municipal Offices on the corner of Dim. Chr. Bekas and Vas. Pavlou streets in Spata. The notice of the 31st ordinary meeting was posted on Monday 28 September and contains 44 items on the agenda. The meeting will be chaired by the mayor, Dimitris Markou.
For Artemida, three issues are of the utmost importance.
The six roads: who submitted a bid?
Under item 25, the Committee is invited to approve the first set of minutes of the open tender procedure ‘Construction and repair of the road network in the Artemida Municipal Unit’. This is the €800,000 project covering Agia Irini Chrysovalantou Street, Independence Street, Road 53, Prasinou Lofou, Andrea Papandreou and Makrygianni, totalling 4,050 metres. The tenders were opened on 23 September.
The first set of minutes is the document that records which companies submitted a tender and at what discount, and which one has been provisionally selected as the contractor. The invitation to tender does not include it as an annex. It will be made public when the decision is published on the Diafania portal. With €100,000 allocated for this year and €700,000 for 2027, the works are mainly scheduled for next year. The question of coordination with EYDAP (the Athens water and sewerage company)’s branch networks remains unresolved.
Water telemetry: a tender, not a direct contract
Under item 23, Study No. 135/2026 of the Technical Department and the tender conditions for the supervision, maintenance and spare parts for the system that remotely reads water meters and manages the water supply network. On 24 September, we reported that the Municipality had earmarked 803,520 euros for three years and that it remained to be seen whether there would be a tender or a negotiated procedure without publication. The answer is a tender. The commitment for 2026, amounting to €66,960, was published on the ‘Diafania’ transparency portal on Monday.
By contrast, under item 24, the maintenance of the ACE ERP eCM software is being put out to tender without publication, due to exclusivity. This is the system used by the municipality’s departments for the management and handling of their documents.
Mazareko and communal areas
Item 27 approves the implementation study for the ‘Completion of the Sports Centre at the Mazareko site’. The budget allocates €900,000 for the project, of which, as of the end of August, nothing had been paid out.
Item 43 concerns the approval of the Operational Plan for the Provision of Public and Community Spaces (E.S.E.K.K.), the plan through which the Municipality prioritises which plots of land – designated in the town plan as squares, parks or schools – it will acquire, and in what order. Under item 44, the Municipality is submitting a proposal to the Green Fund to secure funding for an Urban Resilience Plan.
Land donation to Artemida
Items 18 to 21 concern out-of-court settlements with landowners in Artemida: transfer of appurtenant sections (strips of land that must be joined to a plot to make it a complete parcel) in cadastral blocks 337 of Planning Zone 5 and 567 of Planning Zone 3, and the conversion of land contributions into cash in plots 337 and 518A. This is the procedure every property undergoes when its area is incorporated into the town plan: part of the plot is allocated for roads and squares or, where this is not possible, compensation is paid in cash. Item 22 concerns compensation for a property in plot 233 of the ‘Mycenaean Tombs – Sports Ground’ area in Spata.
Lawyers and the Building Authority
The first 17 items are lawyers’ opinions: concerning lawsuits and applications to the Athens Single-Judge Court of First Instance and a 2023 appeal to the Administrative Court of First Instance, as well as legal opinions. Seven of the legal opinions relate to documents from the Building Authority dated 15 September. The invitation does not specify their content.
On the remaining issues, the Commission:
- establishes the three-member committee for property lease and rental tenders (the Council must take over the lease of the 4th Municipal Artemida School by 31 October)
- discusses the write-off of confirmed debts arising from traffic offences
- approves the donation of educational materials by Athens International Airport to the 4th Spata Nursery School
- approves the standing advance payments for the 2nd and 6th Primary Schools in Artemida
- approves an amendment to the Internal Service Regulations for new permanent posts, in accordance with Law 5314/2026
That same Friday is also White Night on Artemida Avenue, and a power cut is scheduled in Neapoli from 8.00 am to 5.00 pm.
