Municipal services and peculiarities of regulating the process of their provision

Abstract

Despite the great social importance of providing services to the population, solving this problem is complicated at present by difficulties associated with the lack of a unified methodology for managing services at the level of municipal entities, state social minimum standards, and also not fully resolved issues of delimiting powers and subjects of jurisdiction between the levels of government. It is necessary to understand that the provision of services to the local population, among other things, is the basis for the multiplicative development of the economy of a municipal entity. In modern conditions, there is a need to make some clarifications in the conceptual apparatus, highlighting the services provided to the population on the territory of a municipal entity ensuring the life of the local community. Currently, the legislation of the Russian Federation does not contain a clear definition of municipal functions, services, and works. The legislative acts regulating the basis for the provision of municipal services do not cover the entire range of actually provided services and are not coordinated with each other.
