Following a change in leadership at the Ogre municipality council, Egils Helmanis, previously the chairman, has taken on the new role as the head of the office for the newly appointed chairman Andris Kraujas. This transition aims to streamline the communication and operational functions within the council, with Helmanis now tasked with overseeing direct communication with local residents and addressing various administrative matters efficiently.

Gints Sīviņš, who has a background as a committee chairman for education, sports, and business promotion, will serve as the deputy head of the office. His experience is expected to complement Helmanis's new role in enhancing the council's operational capacities and fostering better interactions between the council and the residents of Ogre. The office is designed to act as a platform for clear communication between the municipal leadership and the citizens.

According to unconfirmed reports from the LETA agency, the salary for the office head is set at 3500 euros, which highlights the financial implications of this administrative shift. This change in leadership and office restructuring may lead to significant impacts on how the council engages with the community, potentially improving responsiveness and accountability within the local government of Ogre.
