Ķekavas Novada Pašvaldība

What Ķekavas Novada Pašvaldība does

Ķekavas Novada Pašvaldība (Kekava Municipality) is a municipal government entity in Latvia formed in 2021 through the administrative-territorial reform that merged the former Ķekava and Baldone municipalities. The entity administers public services for the residents of Ķekavas novads in the Riga region, encompassing administrative centers in Ķekava, Baldone, Baloži, and Daugmale. Its service portfolio spans education, social welfare, cultural affairs, sports, environmental management, infrastructure maintenance, urban planning, and civil protection.

The municipality's operating model combines in-person service delivery through a main administrative center and customer service points (Klientu apkalpošanas centri) with digital channels including an e-pakalpojumi portal and ArcGIS-based interactive maps for roads, street lighting, and land improvement systems. Civil protection infrastructure is a notable operational focus, with 24 designated shelter locations and a EUR 366,504 EU co-financed project to adapt 8 municipal buildings into category 3 shelters, coordinated alongside the national 112 Latvija emergency mobile application. The municipality operates wholly-owned subsidiaries including Ķekavas novada Sporta centrs, Ķekavas novada Kultūras centrs, SIA "Ķekavas nami", and SIA "Baložu komunālā saimniecība", plus internal divisions for municipal police and social services.

Financially, the entity is funded through four streams: real estate tax (Nekustamā īpašuma nodoklis), state budget allocations for delegated functions (education, social services, healthcare), EU funds (notably the European Regional Development Fund), and fee-based services including construction permits and civil registry fees. Governance rests with an elected council chaired by Viktorija Baire, with Aigars Vītols serving as Deputy Chairperson for Development Matters. The entity is not a commercial enterprise and does not publish revenue figures in the conventional sense, operating instead on annual municipal budgets.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Salaspils novada pašvaldība: Adjacent Riga-region municipality similar in scale, governance tier, and commuter-community function. Comparable because both are post-2021 reform municipalities delivering the same Latvian pašvaldība service mandate to a relatively small population near Riga.
• Mārupes novada pašvaldība: Neighboring Riga-region municipality of comparable population scale, demographic profile (high child share, family-oriented commuter community), and post-2021 reform structure. Direct peer because it operates the same tier of delegated functions (education, social, culture, infrastructure) with a similar tax-base profile.
• Ogres novada pašvaldība: Post-2021 reform municipality of comparable size and population to Ķekavas novads, delivering the same portfolio of education, social, cultural, and infrastructure services. Direct peer due to similar headcount scale, urban-rural mix, and post-reform operational profile.
• Cēsu novada pašvaldība: Post-2021 reform municipality of comparable size and demographic composition, delivering the same full stack of pašvaldība services (education, culture, sports, social, infrastructure). Direct peer in governance structure and operational scope.
• Bauskas novada pašvaldība: Post-2021 reform municipality similar in scale and service portfolio, providing education, social services, cultural programs, and infrastructure management to a comparable population. Direct peer operating at the same Latvian local-government tier.
• Siguldas novada pašvaldība: Riga-region municipality of similar size and post-reform structure with comparable delegated-function portfolio including schools, sports facilities, and cultural institutions. Direct peer given the analogous role within the Riga metropolitan hinterland.

Regional players

• Liepājas valstspilsētas pašvaldība: State-city municipality on Latvia's western coast operating at the same pašvaldība governance tier with analogous service mandate including ports, education, and cultural institutions. Regional peer serving a different geography with comparable municipal-service breadth.
• Jūrmalas valstspilsētas pašvaldība: Latvian state-city municipality operating at the same pašvaldība tier but with a distinct tourism-and-resort economic base and larger seasonal service demands. Comparable as a same-tier Latvian municipality but regional in focus relative to Ķekavas.
• Jelgavas valstspilsētas pašvaldība: State-city municipality in Latvia operating at the same local-government tier with a comparable delegated-function portfolio including university and education services. Regional peer in scale and governance type, though serving a different geography.

Broad incumbents

• Rīgas valstspilsētas pašvaldība (Riga City Council): The capital city municipal government of Latvia and the dominant incumbent in the Riga region. Comparable as the same administrative tier of Latvian local government (pašvaldība), but vastly larger in population, budget, and service scope, making it a broad incumbent rather than a direct peer.
