Public authority is a constitutional institute, in other words, the transfer of the performance of administrative tasks to an entity outside state or municipal administrations. It may be granted to legal and natural persons, as well as private and public law persons, with a purpose to increase the efficiency and rationality of the performance of administrative tasks and to reduce the impact of policy. The purpose of the diploma work was to explore the field of public authority in connection with urban municipalities. We focused on public authorities granted to public utility service providers. We were interested in which tasks are most often granted with public authorities and how are the relations between urban municipalities and holders of public authority.
In the bachelor's thesis, we analyzed the content of municipal ordinances, with which urban municipalities explicitly grant public authorities and determined which tasks are most often conferred. With the help of analysis of regulations and a survey, we determined the relations between urban municipalities and holders of public authority.
We have found that public authority most often delegates the tasks of issuing consents, issuing conditions and giving guidelines. We also found that more than half of urban municipalities monitor the exercise of public authority, while the results of providing professional assistance and supervision are worse.
The bachelor's thesis contributes to the knowledge of the institute of public authority in legislation and practice on the municipal level and also offers starting points for further research of both: legal regulations and its implementation.
