The Town Council approved the Town Board's proposal with 8 votes in favour and 3 abstentions.Haraldur Þór Ólason made the following statement: “The town councillors of the Independence Party regret the new loan taken out by the Hafnarfjörður municipal treasury. This 400 million króna loan is only intended to finance the repayment of plot fees, but unpaid obligations remain to numerous contractors and suppliers of the municipality.Of particular note is that the loan terms are an interest rate of 9.81% above indexation, which is worse than the terms available to ordinary borrowers today. In addition, the specified assets of the town are mortgaged. Pledging the assets of the country's third-largest municipality as collateral for a loan of this nature must be unprecedented, and it clearly demonstrates the poor opinion financial institutions have of the City of Hafnarfjörður's ability to meet its obligations.It is both appropriate and necessary to remind the town's residents of the appalling mistake made by the Social Democrats in not immediately selling Hafnarfjörður's share in the South Coast Heat Company in the autumn of 2007 and using the proceeds to pay down foreign debt. Had the relevant proposal from the Independence Party's town councillors been approved, Hafnarfjörður would now be in a much better position to tackle the economic crisis.“

Lúðvík Geirsson made the following statement:“Once again, it shows that the case put forward by the town councillors of the Independence Party is out of touch with reality, which should be well known to them, as their party has been in charge of and responsible for primary responsibility for the economic and financial management of the country for a very, very long time.
item on the agenda of this town council meeting is the confirmation of the town council's unanimous resolution on the disposal of plots of land, totalling just over 200 million króna.
The situation now facing the public, businesses, local authorities and the national treasury is a direct consequence of that stewardship.
<P class=MsoNormal style=“MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt“<FONT face=“Times New Roman“ In the same way, the loan under consideration here is a direct consequence of the economic collapse, which is manifested, among other things, in the mass land returns by individuals and companies to which Hafnarfjörður, like the other largest municipalities in the country, must respond. In case it has escaped the notice of the Independence Party councillors, item 6 is on the agenda.item on the agenda of this town council meeting is the confirmation of the town council's unanimous resolution on the disposal of plots of land, totalling just over 200 million króna.
The discussion and working methods of the Independence Party councillors are quite peculiar:
The party's councillors saw no reason to take part in any work on the preparation and drawing up of the 2009 budget.
The party's councillors had no proposals to put forward during the handling of a budget that is unprecedented.
The only contribution from the party's councillors is to denounce their own council with innuendo and half-truths.
They would be better off taking responsibility for the situation in which society as a whole finds itself after the bankruptcy of the party's free-market ideology.“
