CITY COUNCIL MEETING
AS OF January 25, 2007
In the year two thousand and seven, on January twenty-fifth at eight thirty minutes, the Municipal Council legally convened, met at the town hall in the usual place of their sessions under the presidency of Mr. OXEANT Jean-Marie, Mayor.
Were present: MM. OXEANT Jean-Marie, LARONCHE Daniel, HELEINE Jacques, Mrs. HAUSERMANN Odette, MM CHEDAL ANGLAY Pierre, LEBREC Daniel, GUEDON Henri and CORDELLE Yves.
Were absent: Mr. HAMEL Olivier (excused), Mr. COLIBOEUF Michel.
PROFESSIONAL TAX
The Mayor informs the city council that the parliament has voted for an amendment to the 2006 Finance Law to cap the amount of the business tax. A new rate has been calculated for each municipality that will become a reference rate, beyond which the community of municipalities will have to pay a co-payment to the state services. Thus, after deliberating, the municipal council decides to adopt this reference rate which will avoid, in view of the transferred powers, an overload on intermunicipal finances but which will lead to a decrease in the municipal tax revenue.
SUBSIDY TO ASSOCIATIONS
After deliberating, the municipal council decides on the payment of a subsidy to associations: the same amount as in 2006 to the same associations.
INVESTMENT FORECAST 2007
The Mayor takes stock of the work in progress that should be completed in 2007 (subdivision and development of the village). The Mayor recalls that the tractor necessary for maintenance work is old, in fairly bad condition and that it should be changed. The city council decides to buy a new one, used model and charges the Mayor with this acquisition.
THE EMERGENCY POST
The rescue station has been disused for several years, temporarily a construction module is rented each year. The Martin Calais model gave complete satisfaction in 2006 but a final construction should be planned. A meeting took place at the beginning of the year with all the state services concerned (Prefect, Civil Security, DDE, DASS, ABF). The Mayor wants this construction to be done at the end of 2007 so that it can be operational in 2008. An architectural consultation has been launched. The municipal council decides to include in the 2007 Primitive Budget the amount of the study and start-up costs of the construction site. The Mayor is authorized to sign all the documents useful for this achievement.
LITTORAL PATH
The Municipal Council, having read the documents submitted to the public inquiry, regrets the choice of the route chosen for the circulation of bicycles along CD 517. The municipality had already drawn the attention of the project promoters to the risks incurred by cyclists to cut off the traffic of CD 517 downstream of the intersection with the CD 514, to use a one-way communal road in both directions. In addition, the development plan defined as part of the support for the classification of the site provides for a reorganization of traffic in this sector, including for coaches. The City Council believes that a simpler route is possible by maintaining the descent route to the west of CD517, by a right of way on the wide shoulders, thus reducing the width of the shared track in favor of a longer portion of greenway. The connection in shared lane would be made at the crossroads of the memorials. A development in sector 30 between the Hôtel du Casino and the brewery "La Plage d'Or" would improve the safety of all. It could even be extended to the entire Boulevard de Cauvigny. On the other hand, it should be abandoned on the Camping road because the planned route cuts the Museum in half: the greenway must be started earlier, north of parcel AI 73.
The Municipal Council instructs the Mayor to transmit his request to the Prefect of Calvados.
CREDIT TRANSFER
The municipal council decides to make the following credit transfer:
- Article 022 "unforeseen expenses": - €2164.00
- Article 16 "Borrowings and similar debts": + 1761.00€
– Article 66 "Financial expenses": + €403.00
POST OFFICE
The city council regrets the decrease in the number of opening hours of the Post Office and the unilateral choice of closing days, not adapted to the needs of the inhabitants, running a fairly large risk of decommissioning towards this public service sector. The city council regrets that this is the only response to the petition signed by 195 people from Vierville sur Mer and neighboring municipalities.
NAME OF STREETS
The city council unanimously decides to name the two new streets with the names of:
V Désiré Lemière: municipal subdivision
V Robert Boulard: Dumont subdivision.
These two resistance fighters; residents of Vierville, arrested in the spring of 1944, were executed on the morning of June 6 by their tortorers at Caen prison. Their bodies were never found.
