The Mayor thanks the councilors present for responding to his summons sent within a short time due to the urgency of the agenda.
The Municipal Council, in view of the fax of July 18 from the post office, retains the urgency of the situation and agrees to deliberate.
POST OFFICE
The Mayor reads the two letters from the post office on July 10 and July 18, relating to the closure of the Vierville post office on July 10, 2007.
This unannounced closure decision taken urgently is argued on the insecurity of the Vierville office following the summer use of the former company accommodation by two rescuers at sea assigned to the security of the Vierville beach. The Municipal Council regrets the procedure chosen by the post office to review 1995 decisions and considers it completely illegal for its representatives to enter private and occupied premises to be completely illegal.
Then the City Council takes note of the following documents:
– Deliberation of the Municipal Council of November 04, 1992 accepting the signing of a non-renewable 3-year lease with the post office for the rental of the company housing;
– Deliberation of the City Council of October 12, 1994 fixing the amount of a rent for the only rental of the post office;
– The letter from the Postal Directorate of January 04, 1995 recording the end of the occupation by post office housing;
– Deliberation of the Municipal Council of January 05, 1995 recording the end of this lease;
– The letter from the Directorate of Calvados of March 23, 1995 establishing that the post office no longer wishes to have housing in the Vierville establishment and recording the agreements reached between the Directorate of the postal grouping and the Mayor of Vierville for a post office of the work necessary for the separation of the premises;
– Deliberation of the Municipal Council of February 08, 2000 deciding to house each summer season, from the summer of 2000, two beach supervisors.
After deliberating, the Municipal Council considers that the post office itself has decided to abandon the official housing of the Vierville post office for which it no longer pays rent since 1er January 1995, and that its staff was perfectly informed of the presence each summer of two rescuers in this accommodation.
The Municipal Council therefore confirms that the office housing of the post office and its outbuildings were returned to the municipality on 1er January 1995, and that following the 1995 agreements, it is up to the post office to take charge of the work it deems necessary for the separation of the premises. He calls for the immediate reopening of the post office to the public.
