Policy debate 2011 budget Think Avon 2020.
Intervention Group "Near You "The City Council 16/11/2010
Group Near You read carefully the preparatory document that was given to us. It is an accumulation of figures derived from 2009 data, we lack the realized 2010.
Key points: the cash receipts are stagnating or even falling, despite an increase in tax rates, increase spending heavily and mismanagement unbalance the municipal finances.
must read between the lines of Peter Vaissière the report, it's subliminal. A phrase is now highlighted by compared to last year's report: "Priorities 2011: tight control of operating expenses including payroll and expense management skills".
Another sentence is pronounced today, "a level of cash flow required to finance investments, to limit borrowing." Last year, during the debate, all political groups wanted to borrow. Only Near You asked for reduced spending. Pierre Vaissière wrote: "The town of Avon has a real capacity to borrow. By cons, in case of heavy use borrowing, it will be necessary to measure its ability to repay. " In direct terms, Avon is a small town, who can not afford to pay the annuities . Shift, end of a glorious era. Other thorny issues have been ignored, we will come back when voting the 2011 budget.
The fiscal policy debate is a great moment in the political life of our community. The legislature wanted the councilors take a little time to prepare the budget. At Avon, the debate is conducted briskly 12mn42s later, we hear a cry of victory " done next item. "There are around this table many talents. We would really like to exchange, make a "brainstorming", where all the counselors bring ideas to enrich the thinking and find new solutions.
We must return to fundamentals: a city they are men and women who share a common project, the municipality is to serve the people. We are entering a decade and we are preparing 2020.
There are 3 main categories of population. The first youth, the future of the city . An EU report says that 2020 will require that 40% of an age group has a higher academic degree validated. We are far away. Today 50% of boys in Avon, will not know the general high school or technology. Jean-Marie Bockel presented Mr. President of the Republic a very interesting report on prevention and social education. Ideas are to take and implement speedily in our city.
The second category concerns adults. There is an urgent need to rename a deputy economic action. The highest priority is employment. A large Municipality is a municipality that maintains and develops the business. The function was transferred to the CCFA, but it is far away. Our merchants are suffering, our artisans, our SMEs have concerns. We must help them. Michel Bréchemier few weeks before we leave, we said: "We are 150 shops in Avon, they are 500 in Fontainebleau, we forget." If Beatrice Rucheton struggled not only to culture, there would be no crop at Avon, where John Paul Grandière did not take his bike to move from one plateau to another, there would be more Sports in Avon. Re-launching action economy.
The trosième category are seniors . In 10 years, the number of people over age 80 will have doubled. We get our permanent retirees who came to see you. You're facing a retirement home in Fontainebleau. With great sadness in his eyes, they tell us: "It's a deathtrap, we want to grow old in our city with our friends." Our city must prepare for and adapt its infrastructure and services.
We therefore formulate the strongest reservations about your budget guidelines for 2011! Of roads, highways, roads and always real estate.
We conclude with some words of a great lady. Her name is Marie-José of Chombart Lauwe resistant to the first hour in 1942 to 17 years, deported, Grand Officer of the Legion of Honor. She reacted strongly to the sad attitude Hortefeux during the month of August. She said these words: "the manipulation of security issues in current political discourse must be decrypted and denounced, General de Gaulle himself, spoke of the need to constantly raise France to highs"
So, ladies and gentlemen, n'enfermons not our city in safety, create, imagine a vibrant and warm.
