34 million euros
Even if it’s topical, we won’t play the game again. At least in terms of the finances of the Municipality. The debate phase came at the end of regular time. last November 21, the evening of the budget orientation report. Gathered on Monday 12 December in the city council, the elected officials did not want to play the extensions at the time of the vote on the original 2023 budget.
For those who do not follow the municipal bulletin, some amounts to remember: in a context of abysmal additional energy costs (+ €2.2 million), Thionville’s debt is balanced at €65.3 million; the Municipality maintains the “Thionville 2030” route with an investment budget set at 34 million euros; a €28.2 million mammoth , corresponding to personnel costs, must always be domesticated if not degreased. Finally, information that is undoubtedly essential for the Thionvillois: in accordance with its commitments, this majority will not increase the tax burden.
€226,000
From the municipal budget to that of the CCAS. The reduction of the structure’s debt continues: from 399 thousand euros in 2022 it should rise to 226 thousand next year: “We are still aiming for zero in 2025”, he says Jean-Charles Louis, Deputy Head of Finance. Brigitte Vaïsse (PS) took the opportunity to ask for “more municipal solidarity in the face of the growing precariousness of many Thionvillois. »
Manon Pellicori (EELV) followed suit, underlining the need to pursue a policy for the elderly “which requires a better offer of mobility. ” Pierre Cuny took control of this point by justifying, once again, the end of the restoration at the Espace Saint-Nicolas, “a service which was addressed to 80 people out of 7,000 Thionvillois aged over 65 …Working on memory and physical laboratories, enhance the free on-demand transport service by hiring a second driver, fight, as we did, to help the neediest during the Covid emergency with 200 meals distributed daily, that’s what I call running a policy senior worthy of the name …”
5 million euros
No one had seen it coming. Not even Jean-Charles Louis. And even less his predecessors… 5 million euros: this is the amount to be included in the Municipality’s 2023 budget for previous study expenses. An accounting game that shouldn’t be evaluated as a debt to be paid (!): “Everything has been paid, of course. These costs go back a long way, to the time of Jean-Marie Demange’s mandate and perhaps even earlier, ”the elected reassures.
5.5 million euros
Let’s go back to the municipal budget. Echoing past positions, Brigitte Vaïsse once again regretted her share of land sales: “This year, these sales represent 5.5 million euros. How will we meet the rising costs of materials and energy if we sell all the “family jewels” of the community? »
The use of the expression did not please the mayor: “The wealth of a city depends on the quality of its structures, as demonstrated by the reconstruction of the Jean-Burger complex. If it’s necessary to sell “family jewels,” an expression I hate, to add value to Thionville’s real estate assets, we’ll hire him. »
1, 20m
A short detour in the heart of the city, restricted area Thierry Ghezzi. Brigitte Vaïsse, again she, launches a complaint: “ Starbucks terrace it takes up the entire sidewalk, at least on days when the rue de Paris is open to traffic. It has become impractical! The commercial assistant is surprised: “The passage is expected to have a regulatory width of 1.20m. In these conditions, I don’t see myself asking this trader to halve his terrace, which is already very small… But I’m going to see. So to see.
