Through Writing Caen

During the last municipal council of Saint-Contest, near Caen (Calvados), at the end of November, the mayor Jean-Marc Philippe proposed to elected officials to approve a motion concerning the development tax.
This represents 240,000 euros for Saint-Contest
Currently, Caen la Mer pays municipalities 75% of the proceeds of this tax. Which, for Saint-Contest, represents € 240,000 and allows the financing of development work “of multi-year investment projects defined at the start of the mandate”.
However, the president of the urban community proposes a degression of the rate of repayment, to arrive at 0% in five years. Unacceptable for Jean-Marc Philippe who already expressed last May his fear of seeing the distribution rules change. Joël Bruneau had assured him that it would not be.
“There is no question of doing without it”
However, new directions were presented on November 16 at a conference of mayors, for reasons of “total vagueness”. Jean-Marc Philippe does not take offense.
I will defend tooth and nail this tax so that it remains with the municipality. These are significant amounts, there is no question of doing without them.
Renovation of the town hall
The companies that will renovate the town hall have been chosen by the works commission. Six lots were awarded, from exterior carpentry to electricity, painting and plumbing. They represent an envelope of € 180,000 excluding tax. For the convenience of the agents, the start of the works is scheduled for spring, they will last until the end of June.

The motion that the proposal be re-discussed was carried by majority minus one vote.
