“Welcome and Benvenguts to Coteaux et Landes de Gascogne”. This will now be the welcome message appearing on signs installed at the entrance to the municipalities, on the outskirts of the CCCLG. This is what the elected officials decided, with supporting photo, at the end of the council meeting on Monday, November 18, at the end of the day, in the community house.
All the deliberations of this penultimate council of the year were adopted unanimously, with the exception of two of them, for which Christophe Lajus, elected representative from Casteljaloux, voted against. First of all, this concerns the application of the special fee to associations, the variable part of which will increase to 0.025 euros per liter. “We must raise awareness among all waste producers for a quantitative reduction,” declared President Raymond Girardi.
The other deliberation which did not achieve complete unanimity was that of the creation of prices for the renewal of badges and keys distributed as part of the implementation of incentive pricing. The distribution of badges in community homes gave rise to negative remarks from certain elected officials. The price for renewing this equipment has been set at 5 euros for badges distributed to households in the area and 7 euros for keys to users not subject to the special fee. “A second free badge will be issued to all households,” added Raymond Girardi.
Grant advance
The Community Council has also authorized the payment of an advance subsidy to the Lou Casao daycare center association, in Leyritz-Moncassin. This advance of 17,500 euros corresponds to 50% of the annual subsidy granted to the association in 2024.
Jumbled together, elected officials excluded non-household producers generating more than 3,000 liters of waste per week from the household waste collection service provided by the CCCLG. The community statutes have been updated to reveal the competence to support sports associations.
The last community council of 2024 will be held Monday December 16.
School outings
As part of school outings, 165 euros were allocated to the Guérin school, 130 euros to the Villefranche-du-Queyran school, 224 euros to the Antagnac school and 598 euros to the Lassalle Sainte institution. -Marie de Casteljaloux.
