Here are some excerpts of the speech delivered by Mr. ANDRE ceremony vows of Thursday, January 13, 2011, at Rouvière
Dear Colleagues, Ladies Gentlemen,
"This ceremony may seem like a simple tradition, is indeed a unique opportunity to unite all forces are in the community so this is an important event, a good way to show our willingness move forward together and mobilize for a better collective future. I want it to be a convivial and warm where my opening remarks. And more generally I feel that our community is a common place where we like to get to work in a good mood on the future of our country. I think that is the case now and we need it to last. This is particularly true that many areas of concern exist. I just said, I do not want to do in the gloom, but how could we ignore the massive increase in unemployment, reduced purchasing power, increasing demands for welfare, and on the territorial organization the removal of business tax and the progressive implementation of the reform community. In the current climate of concern, I think local is essential, with the power of proximity, this irreplaceable link to people that some would still away, however the decision centers. And also at our level, within the framework imposed on us, it behooves us to demonstrate ambition, determination, and make every effort to prepare for the future with a goal to always live together better "
"I want to address the issue of reform local law which was promulgated on December 16. Reform, you probably know at least in outline, which is actually quite complex and not particularly secure about the financial aspect. About intermunicipal we know that community representatives will be designated by signs at the polls in municipal elections lists of 2014 (ante, but it is not yet final, for municipalities with more than 500 inhabitants). We also know that the prefects are responsible for establishing the SDCI, an acronym that we will hear much comment and therefore, during this year 2011 and that means Diagram County Intermunicipal Cooperation. It should be completed by December 31, 2011. This scheme aims to streamline the perimeters of public Intermunicipal Cooperation which will regroup under the law a minimum of 5000 inhabitants. With our 11,000 inhabitants, we might think that we are not concerned, except that the word rationalization gives significant power to the prefect of questioning, he has declared recently at the Nîmes Métropole wishes he expected the agglomeration of the proposals on its future scope. A circular Ministerial addressed to prefects dated December 27, 2010 are asked to submit a draft outline for the new County Commission Intermunicipal Cooperation in the month of April 2011. If I give this accuracy is to show that the schedule is tight and if we do not want to suffer the prefect choice but mastering our future, it behooves us to prepare ourselves to make proposals. Last year, before you had developed arguments to defend our structure it either in its current form, extended or very extended. Anything I could say about our collective ambition, on our shared vision, our privileged location, on our town center of St Genies, the unifying element is wood and Leins, on all our strengths, remains true and these have served us during our meeting with services of the prefecture in July. I'll do it again, especially since the bulk is contained in our project area. Our thinking must now be urgently and on the perimeter that we want to give our community or to a new community located between Nimes and Ales. It's obviously more complicated because we need to work closely with communities in town. On several occasions the prefect has clearly indicated that there was room for an intermunicipal between Nimes and Ales, and suggested that our task to make proposals. The problem is that depending on whether one lives in Parignargues, Serre St Jean or St Hippolyte de Caton has not felt the same, and rightly so. These are examples to say that according to our location we do not have the same idea of the scope and position of intermunicipal intermediary between Alès and Nîmes. Nobody wants a break from his community and we understand more our colleagues that we have this same position. Nevertheless, we must now anticipate a demand that we would be to impose a single community intermediary between Nimes and Ales "
" There may be well on different proposals or nuanced, but from my point of view it is this approach that we must work with our neighbors in other communities if one community through should remain. One view, which I think is widely shared by my colleagues Leins Gardonnenque since that all I can say today is the result of our discussions on the subject. I understand that the community around common Lédignan considering a merger with Coutach-Vidourle, I do not know the motivation, but there is another approach. Ours is to stay Gardonnenque, it's not going to Vidourle Basin. And if we were to go, what would I think he, more through the community of municipalities of the country by that of Sommières Coutach Vidourle. That this I wanted to say about who will worry about the weeks and months to come "
" Finally, I wish to say a few words is something we have not discussed in the ommunity is the creation the next pole between Nimes and Ales Metro will replace the current association. In continuation of our position, which is to say we are not in opposition to the cities of Nimes and Ales but instead we want to work together and complement, the idea of integrating this business seems to me personally interesting "
"It is time on my own behalf and on behalf of all delegates community, you resent my best wishes for happiness and health for the year 2011. It is full of joy and warmth for you and your family, it is full of successes for your communications and also for our Community of Communes "
