Two options are possible, namely: an election within the current municipal council or the establishment of a classic municipal election within the municipality, which induces the creation of listswith list heads, an election campaign et a return to the polls of voters.

“Ensuring the continuity of construction sites and projects and current affairs”

We are all mobilized to ensure the continuity of the work, the projects undertaken, as well as the projects that were close to the heart of our mayor. Richard was a man of dialogue, a builder, endowed with exceptional acuity and a keen sense of commitment to the service of his fellow citizens. It is up to all of us to meet this formidable challenge with humility and dignity and I am confident. The death of our mayor is above all a family tragedy which affects his loved ones, we were committed to his side to support him within the municipal council.

For their part, the five administrative employees and the five technical employees attach themselves with professionalism et sense of responsibility has extend their daily actions au resident service.
