Last night I attend my first meeting of the municipality of Ivry-sur-le-lac. I met quite a number of people I didn’t know, and had a pretty good time. There were the 8 members of the council, which consists of the Mayor, the Director General, and six councillors. There were six residents who showed up, including myself, and according to the Mayor this was a pretty good showing.
The business was conducted quickly and efficiently I thought. I found out we will be getting a new Toyota truck to replace the one we no longer have, and also that there will be a new inspector who will be checking water quality and also providing professional consultation services for the municipality. We also seem to have a small surplus in our budget.
During the question and answer period, a number of people raised some good points, concerning work permits, the use of the municipal garage, and the testing of water from a stream that feeds into the lake from the Ivry Sud. I didn’t ask any questions, but I did introduce myself to everyone.
It was quite a difference from the excitement of the Association meeting on the weekend! But overall it was an enjoyable experience.
Today is hot and humid. I have been spending time in the basement, on some woodworking projects, and sandra (my wife) has been taking the sun. She and I are different that way.
Peace.
