[0:00] Bonjour à tous. Hello, everyone. Mon nom est Patrice Boileau, directeur général pour la
[0:04] ville et je suis content de pouvoir vous présenter le budget 2026. So I'm really happy that I will
[0:11] present to you the 2026 budget for the city, as well as the capital program. I'll be accompanied
[0:18] by my director of finance and treasury, Robert Lacroix, qui va m'accompagner pour cette
[0:25] présentation-là. Donc, sans plus tarder, les sujets que nous allons
[0:29] emborder sont les outils financiers. Je sais que je l'ai déjà présenté dans le
[0:33] passé, mais je pense pour les nouvelles personnes, ça peut être intéressant de
[0:36] comprendre comment le budget fonctionne. We'll talk about the context for 2026,
[0:42] the agglomeration shares that we have to pay to the Montreal. Notre
[0:48] programme triennale d'immobilisation 2026-2028. Evidemment, le budget 2026 c'est
[0:55] façaillant ainsi que les taxes de la ville pour 2026. Donc quand on parle d'outils
[1:04] financiers, vous savez, la ville n'a pas le droit de faire de déficits donc on
[1:08] est obligatoirement, on doit obligatoirement réaliser un surplus qui
[1:13] dans le milieu de la planche que vous voyez à l'écran, et après avoir déterminé nos
[1:20] dépenses, on doit déterminer quelles vont être les revenus qui vont être associés
[1:24] à ces dépenses-là, ce qui constitue notre budget, qui est présenté toujours de façon
[1:29] équilibrée. Mais en cours d'année, c'est certain qu'on ne peut pas faire de déficits,
[1:33] sinon on pourrait être dans l'obligation de vous envoyer une facture en cours d'année,
[1:38] ce que, évidemment, on ne veut pas faire. À la fin d'une année, on termine d'année
[1:42] avec un certain surplus, lequel le surplus devient un surplus libre et on détermine comment
[1:48] sera utilisé ce surplus libre en faisant des affectations dans des réserves, comme on le
[1:53] voit dans le bas de l'écran. Et aussi, on peut, par exemple, vous payez une partie
[1:58] du fonds de roulement, ce qui libère des sous pour le budget avenir. Donc notre budget
[2:04] ensuite, évidemment, il y a des réserves et surplus qui pourront être utilisées
[2:09] pour redonner en revenu dans l'année budgétaire.
[2:15] And some, the working fund or the boring balance will also be part of our debt service,
[2:20] qui font partie des dépenses rendues-là.
[2:23] Un autre source de revenu que nous avons,
[2:25] another source that we have as revenue is the parks fund
[2:28] that could be used specifically for parks purposes.
[2:33] Donc globalement, de façon très schématique,
[2:36] voici comment est composé un budget de villes. Le contexte 2026, on a traîné
[2:45] qu'un IPC de 2025 à octobre 2025 à 3,3%. Vous allez souvent attendre peut-être
[2:51] ces 3,4% à dépendance du moment de l'année où on l'utilise, donc un ou l'autre ça se
[2:57] ressemble. On a traîné avec les MADA du comité de finances qui est composé de trois élus de
[3:04] 5 citoyens ainsi que du conseil pour préparer le budget 2026 qui va être présenté le
[3:12] 1 décembre le 19 janvier pour adoption auprès du conseil municipal et également une particularité
[3:19] à tous les 3 ans on a un nouveau rôle d'évaluation donc 20, we have a new evaluation role that
[3:25] was presented by the evaluation department Montreal on septembre 10th 2025, which for
[3:33] pour les prochaines trois années, donc 26, 27 et 28.
[3:36] Nous avons un nouveau rôle d'évaluation.
[3:38] Toutes les propriétés ont bougé dans ce rôle d'évaluation
[3:42] et nous allons avoir une nouvelle taxe de décrédition
[3:46] ou d'incrédition dans la prochaine année en 2026
[3:51] et cela va être baladé à normal en 27 et 28.
[3:56] Donc ce que nous avons noté est que
[3:59] leий avg pour une hôme est augmentée de 6,51%
[4:04] de 1,33 million des dollars
[4:08] à 1,100 million des dollars.
[4:11] C'est donc l'avg de la vente de l'hôme
[4:13] par contre sur le territoire de l'Île de Montréal
[4:18] pour l'agglomération,
[4:20] l'augmentation moyenne de l'ensemble du rôle est de 12,2%
[4:26] Et les valeurs résidentielles ont augmenté en moyenne de 9,8 % sur l'île de Montréal
[4:32] et les valeurs non-résidentielles dont les secteurs commerciaux, industrielles, institutionnels
[4:38] de 19,4 %. Ça a un impact sur la façon que le budget peut être préparé pour la
[4:46] ville.
[4:47] Dans notre contexte, nous avons préparé un budget pour rencontrer certains besoins
[4:54] que nous avons, en plus d'en tenir compte des données que je viens de vous mentionner.
[5:00] Donc, on a un compte de taxe global qui augmentera de 3,89 % pour la maison de valeur moyenne
[5:09] de 1,1,714 dollars.
[5:15] Donc, le nouveau rôle a eu l'effet suivant sur les copares d'agglomérations qui sont
[5:21] transmises aux villes. Comme vous pouvez voir dans le haut du tableau, à la Ville de Montréal,
[5:25] c'est 7,2 % d'augmentation de la copart de la Ville de Montréal pour les fins des services
[5:33] d'agglomération, which are police department, fire department, les grands espaces, les
[5:40] grands parcs, evaluation department, etc., municipal court.
[5:46] Pour nous, tous les autres palais de immersion, ou les palais de reconstituité,
[5:51] c'est 8,8 % pour une avraise à la fin du slide, 7,5 % avraise à l'incrise
[5:59] dans les séances des 16 palais de services de diagonaux.
[6:06] De façon intéressante ou non, vous pouvez voir la deuxième ligne des villes reconstituées,
[6:12] big and field, on a une légère réduction de moins 0,5%. Donc ça reflète de ce que
[6:19] je vous ai mentionné que notre augmentation moyenne est de 6,5% alors que sur l'agglot,
[6:25] l'augmentation moyenne est de 12,2%. Donc pour une rare fois, on bénéficie d'une réduction
[6:31] de notre code par. Malgré ceci étant dit, ça n'empêche pas qu'on évalue à ce
[6:41] trop perçu de côtes-parts de l'ordre de 2 à 2,5 millions de dollars pour 2026, qui
[6:49] va s'avérer à être un montant similaire à 2027 et 2028. Ce qui fait que nous allons
[6:54] continuer notre démarche auprès de Montréal et du Grand-du-Québec, notre démarche judiciaire
[7:01] pour récupérer ces sommes. Donc en février, nous allons payer notre côte-parts sous
[7:11] de 22 millions d'euros.
[7:15] Ceci étant dit, nous avons notre programme de capital,
[7:18] 26 à 28,
[7:20] qui est pour trois ans,
[7:23] un peu moins, un peu plus,
[7:25] plus que 100 millions d'euros,
[7:27] pour les cinq différents thèmes
[7:29] que nous regardons.
[7:31] Nous avons les programmes d'infrastructure
[7:33] et les programmes d'alentation de roues,
[7:37] parcs et facilités de leisure.
[7:38] the buildings and vehicle replacement program.
[7:44] Pour 2026, l'ensemble du PTI se rapproche de 26 millions de dollars,
[7:52] 2027 de près de 40 millions de dollars et 2028 de près de 45 millions de dollars
[7:58] pour un somme d'un peu plus de 110 millions de dollars sur trois années.
[8:02] En 2026, nous allons probablement emprunter près de la moitié, un peu plus de la moitié
[8:09] si tous les projets se réalisent, nous emprunterions environ un peu plus de la moitié de cette
[8:16] somme pour financer nos projets.
[8:18] Donc l'ensemble des données qui sont présentées ici, ça ne comprend pas les subventions
[8:23] et autres sources de financement que la ville a à sa disposition.
[8:27] Par exemple, pour l'année 2026, nous estimons que nous allons emprunter environ 14 millions
[8:36] de dollars pour près de 26 millions de dollars de travaux, donc ce sont des problèmes d'infrastructure,
[8:41] de rénovation de bâtiments, d'amélioration de certains de nos équipements à la ville,
[8:48] ce qui représente 54,5 % du montant qui serait utilisé, qui serait emprunté pour l'ensemble
[8:57] du projet triennale 2026, si tous les projets se réalisaient. Donc on a aussi le travail du fond de
[9:03] roulement. We have our working fund, it's autofinancing for the city, about 5.2% with 1.3 million dollars.
[9:11] Grants that we, some that we know and some that we hope to have are 5.5 million dollars.
[9:18] Through the budget we are paying 2.675.000 dollars. For example, the repaying program
[9:25] à 1,6 million dollars,
[9:26] est payée au budget.
[9:28] Et nous utilisons, dans notre surplus,
[9:31] des réserves en surplus de 2,270,000 dollars,
[9:35] qui totalent de plus de 26 million dollars.
[9:40] Et pour les grants, nous avons 21% qui sont prévus
[9:45] pour notre programme capital 26.
[9:50] Notre budget est à peu près 10% de l'utilisation
[9:52] du budget pour le programme de capital et 8,7% utilisé par nos réserves et les services.
[10:01] À ce moment de la présentation, je vais demander à mon collègue Robert
[10:05] de faire la présentation du budget.
[10:10] Robert, si tu veux bien te joindre à moi.
[10:20] Bonjour à tous, il me fait plaisir de me joindre à notre directeur général,
[10:24] Patrice, pour vous présenter les grandes lignes du budget 2026.
[10:28] Alors, Robert Lacroix, je suis directeur des finances et trésorier.
[10:32] Welcome all taxpayers, very pleased to join our Director-General, Patrice, to present the 2026 budget.
[10:41] Globally, if we look at our budget 2026, we're talking of a budget of $65.4 million,
[10:50] an increase of 3.45% compared to the 2025 budget.
[10:56] Si on regarde globalement, le budget de la ville pour 20,26, 65,4 millions de budgets
[11:03] globales en augmentation de 3,45 %, fait à remarquer, si vous regardez la portion de
[11:10] Beacon Field, elle représente 51,5 % du budget global, ce qu'on appelle notre budget
[11:17] local, et la glomération représente donc 48,5 %, donc près de la moitié du budget
[11:24] est encore dédié au financement des cotes par d'agnomérations.
[11:32] Si nous regardons les détails de nos revenus, la façon dont nous allons balancer notre budget
[11:37] pour 2026, donc la taxation localement est une augmentation de 12,8% ou $1,9 million,
[11:48] mais comme expliqué au début pour le 97% de nos taxpayers, l'augmentation sera environ
[11:55] 3,89 % donc 12,8 % ne prend pas en compte l'agglomération, la reduction, la 4e rôme
[12:04] de ce slide. Et c'est aussi de mélanger toutes les catégories, on va présenter plus
[12:09] plus de détails sur la plus grande catégorie, la catégorie de l'on-dwelling fiscal. Au niveau
[12:16] de l'eau pour le budget local, il y aura une augmentation de 10 $ du tarif fixe qui
[12:23] en janvier qui est de 40 $, il va être augmenté à 50 $, ce qui va générer un 70 000 $ environ
[12:29] de revenus additionnels.
[12:31] On va aussi augmenter un petit peu la taxe d'eau, donc cela va générer $145,000 pour
[12:41] 214, 215K de nouvelles revenus pour l'année prochaine.
[12:44] Pour les garbages, nous allons augmenter le tarif de charge en janvier de 5 $,
[12:54] donc cela va générer plus de 35,5 000 $ dans notre budget.
[12:59] Nous allons également augmenter le tarif de l'offre de 10 cents pour tous les types de bins,
[13:05] donc cela va générer un extra 11 000 $.
[13:08] l'agglomération, la taxation est réduite parce que le rôle de l'assessment a été déposé,
[13:16] comme mentionné par ma collègue Patrice, l'eau qu'on achète de l'aglo est réduite
[13:23] par 1%, qui est exactement le prix de l'eau qu'on achète, 1,4 million d'euros estimé pour
[13:31] pour 2026.
[13:33] On va aussi avoir une petite réduction
[13:35] du gouvernement
[13:37] qui est relativement à notre
[13:39] librairie. On va expliquer plus
[13:40] les détails, les grandes discrepancies
[13:42] plus tard.
[13:43] L'usage de
[13:45] notre budget
[13:47] a été réduit par
[13:48] environ 1,5 million dollars
[13:51] ou 468,000 dollars
[13:53] l'année prochaine.
[13:54] Nous avons utilisé 1,2 million pour
[13:57] l'équilibrium du budget, on va le présenter
[13:59] encore plus tard.
[14:00] Et d'autres revenus,
[14:02] including mutation rights
[14:03] et also the renting of the arena.
[14:07] Mutation rights will later be increased
[14:09] by 250,000 for next year.
[14:12] And the arena will generate
[14:13] also an extra 150K.
[14:16] So the total amount
[14:17] we do balance our revenues
[14:19] with our expenses, $65.4
[14:21] million for next year
[14:23] an increase of 3.45%.
[14:27] Si on regarde du côté des dépenses, et là, j'inviterais les gens à les consulter si ils veulent plus de détails.
[14:33] Ici, on présente les dépenses selon leur objet, mais elles sont aussi présentées par activité dans un document de 8 pages
[14:41] qui est accessible également sur le site Internet de la ville. Ici, on va juste vous présenter par objet les grandes catégories de dépenses.
[14:50] Mais si vous voulez plus de détails pour connaître le coût de l'incendie, le coût du transport en commun, etc.
[14:55] Je vous invite à aller consulter la version de 8 pages qui est disponible en ligne.
[15:02] So for the one that would be interested to get more details about our expenses by activities,
[15:08] I would like to refer to the eight-page document on the budget where you'll find all the taxation
[15:14] rates and also all the expenses by activity on this specific slide will present by nature
[15:22] our biggest expenses for 2026.
[15:26] So, the salaries and the contributions, the social benefits of our employees,
[15:31] which represent 43% of our local budget or 22%, if you want,
[15:37] of the global budget of the city, are at the base of $880,000
[15:42] or 6.39%.
[15:44] We will explain a little bit the details after the presentation.
[15:48] For our professional services and our contracts, for all goods and services being delivered
[15:55] next year, you see there's an increase of 11%, but one specific element, the demolition
[16:03] of the Lord Reed and Yacht Club is explaining an increase of 500K, 500,000 dollars d'augmentation
[16:10] of this category of expenses is justified by a non-recurrent project on the demolition
[16:15] of the Grange of the Lourdes-Ridin Club.
[16:19] At the level of non-durable goods, we would prefer to spend more electricity, gas,
[16:27] salt and sand on the roads, the books we buy at the library,
[16:30] it is quite stable, even a slight decrease of 1.31%.
[16:36] Then, if we look at Montreal's metropolitan community, which has about 533,000 total of 770-12,000
[16:45] presented on this line, there is an increase of $18,000.
[16:49] And this is really the increase of our cohort for the ACMM community.
[16:55] The others depend, essentially, on donations for leisure activities and community associations.
[17:02] and the mountain is quite stable in the line that is presented here.
[17:08] At the level of our debt service, the debt of the city is set
[17:12] and will be around 31 December 2025, of $20 million.
[17:17] On the other hand, what is special next year is that we have
[17:20] a portion of that debt that will be refinanced in July 2026,
[17:26] which means refinancing costs of $180,000,
[17:35] for a variation of 341,000 or 11.51% of the net service
[17:41] of debt.
[17:41] For capital projects, the $1.6 million, the increase of $100,000, is
[17:48] explained with our repaving program.
[17:50] So this year, we're planning to pay cash for paving $1.6
[17:57] million.
[17:58] So that's an increase of $100,000.
[18:00] compared to last year's budget.
[18:03] And again, the cut-out that glow $31.7 million
[18:08] is still representing 48.5% of our global budget.
[18:13] I'll leave our director general present the highlights
[18:17] of our budget.
[18:18] Merci à tous.
[18:22] Merci beaucoup Robert.
[18:24] I know it's a lot of numbers, but that's what budget is.
[18:28] Donc ça fait beaucoup de données.
[18:29] but there is a lot of information that is available on our website, of course.
[18:35] So, in the face of this, there is a lot of interest on the right to change the city.
[18:40] So, we can see the first three columns in red.
[18:43] It's the middle of five years.
[18:44] Obviously, the first column of 2010-2014.
[18:47] So, it's a new era.
[18:49] It's interesting to see this evolution.
[18:51] And we see the middle of five years from 2020-2024,
[18:56] which is more relevant, of almost $5.7 million.
[18:59] So, in 2025, we have a projection that is at the 31st of October of $6.5 million.
[19:07] And we have increased our revenue budget for the right to mutate $250,000 from $3.4 million to $3,650,000.
[19:19] So, it helps to balance our budget in 2022.
[19:24] In the FESSAIAN, the local taxation revenue of $1.9 million has already been mentioned.
[19:33] Robert has talked about water.
[19:35] You know a big water component that is actually a pay-out user, which is for consumption.
[19:43] Our storage and other waste is $150,000.
[19:48] It's often work that we do instead of agglomeration.
[19:50] And this year, we have a professional service project to evaluate the possibility of
[19:56] dragging into the streams to facilitate the flow of water during heavy rain.
[20:04] This year, obviously, the arena will be functional throughout the year, so our revenues
[20:09] linked to the arena allocation are at a high of $149,300.
[20:14] We'll have interest on tax areas of $80,000, an increase.
[20:19] government transfers including the Pact fiscal up to $63,000 and garbage
[20:27] tax that's $46,000. So, des revenus à la baisse, l'utilisation des réserves de
[20:33] $468,750 comparativement à 2025. Les taxes d'agglots négèrent
[20:41] réduction de $169,110. La subvention de la bibliothèque, $78,400.
[20:48] dollars. So already during the COVID, there were strong increases in
[20:53] bibliotech subsidies. It seems that the wind has chosen to bring that back to what we
[20:57] found in the past. So we have a reduction of $ 78,400
[21:02] this year. In front of residual matter, there is a reduction in the amount
[21:08] received by the government during $ 36,000 and the dog licenses that are
[21:12] two years old. So there is no dog license for this year, which will be
[21:16] to make all of the owners and guardians of dogs $35,000 less in return.
[21:24] Other things.
[21:25] Salary expenses.
[21:26] In wages, we're talking about $880,000.
[21:29] Marginal benefits.
[21:30] We've bought a few places to improve services made to citizens.
[21:36] For example, in Urbana, with a new place to be able to put the permits more quickly,
[21:42] especially those who are allowed to, without realizing that we have all the inspections to do that we have taken late during the period of COVID that we have not caught yet.
[21:51] And the same thing with all the residential pools. There is still a two-year period, but we would like to have the opportunity to help meet the requirements and be able to confirm that they are well conformed to the law.
[22:06] also to the public work, especially in the technical service.
[22:10] We added a post to allow us to manage all the projects
[22:13] that will also be accompanied by a person who will be more dedicated
[22:16] to the contractual management at the level of the strike.
[22:19] So, among other things, there are three posts that have been added,
[22:23] without saying that Beaconsfield by thousands of inhabitants
[22:25] is a municipality whose number of employees is relatively low
[22:29] compared to the other cities on the island of Montreal.
[22:32] We have a special project for demolition of the marina building at a price of $500,000.
[22:39] We will read the results of this more precisely at the end of January in an offer.
[22:44] The financing costs of $180,000.
[22:47] Last year, we did not finance our projects.
[22:49] We expected that there would be a decrease in interest rates on the markets,
[22:53] which would be likely.
[22:55] Except this year, we would finance the double of what we would normally finance year by year.
[23:01] And, for example, the Rena project for 5.5 million, or the JT project for 3.2 million, or 3.5 million,
[23:09] will be financed for the first time during the year.
[23:14] Normally, it will be mid-July.
[23:16] Also, at the level of professional services in sustainable development and artificial intelligence,
[23:21] we will be accompanied at a certain level for up to $150,000 more in the budget for professional services.
[23:27] we will add a rainwater inspection for $130,000, something we didn't do on a regular basis,
[23:36] which now we will do on an annual basis, with the possibility to do the whole network at all,
[23:45] at all the 5 years. So there is a principle that drainage systems are self-cleaning,
[23:51] but it doesn't work as well as we would like, and we want to ensure that our systems are well cleaned.
[23:56] The draggage project, as mentioned, is a spending of $115,000.
[24:03] These spending are made at the agglomeration in Montreal.
[24:08] When we do these work for them, instead of the agglomeration,
[24:12] we have the responsibility to maintain certain infrastructures for the agglomeration.
[24:16] The $100,000 repair problem this year is $1.5 to $1.6 million.
[24:21] dollars and computer services. So we have an increase of $65,000. It's all the
[24:27] licenses, it's all the super security, all the verification of our systems. So we
[24:33] do business with companies to help us at this level.
[24:37] It depends on the base. So at the level of agglomeration, $179,000 less this year.
[24:43] We are strong with that. The elections, so we're removing the expenditures for elections
[24:49] for $105,000. Those are the ones not related to personnel.
[24:55] Working fund, a reduction of $81,000.
[24:58] The accounting services and small equipment,
[25:02] not the captasable equipment for $59,000.
[25:07] Archives, it was the digital transformation,
[25:13] so we are well accompanied and this project is almost over,
[25:16] so we could reduce our expenditures by $55,000.
[25:18] and the water network management of $40,000.
[25:23] So last year was a big year in our network.
[25:25] And every two, second and third year,
[25:28] that's less expensive for the water management network
[25:32] with our contract.
[25:34] Depends on the debt, so we have an increase in capital reimbursement and interest of $242,000.
[25:44] And in terms of reserves, we talked about a reduction in reserves of $450,000.
[25:51] Well, we still have an important use of our reserves, so $1,220,000 that comes from the budgetary balance reserve.
[26:01] This is the total amount of reserves used to balance the budget in 2026.
[26:07] All of this would be the equivalent of a larger tax increase.
[26:13] Forrester-Urban, we will use in our reserve the Forrester-Urban 200,000 dollars,
[26:18] which is 100,000 dollars and to encourage or facilitate the owners
[26:24] to plant trees on their private property.
[26:27] They are in association with 15% of the cost of maple planting, the furniture and the maple planting.
[26:34] Climate change is $50,000. We want to make a study for generators. Innovation, $35,000.
[26:44] And election, there are small amounts to pay this year for last year's election.
[26:50] So we're using what's left in the reserve to pay for that amount.
[26:55] Then, the taxes, as mentioned, are a 3.89% increase.
[27:04] So, in January, when you receive your tax account, it's the mountain that you will see
[27:11] for a house of average value of $1,100,000.
[27:16] And so you have the fund tax for Beaconsfield, which has an increase of 12.9%.
[27:25] The tariff rate for Deichel, an increase of $5 of 2.33%.
[27:32] The tariff rate for Lowe, which is a base rate of $40 to $50, $10,
[27:37] which is 25% on this line, for a total of 12.14%.
[27:44] and the official tax of ACLO, a reduction of 0.54% for a global tax account of 3.89%.
[27:55] I think it's interesting to mention here, at the level of the impact of the new role of evaluation
[28:02] and the taxes that will be presented, there are still 45% of the owners who will have a tax base
[28:10] And because it's an increase in funds that is lower than 2.55%, so all the property owners
[28:20] who have an increase in property value of 2.55% or less will see a tax decrease.
[28:27] Then, inside the inflation level, we are open with almost 64% of the property owners
[28:34] who have a tax decrease or an increase lower than the inflation level.
[28:39] We calculate 3.3% in October 2025, and if we look at the average tax rate of 3.89% for the average house,
[28:51] it's 67.8% of the owners who have a tax equivalent to that of the average or lower house.
[28:59] And there are a little more than 32% of the owners who will see their tax account increased by more than 3.89%.
[29:11] In November, you will receive the tax account for water consumption and use of waste services.
[29:20] I think it's important to mention that these amounts serve to pay us what it costs the city.
[29:26] On cherch pas à faire de l'argent que c'est mon temps là, c'est vraiment ce que ça coûte
[29:30] à la ville d'acheter l'eau, à l'agglomération, qui est l'avant-dernière ligne, c'est ce
[29:36] que ça coûte à la ville d'acheter l'eau.
[29:37] Ensuite, nous, la ville, we must distribute the water and pick up the garbage.
[29:42] So the distribution of the water includes all the costs for our employees to maintain
[29:46] the network, to fix the pipes, to the contracts we have to install the pipes, to fix
[29:55] all the damages that we have that's sewer and and and water
[30:00] So the global cost related to the vehicles, the manpower, et cetera. Well, that's computed
[30:06] in this number, and we're not trying to make money on this. We're trying to cover all our
[30:10] costs related to that.
[30:12] So, for the waste, the amount has increased from 10 under the lever.
[30:20] This is for the mountains that are indicated there.
[30:23] This is for the backyard of 240 litres,
[30:25] which is the majority of the citizens who have a 240-litre tank.
[30:30] With a usage of 29 collects per year,
[30:33] whose water is included in a base water supply in January.
[30:36] So, it remains 17 to be manufactured in autumn in November,
[30:40] which is about the average usage of people for the average value of the house
[30:46] with a large average bag of average usage of 29 colleagues.
[30:50] This is what it represents as a cost.
[30:53] And the same thing for the top, it's for 300 m³.
[30:57] So anyone that tries to improve their services related to that,
[31:02] well, it's going to cost less than what's presented in this table.
[31:07] Also, I would like to mention that at the expense of waste, we will add from the month of March
[31:15] an abundance of residual waste and compost.
[31:21] So there was no collection during the winter.
[31:24] In fact, it was once a month from December to April.
[31:28] And now we will have an abundance of waste in the year-long.
[31:31] and that is from the 1st of March with a new contract that was signed on the last autumn.
[31:37] So this obviously constitutes the global tax count of 3.89% for a property of average value
[31:49] of $1,100,714.
[31:52] You can see the local tax and the agglomeration, as I already mentioned,
[31:58] For Beaconsfield, we also wanted to meet more needs that we could not do in the previous years.
[32:05] And our needs are still important with all the work that comes from the infrastructure,
[32:11] which will also allow us to have balanced budgets for the years to come.
[32:16] On top of that, I will leave you with questions to ask for the Assembly of the Council of 19 January,
[32:25] It will be held at 19 o'clock, so there will be the adoption of the budget as well as
[32:30] the adoption of the immobilization trial program, Monday, January 19th at 7 p.m.
[32:36] Those are the two items on the agenda, so you could contact us if you want more information.
[32:41] I invite you to be present to the meeting.
[32:44] It's a public meeting.
[32:45] It's a special council meeting.
[32:48] It's going to be followed by another special council meeting.
[32:50] That's the way it has to be done legally speaking, where we're going to deposit
[32:54] notice of motions for the adoption of the bylaws that will apply for all the rates that we use in
[33:00] the budget for taxation purposes. So we invite you in large numbers on January 19th to be present
[33:08] to participate in our budget adoption meeting. And we invite you, of course, to ask questions
[33:15] if you'd like to get married, ask questions through the form of the city or write to the
[33:20] service du Grève.
[33:21] Là-dessus, je vous remercie énormément.
[33:23] Bonne journée.
