HOUSES OF BOUNDARIES ITEM No. 13 of the Municipal Council of 22 May 2007
WITHDRAWAL of the ASSOCIATION OF HOMES OF BOUNDARIES
Speech by Jean-Marie VIROT "NEAR YOU"
The town of Avon has not paid its membership fee to the Association of Homes Boundaries for 3 years. It is 17 738 euros
Avon is yet a founding member of the association.
For reasons that still remain obscure, Avon had requested the establishment of a Tree House, has not signed the contract in February 2001 that actait Territory and allowed to subsidize this creation. 3 years, the contributions remain unpaid for reasons of "progressive" was first told that it should have been the purview of the CCFA (jurisdiction delegated environment) and then, having decided to commit Fontainebleau alone (without by CCFA), adherence to the association of Avon would have been motivated by the support of the creation of a national park in the forest of Fontainebleau. As this will not happen, Avon wants to resign. This is the official reason advanced today. Since 1999, the reaction was slow. In fact, the motivations are purely political, the mayor suspected all education associations to be transmission belts for the left! Absurd because the 24 municipalities, only four are held by the left.
By letter dated February 6, 2007, unless the matter has been discussed in city council, the mayor formally announced his resignation, which must be confirmed by a vote in the City Council to be effective and legal.
In this letter, the mayor announced the creation of a House Tree in Avon by bidding "on the perimeter of the flagship station of Avon" so that it is not part of the project voted in City Council (Item 14 of the Municipal Council March 27, 2007).
A tree house, alone, has little meaning if it is a kind of "museum" extra, since houses are themed real possibility of financial balance that network, supported by a strong environmental education and structured like the House of Demarcation Project. (For example, revenue from the animation are AMBFF past three years from 3000 € to nearly € 90 000, faster than predicted by the financial review that led to the signing of the Contract Territory). On a
Generally speaking, the draft of the Houses of Demarcation is the first networking of forces for a common sustainable development, based on leisure travel, sport and environment around the forest of Fontainebleau, and therefore the production of equipment ad-hoc, the existence of a single leadership team and a common philosophy of education to the environment, centered around a "Country of Fontainebleau." It's very
understood Fontainebleau launches study on the creation of the Maison de la Faune Sauvage. Recall that it was intended
6 houses: Insects (conducted in Ponthierry) Water and Forest of Fontainebleau (conducted, common in Champagne, Héricy, Samois, Thomery Veneux, Vulaines), sandstone (Appendix performed Ury and probably soon to Nemours), Wildlife (to be completed at Fontainebleau), Birds ( to perform at La Rochette) and Tree (which should have been brought by Avon but it has not signed the contract with the Territory Region).
It is regrettable that Avon take the decision to engage only in an adventure that you do not really see the purpose, especially since the Region will fund a new Contract of Territory in which could well register is creating this House.
Furthermore, after creating a special diploma facilitator Nature Recreation Bac + 2 level by the University of Paris VII (founding member, plant biology lab), the Houses of Demarcation created ex nihilo 14 permanent jobs that sustain 12 families, some on Avon.
Given the above analysis, we condemn the decision of the municipality that we do not understand, especially if the House of Wildlife takes place at Fontainebleau! The network will continue without Avon. It's very bad for the image of Avon, and employment, then we have funded, with no result and much more expensive, structures or intermunicipal travel in Asia that have never reported, except spending and greenhouse gas emissions.
