City Council - Regular Meeting

Monsieur le maire, membres du conseil, si vous regardez vos objectifs du troisième trimestre 2026, vous verrez qu'ils sont plus nombreux à être ouverts après le budget. Pour ce qui est du centre de maintenance des parcs et loisirs, nous attendons toujours qu'Alabama Power vienne, je crois, installer l'électricité et la mettre en service. Jonathan Lucas m'a dit plus tôt aujourd'hui qu'il pense que ce sera terminé cette semaine. During the last meeting of the council, it was indicated next week, so we missed this deadline, but I think we are still in the general deadlines. I will therefore leave for your examination. Chief Moore is not present today. So I was asked to be patient and possibly discuss speed moderation options in residential districts in the fourth quarter. All the other points, the objectives of the third quarter that had to be reported, I moved them to the fourth quarter. Some of them escape our control. We talked about a contract for animal control. I know that the advisor Wells and I have a meeting on a subject. It's out of our control. It must be initiated by the county. So I brought it back. And even for the agreement with the First Baptist Church concerning parking in the city center. If you remember, we are considering concluding an agreement with them to use the space they have. They pay for the technical design, etc. And we don't have the parking lot, just like we did with the First Methodist and the First Baptist. In fact, we have concluded an agreement with them near the place where Dunaway Studios was located for this property. I think it's called the Terrain Connard. And then we also did something with a private owner on Easy Street for parking in the city center. So this agreement is very similar. It provides for a parking life of about 15 years with a bio pro-rata where the owner preserves his rights on the property. if for any reason they decide, say after 15 years, that the parking fee has cost 150.08 dollars. After the first year, if they decide that this agreement does not suit them, they must pay back 148 dollars to the city. So the amount is depreciated by 10.08 dollars per year. Let's see. One of the things that, in my opinion, falls short is our quarterly report on harmful properties. We had a little time in the order of the day, so I asked Tim and Jonathan Lucas if they wanted to use this time to make a report rather than report it to the council meeting. So I'm going to ask them to come and update you on harmful properties.

Good evening, Mr. Councilors. Nice to see you all tonight. We have a brief update on the decrepitude delineation program for the third quarter. I wanted to start by showing you where we are in terms of residential growth. Just as a reminder, the purple line you see on your screen was last year. And just as a reminder, last year was a record year in terms of residential growth. And you can see that at the end of August, we are exactly at the same level as last year. We are therefore waiting for a new record year for residential growth within the community. As for the decrepitude elimination program, to recap, it is the ordinance that declares all dangerous buildings as public damage. L'intention de cette ordonnance est de créer des communautés plus sûres et esthétiquement agréables grâce à la remise en état et à la démolition des bâtiments dangereux. Remise en état quand c'est approprié mais démolition quand c'est nécessaire. The objective of the decrepitude elimination program is to eliminate debauchery in the city of Enterprise and to ensure the structural stability and integrity of our residential, commercial and industrial buildings. Establish and cultivate a healthy relationship with the public. Those who invest in the community, we want to help them by keeping the community as beautiful as possible. So, a few figures here, but the difference between the second and third quarter is that of these units, which have been restored. You can see the difference where the initiative of the city went from 68 units to 61 and the category, restored, went from 61 to 68. You see some additions to the CDBG and this will be discussed in more detail during your council meeting tonight. So, just to recap what concerns harmful properties. Attenuated by private owners, you can see the numbers displayed. We always like to promote the fact that a private owner is ready to restore his own property, without the city intervening, to make it demolished or other, or to go through the CDBG. It's obviously a victory. But for the demolition initiative, you can see that the properties have increased by 11 since your last update in June, just like the total number of units treated. This means that it was in all cases of single-family residential units treated over the last three months. For the CDBG program, you can see that phases 1 and 2 were completed respectively in January and February of this year. Phase 3 includes six residential properties that have been submitted to the State and are currently being examined. As I mentioned, part of it will be examined by you at your municipal council. We will have additional information on this subject. Regarding phase 3 of the municipal initiative, I would like to give you an update on what has been demolished since your last update in June. Voici quelques preuves de tout ce qui a été réalisé. Cela s'est réellement déroulé au cours de la semaine dernière. Certaines de ses propriétés ont été démolies tout récemment au cours de la semaine dernière et certaines sont encore en cours de démolition à l'heure actuelle. Pour le 216 Pledger Street, vous pouvez voir qu'il s'agit à peu près du même angle sur les deux photos. Vous pouvez voir l'avant et l'après. 400 de Grimes Street à l'angle de Grimes et Ellis. Vous pouvez voir à quoi cela ressemble. And then, 609 Grand Pine Drive, near Rucker Boulevard, the front and the back. And it's just about to be finished, rather today. The 404 Chambers has not yet been demolished. We expect it to be demolished by the next two days, according to all odds. With a little luck, it will be demolished before the end of the week. We can't wait to present you a photo and case after that, during your next update on the Toadies. 516 Friendship, I checked on site about 30 minutes ago and they were destroying it. So I can't wait to show you the final result during your next update, but this building is being demolished right now. And finally, the 712 South Main, the addition of the wind. The station you see on the photo before it has already disappeared, the building itself, but there is only the wind left, which is on the list to be dismantled, and we hope that this will be done by the end of the week. We will have a picture afterwards for you to present. Regarding phase 1 of the municipal initiative, it is over. With the exception of the Sandixy apartments from 49 to 52. They have obtained an extension for these units, but we are working with the lawyer to make things move forward and we expect that it will be demolished soon. Phase 2 is very similar. It is largely over, with the exception of the 2011 colony, apartments 22 to 25, and we are also moving forward with the demolition of these apartments. For the third phase, 15 units have been identified and I have just mentioned the six that have been treated this week and we have others in phase 3 that depend on the CDBG in the context of this request. Then, for phase 4, we received resumption plans and you had approved the demolition of each of them last June. We received resumption plans that we are analyzing, but nevertheless, we are very close to ordering maintenance tests for all these units at the moment. And finally, phase 5. For phase 5, the list has been created. We have a fairly complete list for phase 5 and we can't wait to present it to you. We are simply waiting for the final approval before starting phase 5. So here is a very quick overview of the state of the program. I will answer all your questions for the moment.

How many are there in phase 5?

I don't know the exact number, but is it 30 or 40? It's quite...

I think it's in this order of magnitude. So we identified 30 to 40 properties. What we're going to do now is reduce this list and examine them individually. I'm going to put about 20 on the list. Thank you. Thank you all.

Thank you, the Council. Just for your information, the reason why we do this, if you remember, we initially had 132 properties on the list. These were properties for which, you know, we are not actively looking for new properties. These are properties for which we receive calls, for which you receive calls, and then we add them to the list, you know, and we investigate each one independently. At the beginning, we said, we want to do this as quickly as possible and treat as many properties as we can. but the real process to send an opinion to the owner depends on what the staff has to do on a daily basis. And given the deadlines, that's why we aim for this 20-by-10. It is a reasonable pace that we can maintain to ensure that everyone is guaranteed a regular procedure, while sending our control services, our building agents and our inspectors to check if Propriété constitue effectivement une nuisance publique. Nous recevons donc beaucoup plus d'appels, comme il l'a dit, entre 30 et 40, que ce que nous pouvons raisonnablement traiter. Et tous les cas pour lesquels nous sommes appelés ne nécessitent pas forcément une démolition. There are many options for attenuation. Sometimes, as you have seen, we have owners who are willing to put their goods to the standards once they have been informed. Some go to the plaza or do what is necessary to conform. I just wanted to give you an overview of the reason why these 30 to 40 files are now in the hands of the engineering department, so that they can examine them and check if they meet the list of damage criteria. You remember that there is a control list of about 16 points that must be filled to be considered as a damage property. This concludes our update of the third quarter.

Questions? Let's review the order of the day of tonight. Let's start with the call, the opening prayer, the sermon of allegiance, the approval of the order of the day, then the order of the day by consent. If you have a question on a point of the order of the day by consent, stop me as I go. Inflation of contracts for a amount of 856 dollars. Winconner & Associates, $600. For contractual administrative services for this CDBG 2024 demolition project. Ardura, $35.00. Contractual services for the extension of water installations. College Street, 41. For used water. Spectrum, $54.40. Contractual service for the relocation of the HFC nodes and the main lines. 50,000 dollars for... Contractual service for the Henderson Street project, Inc. 320 dollars for engineering services, phase 5 of refurbishment of the FUI 25 surface. 175 dollars. Service d'ingénierie pour le complexe récréatif polyvalent, phase 2. Donald Smith, 328,700 dollars, pour des services contractuels de puits d'irrigation. South East Construction, 65 dollars. Service contractuel pour la phase 5 de réfection des surfaces, FIGA 25. Et quelques demandes d'essai du service d'ingénierie et de la police. Des questions.

Qu'est-ce que le... The spectrum for the relocation of the HFC nodes and the main lines. What is it?

That's what I was going to say. Yes sir. This is part of the relocation project of the 606 departmental road. The public service movement was covered by this subsidy. This is the spectrum contract for the movement of their lines from the old road 606 to the new 606, to the new 606. And you said it was paid by the subsidy?

Yes, this subsidy, I think that's the case.

95% federal, 2.5% state, and the city covers 2.5%. Other questions?

Very well, we will then have a proclamation recognizing the month of the prevention of suicide. The word to the members. The personnel report. We do not have any current cases. In the new cases, we will examine Resolution 09x126 for the designation of dilapidated property and to authorize the use of the CDBG 2024 fund in order to demolish and clean the properties identified by the owners of said properties. We have voluntarily signed an access permit and a temporary service of demolition and cleaning for each property concerned. 109 Beverly Drive, 400 Erin Street, 101 Walden Street, 111 Lynn Street, 700 Howell Street, 206 Mill Avenue, 104 Maggie Street, 126 Nann Street. And then we will examine Resolution 09I-126A. Call to examine a resolution authorizing interim municipal operations and the necessary expenses in the expectation of the adoption of the budget for exercise 2027. And then we will present an hour. Approval of a modification order for the resurfacing work of phase 5 of exercise 2025 reflecting the final adjustments of the quantities of the project, the amount of the contract and the deadlines and authorizing the mayor to sign all necessary closure documents. This order reflects a decrease of 11,762 dollars to 1,764 dollars of the total amount of the contract, passing the contract of 1,267,589 dollars to 1,251 dollars. We have the report of the mayor and the comments of the members of the council. Comments or questions are at your disposal. And I helped you without making a mistake.

No, I didn't know if you wanted me to order this modification order. I can add some details.

This is of course the resurfacing project of phase 5. This is the closing file. Basically, what you have in your file.

The request concerns the approval of the modification order, which is the final modification order. Number 1. This is the only modification order we had on the project. And it reduces the total amount of the contract of 11 766 euros. So the approval of this modification order allows the final payment to the entrepreneur. There were $ 200,000 in reserve funds in this project and I just wanted to note that this amount was used for two things. The first was to pave the maintenance parking in the industrial park. It was part of the $ 200,000 and the rest, about $ 196,000, was used to pave the airport parking behind the leisure center. These are the two projects that the reserve has allowed to finance. The whole project is therefore released under the initial amount of the contract, which is a good thing.

Again, this is not the same thing as what you presented to us. There are some municipal councils about resurfacing for these two additional streets.

And I noted to mention the phase 6 that the Council granted during the last meeting. This project has been attributed. Obviously, we have sent the contracts to the entrepreneur, which is Wiregrass Construction. We are waiting for the return of these signed contracts, so it is in the execution phase. The next step will be the pre-construction conference, establish a service order and this is the project that we consider. We have also planned 200,000 of reserve funds, so we are perhaps planning to add these streets to this project. Phase 6, the order of service will probably be issued in 45 days. I imagine that the time to receive the signed contracts and to have a pre-meeting is generally in 30 to 45 days, approximately. It depends on the entrepreneur's calendar. But before that starts... Any other questions? Very well, we have a request to go to the executive session if we have nothing else. Very well. So, do we have a motion?

I propose that we move on to the executive session.

Seconded. Executive session for good morality and character.

um

We are very clear.

Another.

So it's really good for you too to share and it's an excellent... We appreciate your support.

That the verbal trial notes that all members of the council are present. Present. We will begin with our opening prayer and the sermon of allegiance. M. Glenn Morgan will lead us in prayer. Okay, let's pray. Lord, as we take a break tonight, we want to come to you, Lord, with a humble heart, Lord. And I pray openly. I pray, Lord, that you bless the course of this meeting. We thank you for your goodness, your mercy, your grace, your love. Thank you for this city. Thank you for this advice, Mr. Mayor. Lord, I pray that you bless them and all the service leaders. Lord, as we hold this meeting tonight, I pray that you give them the advice, the discernment and the wisdom necessary to make decisions according to your will and your voice. It is in your name that I pray.

I propose to approve the order of the day of the meeting as it has been submitted.

Any other discussion? All those in favor of Dittwig? All those against? Same sign. The motion is adopted. All points registered under the order of the day have been distributed to each member of the Council for examination and are considered routine, or must be adopted by a single motion to the Municipal Council without separate discussion. If a separate discussion is wanted on a point, this point can be removed from the order of the day and placed under the order of the day at the request of a member of the Municipal Council. I ask for a motion to approve the order of the day as presented. I propose to approve the order of the day as it has been presented. Other discussions? Those who are to be dismissed. Those who are not. Same sign. The motion is adopted. Mayor Cooper and Tammy Dorr, Director of Tourism and Community Relations, have a proclamation.

Tonight, we recognize the month of September. Like me, of suicide prevention in the city of Enterprise. I would like to invite the representatives of Spectre Care and Fort Trucker who join us tonight to move forward, as well as our Tourism and Community Relations Director, Tamie Dor. It is an important opportunity to remind our community that every life is precious and that no one should feel alone in the face of hardship. Sometimes, taking simply the time to notice someone, to approach him and to let him know that he is not alone can make a difference. Tami will now read the proclamation.

Considering that suicide is a serious public health problem affecting individuals, families, friends, workplaces, schools and communities across our nation, and that its impact affects people of all ages, horizons and circumstances. And considering that each life has value, being aware of suicide prevention helps reduce stigmatization, encourages significant conversations on mental health and emotional well-being, and reminds those who struggle that they are not alone. And considering that recognizing the signs before running, reaching out to those who can experience emotional distress and orient individuals towards appropriate support and resources can help save lives. And since families, friends, educators, health professionals, first aid, religious communities, associations of former fighters, civic groups and members of the community all play an important role in creating a culture of compassion, understanding and support, and waited that the month of suicide prevention is the opportunity to remember those whose lives have been lost because of suicide, to offer support and compassion to those who have suffered such a loss, and to stand by those who continue to face mental health problems. and waiting for the city of Enterprise to encourage its citizens to watch over each other, to speak openly and with compassion, to ask for mental health help if necessary, and to remind those who are in trouble that hope and help are always available.

As a result, I, William E. Cooper, Senior Mayor of the city of Enterprise in Alabama, proclaim, by the present September of 2026, like me, the prevention of suicide in the city of Enterprise and encourage all citizens to join us to promote awareness, compassion, the link and hope within our community. and to contribute to create an environment in which each person knows that their life matters and that no one has to face alone the most difficult moments of life. So, I'm signing this September 15th. And of course, signed William E. Cooper, Senior Mayor of the city of Enterprise, Alabama.

Present yourself right here.

And shake your hand, then we'll take a picture.

We move it a little bit.

Thank you.

I just wanted to thank you all for allowing us to be here to talk about this important subject and to raise awareness about suicide prevention. Suicide affects each community, each person, and it's a very, very important subject. And what I want to leave you with in mind is that if you suffer, you don't have to suffer alone. There are resources and aid available. Please contact us. Don't wear this headscarf alone. There are the 950 measures. There are crisis centers. Each community has community mental health services as well as other resources in each locality. So please ask for help if you can. Once again, my name is Kristen Johns. I work for Spectra Care Health Systems. And I will let the people who accompany me introduce themselves as well.

Good evening, my name is Vernon Johnson. I am the coordinator of suicide prevention for Fort Rucker. I can tell you that we are aggressively attacking this situation. We are really trying to reach the deep causes of what is happening in individuals. We are also examining the fact that prevention is very important to solve this situation and I am currently a training that pushes us to deepen the way we can prevent suicide. en étudiant, par exemple, les besoins de la communauté. Je vous remercie donc tous d'être venus. S'il vous plaît, restons tous unis pour faire face à cette situation qu'est le suicide.

Brent Awin, for recurrence of substance abuse. I work hand in hand with Vernon. Sometimes, suicide implies a substance abuse, statistically, in about 1 out of 3 cases. That's why he and I work hand in hand to fight it.

Je m'appelle Jessica Awin, je suis thérapeute diplômée et je suis aussi, je suis un peu nerveuse, présidente du Mind Warrior Wellness Collective. Nous sommes une organisation à but non lucratif que nous avons créé en parallèle de notre entreprise. Nous travaillons avec nos militaires, nos anciens combattants, nos premiers intervenants et leurs familles. Et nous comprenons les difficultés auxquelles chacun est confronté. Si vous n'avez jamais eu ces pensées vous-même, je vous promets que vous connaissez quelqu'un qui en a eu. La meilleure façon de lutter contre cela est d'en parler, de faire connaître le sujet et d'offrir aux gens des espaces sûrs pour libérer leurs sentiments. Merci de nous avoir permis d'être ici aujourd'hui.

Merci à tous pour votre travail sur ce sujet très important. C'est l'heure de la parole au public. C'est le moment de la réunion où toute personne présente ce soir souhaitant s'adresser au Conseil peut le faire pendant 3 minutes. S'il y a une audience publique à l'ordre du jour concernant le sujet qui vous préoccupe, veuillez attendre l'ouverture de cette audience pour vous adresser au Conseil. S'il le souhaite, le personnel, le maire et le Conseil répondront à vos commentaires au moment prévu plus tard dans la réunion. Les commentaires répétitifs, perturbateurs ou dénigrants ne seront pas tolérés.

Si vous ne respectez pas les règles, vos privilèges pourront être et seront révoqués.

Quelqu'un souhaite-t-il s'adresser au Conseil en ce moment ? No one is manifesting, we move on to the personnel report. Are there any personnel reports? Very well, we don't have a case in progress, so we move on to the new cases. Present and put in deliberation Resolution 09-126. A resolution aiming to designate degraded properties and to authorize the use of the CDBG-2024 funds to demolish and clean the degraded properties identified by the owners of said properties, having voluntarily signed an access permit and a temporary service of demolition and cleaning on each respective property. 109 Beverly Drive, 400 Arwen Street, 101 Welding Street, 111 Larkin Street, 700 Howell Street, 206 Mill Avenue, 104 Maggie Street, 126 Nem Street. I have a motion. I propose to approve Resolution 09256, a resolution designating unsalubrious properties and authorizing the use of the CDBG-2024 funds to demolish and clean the identified properties, the owners having voluntarily signed an access permit and a temporary demolition service on each land. Any other discussion? All those in favor say yes. All those against, even if the motion is adopted. The resolution 091-126A, a resolution authorizing interim municipal operations and the necessary expenses in anticipation of the adoption of the budget for exercise 2027, is presented and deliberated.

I propose to approve Resolution 091 and 126A, authorizing interim municipal operations and the necessary expenses, while waiting for the adoption of the budget for exercise 2027.

Present and put in deliberation the order of modification number 1 for phase 5 of resurfacing 2025, reflecting the final adjustments, the amount and the duration of the contract, and authorizing the mayor to sign the closing documents. The order of modification number 1 reflects a decrease of $1,776 on the overall amount of the contract, passing the contract from $1,267.59 to $1,255.

Je propose d'approuver l'ordre de modification numéro 1 pour le projet de resurfacage 2025, phase 5 tel que présenté, et d'autoriser le maire à signer les documents de clôture du projet.

D'autres discussions ? Tous ceux qui sont pour disent pourrie. Tous ceux qui sont pour signent. La motion est d'accord. Monsieur le maire.

Merci, Monsieur le Président. Depuis notre dernière réunion, beaucoup de choses se sont passées dans notre communauté et je veux prendre quelques minutes pour souligner ce travail. Nous avons récemment tenu notre session de travail budgétaire alors que nous préparons l'année à venir. Je tiens à remercier notre conseil, les chefs de service et le personnel municipal pour le travail accompli. Nous nous engageons à être de bons gestionnaires, des ressources qui nous sont confiées et à continuer d'investir pour les besoins de notre communauté. La semaine dernière, nous nous sommes également réunis pour notre cérémonie patriotique au mur de la liberté. 25 ans après le 11 septembre, c'était une occasion significative de se souvenir des disparus et de rendre hommage aux hommes et femmes qui continuent de servir et protéger notre communauté. Next week is also the national week of the CRT and I would like to acknowledge our community team of emergency intervention of the county of Coffy and all our first stakeholders for the important work they do. They are there when our community needs them and we are grateful for their service and dedication. We will continue to see progress on our infrastructure and community projects along Bearwood Road, Mayhem. A new sidewalk has been laid and work is in progress at Johnny's Park, Henderson Family Park. Progress is also being made on the new gaming equipment. These are investments that will benefit our community for the years to come. This week, we will also celebrate our local businesses during the Enterprise Chamber Banquet. Nos entreprises sont l'épine dorsale de notre économie locale et j'ai hâte de me joindre à notre communauté pour saluer ceux qui travaillent dur chaque jour, pour faire d'Enterprise un endroit où il fait bon vivre, travailler et faire des affaires. Il se passe toujours quelque chose à Enterprise et je suis fier des gens qui continuent à travailler ensemble pour améliorer notre ville. Merci à nos employés municipaux, à notre conseil, à nos entreprises, à nos organisations communautaires et à nos résidents pour tout ce que vous faites. Merci d'être présents ce soir. Que Dieu vous bénisse chacun et qu'il continue de bénir la ville d'Enterprise.

The SpectraCare team has left, but I certainly want to recognize them and thank them for everything they do to raise awareness and continuously educate on the subject of suicide. I am very enthusiastic about all our investments and the constant progress mentioned by the Mayor in his report Je tiens tout particulièrement à dire, depuis cet espace, que j'ai contacté Mec, Schwarz et quelques autres pour les remercier du travail acharné qu'ils ont accompli pour préparer notre budget, toujours en cours. Beaucoup de travail a été investi là-dedans. J'aurais aimé que plus de gens soient présents à cette session de travail. J'ai été très impressionnée par vous, chefs de service. Certain of you, to whom I had the opportunity to say it during their presentation, have done a great job with such a concern for detail to ensure that we have solid information in order to make decisions for our future. Anyone can present themselves in front of you and say anything, and you know, it's never fair. But these men and women took the time to gather data to make sense of what they were telling us. This was very appreciated, Chief of Staff, and thank you for your hard work.

Yes, I would like to support what Councilor Rich said about the budget. We are starting a new cycle. It is always difficult to make decisions. on the heads of services and the different groups within the city. But I can assure you that they are doing their best to use the money of the contributors who have been entrusted to us and make it as fruitful as possible. There is always a list of needs and desires longer than the finances available, but congratulations to those who make judicial decisions and manage the funds of the city.

And I agree, it's not an easy task. And thank you, Yann and your staff, for providing us with this big file. It really helped us, especially with the anchors. But yes, we absolutely want to be good managers, money from the contributors. So we have to make cuts in certain areas. You know, it's not like we decided that lightly. We really devoted a lot of thought and work. Merci beaucoup à tous ceux qui sont venus ce soir. Merci à tous nos citoyens qui ont regardé en ligne. Et merci à notre service de prévention du suicide. Quand j'étais dans l'armée, je faisais partie de ces gens qui faisaient ce genre de travail. C'est donc une affaire très sérieuse. Et merci à tous nos premiers intervenants. Merci pour tout ce que vous faites chaque jour. Que Dieu vous bénisse.

Yes, I agree with what has been said about the budget. It is a lot of work to examine this information, to contact the service managers, to talk to them, to obtain additional feedback and to ensure that we show diligence in the use of funds. And I would like us to have more money to distribute. But you know, we have to be good managers of what we have. A year ago, on the 16th of September, so a year ago tomorrow, I made an oath here for my first term. And it's been a year since I've been in this position. I've learned a lot, asked a lot of questions, as some of you may know, made a few mistakes, as some of you may know. But it was great. I'll just say that this last year has been wonderful. The staff who work every day for the city is simply incomparable. They are great people. They have the heart to serve. They have the heart to do what's best for Enterprise. So I liked working with them. This advice was great. Scotty brings me candy to almost every meeting of the council and it improves my mood and everything else. It's wonderful. So Greg was great. Sonia, wonderful. And Casey, he's good, I suppose. I really loved working with them. Mr. Mayor, I can't boast enough of your leadership and how great it is to be able to sit here with you, Mr. Mayor. So this last year, I really appreciated it. And to quote Kobe Bryant, when he was asked if he was satisfied with all the progress made during the championship, he simply said, man, the work is not over. So to quote him, the work is not over. So I can't wait to talk about the next three years.

Merci à tous d'être venus ce soir.

La séance est levée jusqu'à mardi 6 octobre, à 17h pour la session de travail.
