July 9 report from Municipality of Pontiac advisory committee / Comité aviseur de la municipalité de Pontiac


2012-07-09

Comité aviseur de la municipalité de Pontiac

Votre comité se réjouit du fait que, selon la dernière édition du Bulletin de Pontiac, certaines des préoccupations soulignées lors de la dernière réunion du Conseil municipal ont été adressés. Pour ceux qui étaient présents, vous vous rapellerez que la Municipalité n'accordait aucune priorité au développement immédiat d'une banque de données de courriels qui permettrait une meilleure communication avec ses citoyens. Cette banque de données a depuis été créée et annoncée dans le Bulletin. Votre adresse courriel peut maintenant être enregistrée au lien suivant: staubin.lucie@municipalitepontiac.com

Il s'agit d'une façon très efficace de recevoir des communiqués importants tels que la fermeture de chemins, des avis concernant la météo, des événements communautaires et autres communiqués importants en provenance du maire et des conseillers. Votre comités vous encourage donc à vous prévaloir de ces avantages électroniques et ainsi recevoir des informations pertinentes beaucoup plus rapidement. On vous encourage de communiquer cette nouvelles à vos voisins.

De plus, le Bulletin faisait état d'un nouveau processus pour faciliter le paiement de taxes en ligne. Pour ce faire, vous devrez inclure le numéros 82030 suivi de la lettre F ainsi que votre numéro de rôle de 10 chiffres (total de 16 caractères). C'était encore une fois une question soulevée par le comité lors de la dernière réunion du Conseil municipal.

Pour ce qui est du Comité aviseur de la Municipalité de Pontiac (CAMP), nous procédons à son incorporation.  Nous sommes également à mettre sur point un site web qui nous permettra de mieux communiquer avec vous. Nous encourageons la participation de tous les citoyens intéressés dans ce comité afin d'assurer une meilleure contribution publique dans la communauté. Donc, si vous connaissez des gens qui ne sont pas membres du comité mais qui aimeraient s'impliquer, demandez leur de prendre contact avec le CAMP à l'adresse courriel reliée à cet avis.

Tous sont encouragés à participer activement au réunions du Conseil municipal qui ont lieu le deuxième mardi de chaque mois.

En vous souhaitant un très bel été.
Barrie Marfleet

 

Municipality of Pontiac advisory committee

Your committee is please to learn via the summer edition of the Pontiac Bulletin that two of our concerns that were discussed at the last council meeting on June 12, 2012 have been addressed by council. For those in attendance, you will recall that the municipality did not have as a priority the immediate development of and email data base in order to better communicate with those wishing to receive communication from the township via email. This has now been delivered and announced in the Bulletin and your personal email address may now be sent to staubin.lucie@municipalitepontiac.com for registration.

This is an excellent vehicle to receive important notices quickly such as road closures, weather related issues, community events and other important announcements from your mayor and councilors. Your Advisory Committee strongly advises those of you that have email capability to take advantage of this electronic service. By connecting with the township electronically you will be able to receive information much quicker.  Please feel free to communicate this with your neighbours.
Also, the Bulletin detailed the process for paying your taxes online. You must include the numbers 82030 followed by the letter F, and then your roll number which is 10 digits. Total 16 spaces. This again was an issue raised from the floor at the last council meeting from your Advisory Committee.

Moving forward, the Municipality of Pontiac Advisory Committee (MPAC) is in the process of incorporating. We are also engaged in the development of a web site in order to communicate with you better so stay tuned. More announcements will follow in the months to come. Your continued participation and involvement in the Advisory Committee is needed to ensure public input in our community. If you know of someone who is not a member and would like to be more involved have them contact the Advisory Committee directly at the email where you received this notice.

You are encouraged to attend the municipal council meetings which are held every 2nd Tuesday of the month.
Have a great summer.
Barrie Marfleet, Co-chair
