1. Background Information
In a local town meeting, negotiations took place between four local towns, the government representative, mayors and EuroMouse to discuss several issues regarding the towns’ concerns about the effects of EuroMouse on the community. The mayors from each town voiced the concerns of their citizens and reiterated the strain on their resources since the inception of the EuroMouse development. The mayors expressed concern about the government’s role in this project, since the towns were not invited to participate in the earlier planning meetings regarding the EuroMouse development. The government has agreed that the towns will be involved in future meetings. Fortunately, EuroMouse was very responsive to the towns’ concerns and are anxious to ensure the community support of EuroMouse.
With the government’s assistance, the parties successfully reached an agreement whereby EuroMouse will assess a business tax of 1% on the payroll of EuroMouse workers in the towns of Coupvray and Chessy. In addition, EuroMouse will make a voluntary payment of FF 5.5 million to the neighboring towns of Bailly and Magny. As a good faith gesture, the towns of Coupvray and Chessy will contribute FF 250,000 to Bailly and Magny, so that each of those towns will receive FF 3 million. One caveat to this gesture is that it is only in effect when the annual revenue to the towns of Chessy and Coupvray exceeds FF 11.25 million. All four towns were pleased with the outcome of this meeting, which will enable the local town offices to fill existing administrative needs, reduce property taxes and ensure the French traditions are preserved. We look forward to the success of EuroMouse!
