Les pompiers honorent un camarade décédé Les membres du Service des incendies de Hawkesbury et d’autres services d’incendie régionaux se réuniront à l’église St-Pierre Apôtre de Hawkesbury, ce samedi, lors d’un service commémoratif pour Gilles Joly, membre bénévole à la retraite du département du Service des incendies de Hawkesbury, décédé le 27 juillet.

Mayor Robert Kirby confirmed, during a phone interview Monday, that Rozon’s resignation followed upon a request from the township. He said the reason involved a disagreement over her handling of the accounting system for the township and fai- lure to implement a computerized accoun- ting program that the township purchased many years ago. «But it (accounting program) never got used,” Kirby said, “and it was not an expen- sive program.” Following a discussion between township officials and Rozon, the ex-CAO agreed to hand in her resignation. “It (accounts) was all pencil work and very hard to keep track of,” Kirby said. “She couldn’t handle what we wanted, and we couldn’t handle her situation.” Mayor Kirby confirmed that township got legal advice and assistance on the matter, which included an agreement fromRozon to correct some errors in the audited accounts before her departure. “Any financial irregularities have been
Linda Rozon n’est plus la directrice et trésorière de Hawkesbury Est. Elle a démissionné à la fin dumois de juin, à la suite d’une demande de lamunicipalité. La raison invoquée pour son départ est lemécontentement de lamunicipalité concernant sa gestion des comptes municipaux et son incapacité àmettre en place un système de comptabilité informatisé que la municipalité s’est procurée il y a plusieurs années. L’ancien trésorier du canton de Champlain à la retraite, Robert Lefebvre, a été embauché de façon intérimaire pour gérer les finances du canton jusqu’à ce queMme Rozon soit remplacée. —photo Gregg Chamberlain
