PART TWO: THE MUNICIPALITY

The exceptional allocation provided for in article L. 2563-2-2 is paid to the communes under the conditions set out in this sub-section.

Expenditure eligible for the grant includes: a) The payment of holiday allowances to agents responsible for listing buildings that do not correspond to any address, as well as to agents responsible for computer input of the data collected; b) The purchase of software required to set up the address directory; c) The acquisition and installation of numbering equipment.

The mayor draws up a certificate stating that the expenditure has been paid. This certificate is stamped by the commune’s accountant and then sent to the prefect, who pays the commune an amount of grant corresponding to half the justified expenditure.

At the end of each financial year, the Prefect draws up, for each municipality and on the basis of the information collected, an annualised balance sheet of all the operations carried out, which summarises the amount of the corresponding expenditure.
