6 – WESTMOUNT INDEPENDENT – November 24-25, 2009 Budget planned for year end continued from p.1 “Note the debt incurred before 2002 [’s merger with Montreal], which includes the debt related to the library [refurbishing project] has been completely reimbursed,” he said. “The only positive statement I can make is that we have been extremely fortunate with the interest rates that are being charged for our long-term borrowing thus far, which are in the range of 4.5 percent.” Westmount will take “the measures necessary to ensure its contested claim of $21.9 million against Montreal over demerger costs is returned as quickly as possible,” Trent said. While the completion of the 2010 budget is contingent on knowing the city’s agglomeration apportionment, the city hopes to be able to adopt the budget by the end of December. Year-end results for 2008 confirmed a net operating surplus of $672,804 after expenditures and appropriations of $40.8 million. Reporting on the remuneration of council members for 2009 as set by the old council, Trent listed the mayor’s salary as $43,934 per year plus $14,584 in expense allowance and $10,160 as a member of the agglomeration council. The salary of each councillor is $14,645 plus $7,322 of expense allowance. “The new council will be reviewing these amounts,” Trent said.

This 1895 house at 12 Aberdeen Ave. won the public’s heart in “La Maison coup de coeur” popular vote among five finalists in the 2009 Architectural Heritage Campaign (Opération Patrimoine Architectural de Montréal) of the city of Montreal. This is the first time a Westmount house has made it to the finals in the competition “and the first time we won,” said Councillor Cynthia Lulham at the city council meeting November 16. The city began submitting entries to the competition in 2002 when it was a borough of Montreal. The house is one of many acclaimed homes and public buildings – including city hall and the library – designed by Westmount architect Robert Findlay. It was recently restored by its owners, Anna-Maria Griffin and her husband, Richard Pinchuk, and was one of 22 houses on Montreal island pre-chosen by a jury to win Heritage Emeritus Awards in this year’s architectural competition. Apartment building also wins A second submission from Westmount carried off one of eight heritage awards in the commercial category. The apartment building at 357-361 Victoria Ave., beside the Metro parking lot, has been carefully preserved by owner Letizia Randaccio, according to the award citation. It includes two storefronts: Vie de Campagne and Café Crème. Every year, Westmount submits the name of restoration projects to the competition that “reflect the defining character of the building,” explained city Urban Planning director Joanne Poirier. These are selected by a jury of urban planning directors to advance in the competition. SWAT continued from p.2 brain cancer but nevertheless proceeded to organize numerous fundraisers for the two hospitals so that other children would benefit from improving medical care. His father Nicolas is a major tournament contributor, together with his mother Martha and his brother Christian. Eight adult teams will vie for the principal trophy, but Termite-level players will also compete for one of their own. A silent auction will be conducted from December 4 to December 6 at 11 am at the arena (under the auspices of head auctioneer Claude Bismuth) at which participants will be able to place their bids on various items, including cosmetic gift baskets, winter outerwear, golf rounds, women’s apparel, and live and recorded music.
