The vote will not take place until March.
But for Rennes' elected officials, the preparation of the 2023 budget is proving to be a high-flying exercise this year.
With energy prices soaring and inflation continuing to rise, all communities are seeing their expenses skyrocket.
What seriously impact their budget which looks obviously tight this year.
In this context, some mayors are preparing to take unpopular decisions such as increasing local taxation.
According to an Ifop poll, 24% of city councilors were planning to increase taxes in their municipality at the end of last year.
This will not be the case in Rennes where the mayor Nathalie Appéré unveiled this Monday evening her first arbitrations on the occasion of the presentation of the report on budgetary orientations in the municipal council.
"We studied this idea but we abandoned it so as not to weaken households even more," said the elected socialist.
Some projects scaled back
Nathalie Appéré does not intend to revise the investment program downwards either, even if certain projects will be revised downwards or will take a little longer to materialize.
To get into the budget nails, the city is therefore preparing to tighten its belt.
This requires an energy sobriety plan, presented in October, to reduce the bill.
But that won't be enough to balance the books.
To do this, the Breton capital has therefore decided to deteriorate its financial situation by extending its debt reduction capacity.
“We were at 6.9 years old and we will go to around 10 years old, said the elected official.
We now have a very healthy financial situation that allows us to do so.
