General Management and Clerk’s Office

The Director General is the municipality’s chief civil servant. Under the authority of the municipal council, with whom he or she collaborates directly, he or she is responsible for the municipality’s administration.

To achieve this, with the help of the municipality’s other employees, he or she plans, organizes and directs the municipality’s activities. Some examples of the Director General’s responsibilities: contract management, human resources, communications, election presidency, emergency response coordination.

In Grenville-sur-la-Rouge, as in many small municipalities, the Director General is also the Clerk-Treasurer. In this capacity, he or she is responsible for ensuring that Council meetings are properly conducted, and for providing information and public notices as required by law. As treasurer, he or she is responsible for financial management and the keeping of the municipality’s accounting records.
