COMMUNE DE SALINS-LES-BAINS

What COMMUNE DE SALINS-LES-BAINS does

COMMUNE DE SALINS-LES-BAINS is a French municipal government entity (commune) located in the Jura department of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, governed by Mayor Mikael Yanardag and an elected municipal council. It serves the residents of Salins-les-Bains through a full range of public services including administrative procedures (civil status, identity documents, passports, elections, urban planning), education (from maternal through secondary levels), social solidarity via the CCAS, public safety through the Police Municipale, cultural and sports facilities, and waste management. The commune employs 17 core municipal staff across its various departments.

The entity operates three principal commercial-adjacent subsidiaries: La Grande Saline, a UNESCO World Heritage Site (inscribed 2009) showcasing 1,200+ years of salt production history with 165-meter underground medieval galleries that attracts approximately 70,000 tourists annually; ThermaSalina, a modern thermal spa opened in 2020 using naturally salted spring waters; and the Régie Municipale d'Electricité, a wholly-owned municipal electricity utility (EPIC) serving 2,500 clients across 92 km of distribution network under Director Philippe Lamard.

Revenue is derived from local taxation (property and business taxes), intercommunal and departmental grants, municipal service fees (waste collection via SICTOM, water/sanitation, electricity distribution and supply through the Régie), and tourism receipts from La Grande Saline and ThermaSalina. Distribution occurs directly to citizens through the Hôtel de Ville and dedicated facilities, with marketing conducted via the official municipal website, a quarterly bulletin ('Echo de Salins'), and Facebook/Instagram channels. The commune participates in the Communauté de Communes Cœur du Jura intercommunal structure for shared competencies and partners with Fédération Léo Lagrange (youth services) and UCAS (local commerce).
