Sesiones

Última sesión18 de junio de 2026116 minWatch session

En una línea: El concejo aprobó por unanimidad una modificación presupuestaria de nueve ítems, el contrato directo para terminar el Jardín Infantil Nuevita de Algodón y una patente complementaria de salón de música en vivo, con debate intenso sobre seguridad laboral, ruido nocturno y desalojos.

Temas tratados

  • Actas anteriores: Aprobación de las actas de las sesiones ordinarias N°1 (07/01/2026) y N°2 (21/01/2026).
  • Modificación presupuestaria (Anexo N°19): Nueve ajustes presupuestarios que cubren desde el pago de una sentencia judicial hasta equipamiento computacional y vehículos del ADIMAO.
  • Jardín Infantil Nuevita de Algodón: Contrato directo para terminar el 15% restante de la obra, paralizada desde mayo de 2025 por incumplimiento de la empresa anterior.
  • Patente de alcohol: Solicitud de giro complementario de salón de música en vivo para un restaurante en Avenida Chile N°504.
  • Puntos varios: Situación de desalojos, problemas en plaza de Barrancas, estadio municipal, folklore y salud.

Acuerdos y votaciones

  • Modificación presupuestaria Anexo N°19: Aprobada por unanimidad (7 votos).
  • Trato directo Jardín Infantil Nuevita de Algodón ($51.634.472, IVA incluido): Aprobado por unanimidad (7 votos).
  • Patente complementaria salón de música en vivo (Catering Isla Estrella Jerez Bustos SpA): Aprobada por unanimidad (7 votos), pese a rechazo vecinal.

Plata y obras

  • $30.000.000 para pago de transacción judicial por muerte de trabajador que podaba palmeras (empresa contratista desaparecida; el municipio asume su parte como mandante).
  • $1.500.000 para implementos de la Fiesta de San Pedro.
  • $5.000.000 para derechos notariales y conservador de bienes raíces.
  • $18.200.000 y $10.313.000 para contratación de personal en servicios comunitarios (ADIMAO y deporte, respectivamente).

  • Jardín Infantil Nuevita de Algodón: $51.634.472 totales (aporte municipal ~$29M + JUNJI ~$22M); plazo 120 días corridos; término estimado diciembre 2026.
  • Expropiación de terreno en San Juan (17.463 m², $86.000.000): concejales señalaron que la administración anterior no impugnó el monto y el municipio habría podido obtener más.

Puntos de debate o controversia

  • Muerte del trabajador: Concejala Contreras preguntó si se repetirá acción contra la empresa de paisajismo; la directora jurídica explicó que la empresa no ha aparecido en el juicio y la acción de repetición es jurídicamente compleja. También se mencionaron posibles sumarios a funcionarios municipales.
  • Patente de música en vivo: La Junta de Vecinos N°27 votó 49 en contra y 1 a favor; concejales advirtieron que patentes con infracciones de ruido podrían no renovarse en junio.
  • Dirección SECPLA: Concejala Contreras expresó preocupación por las reiteradas ausencias del director por licencias médicas, señalando que proyectos clave han avanzado sin conducción directiva.
  • Desalojos: Concejala Contreras y Concejal Barra denunciaron que no hubo coordinación municipal para asistir a familias desalojadas; se menciona un nuevo desalojo el 30 de junio.

Para seguir

  • Comisión especial (o sesión extraordinaria antes del 24/06) para revisar renovación de patentes de alcohol con antecedentes de infracciones.
  • Presentación formal al concejo de los antecedentes de la transacción judicial de $30M para su aprobación definitiva.
  • Borrador de ordenanza de murales urbanos pendiente desde dirección jurídica/ADIMAO.
  • Comisión de salud convocada por el presidente para abordar situación financiera del sistema de salud primario.

The PAES year is that of the admission process: the test is sat in November of the previous year. The average covers only those who registered to apply to university —not every secondary-school graduate— and groups them by the comuna of the school they graduated from, not by where the student lives. Here it rests on 1.421 students registered for the PAES.

Environment and air qualitySource: MMA · SINCA + PPDA + RETC

No air monitoring station (SINCA) in the comuna.

Air emissions from industrial sources · tons/year (RETC 2020)
0 t MP10

Air quality observed at MMA's SINCA stations within the comuna (2020); when there are several, the worst is shown. The scale compares the annual average with the WHO 2021 guideline (PM2.5 = 5 · PM10 = 15 µg/m³, international health reference) and the Chilean annual primary standard (PM2.5 = 20 · PM10 = 50 µg/m³): green within the WHO guideline, amber between guideline and standard, red above the national standard. "Days above standard" use the 24-h daily standard (PM2.5 = 50 · PM10 = 150 µg/m³). RETC emissions = declared point sources (industry/energy), excludes diffuse sources like residential firewood.

Large projects approved by SEIASource: SEIA · approved projects

Projects with an environmental permit (RCA) approved by SEIA and declared investment above US$ 10 million, located in the comuna according to the case file and grouped by sector. Every sector with at least one project is listed: this is not a ranking or a selection. 30 projects totaling US$ 3.226 million, approved between 1998 and 2026. When a project spans several comunas, its investment is split among them.

Approved is not the same as built or operating: the RCA authorises the project, but some were never carried out and others have since closed.

Source: projects with an RCA approved by SEIA (investment declared by the developer, split among the comunas the project spans). Under each sector are its two largest projects by investment. It is the best public proxy for large industrial sites; SERNAGEOMIN’s registry of active mining operations (by mineral and type of operation) is a layer not yet incorporated.
