- Modificación presupuestaria N°13 (Salud) aprobada por unanimidad.
- Modificación presupuestaria N°14 (Municipal) aprobada por unanimidad.

Plata y obras

- Contrato alimentación escolar: Licitación pública para salidas pedagógicas año escolar 2026; no se menciona monto adjudicado.
- Ruta H-40: El contrato global vigente vence aproximadamente en junio de 2027; se plantea solicitar a Vialidad/MOP incluir sendas multipropósito (peatones y ciclistas) en el próximo proceso licitatorio.
Puntos de debate o controversia
- Ruta H-40 — rotura ilegal: Una zanja abierta para cruzar cañería en el sector de la cuarta escuela fue rellenada con piedras sin permiso. Según Vialidad (consultada previamente), fue una intervención no autorizada en su faja; se anunciaron acciones con Policía de Caminos.
- Canal en Pasaje Los Guindos (Olivar Bajo): Canal con malezas y basura que estuvo a punto de desbordarse en lluvias anteriores; hay disputa sobre quién debe limpiarlo (Canalistas vs. municipio).
- Actas en papel vs. digital: El concejal Carlos Castillo planteó reemplazar la entrega impresa por correo electrónico. La secretaria del concejo indicó que el reglamento actual no lo contempla, pero que podría incorporarse en una próxima revisión reglamentaria.
Para seguir
- Asesoría fiscal debe gestionar con Vialidad la situación de la zanja en Ruta H-40 y revisar el estado de soleras en la ciclovía.
- Municipio enviará oficio a Vialidad/MOP para solicitar inclusión de sendas multipropósito en el nuevo contrato de Ruta H-40.
- Inspector municipal debe verificar responsabilidades en la limpieza del canal en Pasaje Los Guindos y notificar a quien corresponda.
- Secretaría del concejo evaluará modificación al reglamento para permitir entrega digital de actas.
- Consejal Eduardo Cáceres quedó pendiente de enviar fotografías del acceso a camino a termas (nombre del funcionario receptor no queda claro en la transcripción).

Population trend
How it has changedSource: Official INE series 2002–2026 (2017 base).
See the full trajectory to 2050 →INE projects comuna population only through 2035; the 2050 values are an own estimate by the monitor, anchored to the official INE 2050 national total (21,626,079 inhab, 32.1% aged 60+). Not an official comuna figure.

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 184 students registered for the PAES.

Foreign-born populationSource: 2024 Census · INE
International immigrants per the 2024 Census (people born outside Chile living in the comuna). Nationwide they are 1,608,650 people, 8.8% of the population.
Housing and housing deficitSource: MINVU (Encampment Registry + 2024 Census deficit + subsidies) · INE
Encampments: MINVU National Registry 2024 (irregular settlements and the families living in them). Quantitative deficit: homes missing per the 2024 Census (doubling-up + unrecoverable overcrowding). Permits: new homes authorized by the Works Directorate in 2024 (INE) — measures future construction, not stock. Subsidies: MINVU by application comuna — DS49 accrues beneficiaries by resolution year; DS01 and DS52 accrue payments by application cohort (national totals in the source file differ ~1–6% from the comuna sum; the comuna series is published).

Roads and motorwaysSource: OpenStreetMap · 2026 snapshot
Road infrastructure of the MOP and concession holders, not the municipality: it measures how much highway crosses the territory, not municipal management. Only comunas with roads of this category are counted.
Environment and air qualitySource: MMA · SINCA + PPDA + RETC
No air monitoring station (SINCA) in the comuna.
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.
Biodiversity and protected areasSource: SNASPE · SEIA baselines
Species of flora, fauna and funga documented in the baselines of the projects evaluated by SEIA in the comuna — what their environmental studies recorded in the territory. Conservation status (RCE/IUCN) and Chilean endemism are flagged.
CR critically endangered · EN endangered · VU vulnerable · NT near threatened (Species Classification Regulation / IUCN). ★ endemic to Chile. Extracted from SEIA studies by kingdom; presence reflects what baselines characterized, not a census.

Area = hectares of wetland within the comuna boundary (apportioned using the DPA table of each record). For wetlands shared between comunas, "portion / total" is shown. "Urban" = urban wetland (HUR code). Official source migrated to the SBAP (Law 21,600).
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. 14 projects totaling US$ 49 million, approved between 1997 and 2025. 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.
Basic utilitiesSource: SISS · CNE · MINEDUC
Almost no comuna has its own utility: it is served by a major regional concession holder. Water = urban operational territory (SISS; rural goes via APR); electric = concession distributor per the tariff decree (CNE); higher education = university, IP and CFT campuses (MINEDUC/SIES), with the nearest comuna when there are none.

Crashes georeferenced by CONASET (urban + highway) during 2024. The only per-comuna source; covers ~70% of the country's deaths (non-geolocatable ones are excluded), so it slightly underestimates the total. Pedestrian collision is the leading cause of pedestrian death.
