Sesiones

Última sesión113 minWatch session

Temas tratados

  • Acta sesión anterior (N°55): Lectura y ratificación de acuerdos previos, incluyendo modificaciones presupuestarias de salud, comodatos y subvenciones.
  • Convenio Pladeco – Universidad del Bío-Bío: Contrato por $18 millones para elaborar el Plan de Desarrollo Comunal.
  • Audiencia Club de Cueca "Vientos de Mi Tierra": Solicitud de audiencia del presidente Germán Cifuentes, aprobada para la sesión del 22 de junio.
  • Licitación Dirección de Seguridad Pública y televigilancia: Propuesta de adjudicación a Constructora Langer y Maquinaria SPA por $184,5 millones.
  • Cuenta alcaldesa: Informe de gestiones en turismo, obras menores y respuestas a solicitudes de concejales.
  • Puntos varios: Proyecto solar Manquil, cobro de transporte eléctrico, ordenamiento vial y señalética turística.

Acuerdos y votaciones

  • Convenio Pladeco con U. del Bío-Bío: Aprobado por unanimidad (7-0).
  • Audiencia Club de Cueca: Aprobada por unanimidad (7-0).
  • Adjudicación licitación seguridad pública/televigilancia: Aprobada por unanimidad (7-0) a Constructora Langer y Maquinaria SPA.
  • Cambio de hora sesión del 1 de julio: Aprobado por unanimidad (7-0); se adelanta a las 9:00 hrs para recibir al gobernador en la tarde.

Plata y obras

  • Licitación Dirección de Seguridad Pública y televigilancia: $184.569.340, plazo de ejecución 150 días corridos. Incluye construcción de 126 m², red de fibra óptica, equipos de monitoreo y generador de emergencia. Ambos oferentes comprometieron 70% de mano de obra local.
  • Convenio Pladeco: $18.000.000 pagados por la municipalidad a la Universidad del Bío-Bío.
  • Modificación presupuestaria salud N°3 (sesión anterior): $330.946.000 por mayores ingresos de programas de reforzamiento a atención primaria.
  • Modificación presupuestaria salud N°4 (sesión anterior): $5.500.000 para suplementar cuentas de gasto.
  • Subvención Comité de Vivienda Bicentenario (sesión anterior): $5.500.000 para estudios de mecánica de suelos.
  • Subvención Junta de Vecinos Abanico (sesión anterior): $2.628.610, redirigida desde un evento costumbrista hacia equipamiento de sede social.

Puntos de debate o controversia

  • Cobro de transporte eléctrico: La SEC derivó la consulta a la Comisión Nacional de Energía (CNE), sin resolución aún. Vecinos y municipio sostienen que el cargo no corresponde dado que la comuna se abastecería directamente desde la central Abanico. Un concejal advirtió que el oficio menciona erróneamente "central Antuco" en vez de "central Abanico", lo que podría debilitar el reclamo.
  • Proyecto solar Manquil: El concejal Diego Ovalle planteó que los compromisos voluntarios de la empresa son insuficientes: sin indicadores de empleo local, riesgos por supresor de polvo en aguas subterráneas, peligro de incendio con baterías de litio y falta de comunicación fluida con la comunidad. Convocó a reunión vecinal al día siguiente.
  • Ordenamiento vial: Vecinos reclaman por estacionamientos en calles aledañas a Los Carreras. La alcaldesa indicó que se requiere participación del Ministerio de Transportes para una solución definitiva.

Para seguir

  • Respuesta de la CNE sobre cobro de transporte eléctrico (sin plazo definido).
  • Licitación de estudio vial con participación del Ministerio de Transportes (pendiente respuesta ministerial).
  • Firma del convenio marco con U. del Bío-Bío (en trámite en Santiago).
  • Sesión del 1 de julio adelantada a las 9:00 hrs; visita del gobernador en la tarde para firma de convenios pendientes.
  • Audiencia del Club de Cueca "Vientos de Mi Tierra" en sesión del 22 de junio.
  • Licitación de mantenimiento de vehículos municipales: no adjudicada aún.
  • Evaluación de señalética para el puente colgante (turismo).

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 57 students registered for the PAES.

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.

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. 2 projects totaling US$ 194 million, approved between 1996 and 1997. When a project spans several comunas, its investment is split among them.

Energy2 projects · US$ 194 M · 1996–1997
Gasoducto del Pacífico S.A.Gasoducto Trasandino y Distribución de Gas Natural en Chile · Central Hidroeléctrica Rucue

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.

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.

Municipally maintained green area per inhabitant (SINIM). The National Urban Development Council recommends a minimum of 10 m²/inhab (WHO, ~9). Self-reported by municipalities, with quality varying across comunas.

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.
