Última sesión16 de junio de 2026138 minWatch session

En una línea: Sesión cargada de controversias: deuda de $133 millones con CENABAST generó debate y quedó sin resolver, mientras se acumulan casos pendientes ante Contraloría por el bono de trabajadores del aseo y la subvención a Malleco Unido.

Temas tratados

  • Modificación de convenio con SEREMI Vivienda para el Programa Quiero Mi Barrio (barrio Javier Carrera), por $380 millones aprox.
  • Demanda laboral contra el municipio como empresa principal; tribunal propuso conciliación en ~$2,26 millones.
  • Tres modificaciones presupuestarias (educación, área municipal y salud).
  • Convenio de pago con CENABAST por deuda de $133 millones en comisiones de intermediación de medicamentos.
  • Anticipo de subvención para bono de retiro de 18 docentes por $357 millones aprox., en 144 cuotas.
  • Renovación de 182 patentes de alcohol y eliminación de 5; aprobación de nueva patente (AMASA SPA, restaurante, Av. O'Higgins).
  • FONDE 2026: 25 juntas de vecinos subsanaron; se abre nueva ventana 19–26 junio para subvenciones generales (30 organizaciones inadmisibles).
  • Aporte municipal a educación superior 2026: 641 beneficiarios, $59,3 millones aprox.
  • Denuncia ciudadana sobre uso personal de vehículo de seguridad pública y GPS sin datos históricos.
  • Carta de AFUNOT N°1 denunciando modificación unilateral de remuneraciones de asistentes de educación.
  • Bono trabajadores empresa de aseo (~$140 millones): error administrativo impidió postular a SUBDERE; esperan respuesta de Contraloría.
  • Situación económica de Malleco Unido: subvención retenida pendiente de pronunciamiento de Contraloría.
  • Licitación mejoramiento plaza Caracol (Población Alemania), ~$15 millones.
  • Informe de limpieza preventiva de canales y río Rehue de cara al invierno.

Acuerdos y votaciones

  • Aprobados unánimemente: modificación convenio Quiero Mi Barrio; tres modificaciones presupuestarias (educación $340 M, área municipal $128,6 M, salud $2 M netos); anticipo subvención bono docentes $357 M; renovación 182 patentes de alcohol; nueva patente AMASA SPA; 25 juntas FONDE admisibles; nueva ventana subvenciones generales; aporte educación superior 641 beneficiarios; solicitud de presupuesto para cierre perimetral sector cerro San Sebastián.
  • Pendiente (Memo 172): conciliación judicial ~$2,26 M suspendida; el concejo pidió a Jurídica que informe monto real de garantía retenida, número de demandas pendientes y si la nueva empresa concesionaria es continuadora de la anterior.
  • Pendiente (CENABAST): no se votó; se convocó comisión extraordinaria para el 23 de junio.

Plata y obras

  • Modificación convenio Quiero Mi Barrio: $380 millones (marco total del programa: $1.000 millones).
  • Modificaciones presupuestarias: educación $340 M, área municipal $128,6 M, salud +$2 M netos.
  • Anticipo subvención bono retiro docentes: $357,2 M descontados en 144 mensualidades de subvención escolar.
  • Deuda CENABAST: $133 millones (acumulada desde 2019); propuesta de pago en 6 cuotas, primera al 30%.
  • Aporte educación superior: $59,3 M para 641 estudiantes.
  • Plaza Caracol: licitación de mejoramiento zona de juegos por ~$15 M.
  • Bono trabajadores aseo: ~$140 M sin financiamiento formal aún.

Puntos de debate o controversia

  • CENABAST: el concejal Chamorro votó en contra argumentando que la deuda data de 2019 (posible prescripción de 5 años), que cobrar comisión de intermediación entre organismos públicos es cuestionable, y que firmar el convenio equivale a renunciar a la prescripción. Propuso oficio al Ministerio de Salud por "coacción" al amenazar con cortar el suministro.
  • GPS seguridad pública: denuncia ciudadana por uso personal de vehículo municipal por el jefe del área; el sistema GPS no entregó datos históricos, lo que el concejal Chamorro calificó de "gravísimo". Se propone investigación sumaria.
  • AFUNOT: la asociación acusa que educación suspendió unilateralmente incrementos remuneracionales a asistentes sin respetar el reglamento interno ni emitir decreto alcaldicio. Comisión suspendida por fallecimiento de familiar del alcalde.
  • Bono trabajadores aseo: error administrativo no detectado a tiempo impidió postular ante SUBDERE; ~140 trabajadores esperan pago. Concejales piden disculpas públicas y solución formal, no "aspirinas".
  • Malleco Unido: directiva criticó públicamente la lentitud del proceso; concejales aclararon que la demora es de Contraloría, no del concejo, y llamaron a la directiva a "mantener la calma".

Para seguir

  • 23 jun, 15:10 — Comisión extraordinaria de salud (CENABAST); a continuación, comisión de medio ambiente (16:30).
  • Esta semana (miércoles tentativo, 19:00, online) — Comisión educación: escuchar a gremios (AFUNOT y otros) sobre remuneraciones de asistentes.

  • Pendiente s/f — Respuesta de Contraloría sobre bono trabajadores aseo y subvención Malleco Unido; investigación sumaria GPS seguridad pública; informe de Jurídica sobre demanda laboral (Memo 172).
  • Próxima sesión — Presentación de emergencias/canales con gráficos; comisión tránsito postergada para el 30 de junio.

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 1.079 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)
9 t MP10
9 t MP2,5
0 t SO₂

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. 7 projects totaling US$ 319 million, approved between 2006 and 2024. 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.
