Sesiones
En una línea: Sesión ordinaria presidida por un concejal (el alcalde estaba fuera de la comuna) en la que se aprobó una modificación presupuestaria por $74,7 millones para obras en Llenada Grande y se dejó pendiente la renovación del comodato de la Feria de Emprendedores de Río Puelo.
Temas tratados
- Actas 54 y 55: Aprobación de actas de sesiones anteriores (7 y 14 de mayo de 2026).
- Modificación presupuestaria N°9: Ingreso de remesa del Gobierno Regional para el proyecto de centro de comercialización rural de Llenada Grande.
- Comodato Feria de Emprendedores de Río Puelo: Revisión de renovación del contrato, que vence el 23 de junio; se pospuso la votación.
- Correspondencia: Solicitud de la comunidad católica de Cochamó para instalar contenedor de basura en el cementerio y servicio de retiro semanal por el municipio.
- Puntos varios: Estado del cuartel de bomberos; riesgo de derrumbe en kilómetro 44-45; ambulancia municipal detenida más de un mes en taller no autorizado; proyecto "punto limpio" en sector La Primera sin consulta previa a vecinos; ordenanza de alcohol en elaboración; patentes de alcohol y violencia intrafamiliar; viáticos de funcionarios de salud; transporte en Río Puelo; continuidad de municipios en terreno.
Acuerdos y votaciones
- Actas 54 y 55: Aprobadas por unanimidad.
- Modificación presupuestaria N°9: Aprobada por unanimidad.
- Comodato Feria de Emprendedores: No se votó; se acordó que la comisión de fomento trabaje primero con la organización para recopilar antecedentes y luego someter a votación en sesión posterior.
Plata y obras
- Modificación presupuestaria N°9: $74.791.732 transferidos por el Gobierno Regional, correspondientes a las cuotas 4 y 5 del proyecto de construcción del centro de comercialización rural de Llenada Grande, obra descrita como en etapa final.
- Viáticos de salud: Concejales señalaron que el servicio de salud municipal mantiene una deuda pendiente con funcionarios por cometidos de servicio, y que se está pagando montos superiores a los que debieran corresponder según un reglamento aún no actualizado.
Puntos de debate o controversia
- Comodato feria: Concejales pidieron antecedentes sobre uso del espacio, cumplimiento de patentes y mejoras antes de renovar; hubo diferencia de términos sobre si la organización debía "defenderse" o simplemente informar.
- Punto limpio La Primera: Una concejala denunció que la consulta previa comprometida a vecinos del sector no se realizó antes de instalar el proyecto, generando molestia en la comunidad y problemas de basura dispersa.
- Viáticos de salud: Tensión entre concejales sobre una carta presentada por uno de ellos que habría frenado una resolución; un concejal sostuvo que el documento entorpeció el proceso y perjudica el presupuesto de salud.
- Ambulancia municipal: Un concejal alertó que lleva más de un mes en la vía pública en un taller particular no autorizado, sin información clara sobre su estado.
Para seguir
- Comisión de fomento debe reunirse con la Feria de Emprendedores de Río Puelo para levantar antecedentes previo a votar el comodato (se mencionó posible reunión la semana siguiente, fecha no confirmada).
- El alcalde debe responder por escrito sobre: bomberos y renovación de convenio; riesgo de derrumbe en km 44-45; ambulancia en taller no autorizado; contrataciones en salud no informadas al concejo; proyecto punto limpio y consulta vecinal.
- Municipio debe responder formalmente a la comunidad católica sobre solicitud de contenedor y retiro de basura en cementerio.
- Ordenanza de alcohol: en elaboración por comisión de seguridad, se presentará al concejo próximamente.
- Concejal solicitó información por transparencia sobre uso del comodato y sobre patentes de alcohol vigentes en la comuna.
- Visita del concejo a obras en ejecución: pendiente reiteradamente, varios ya terminados.
- Continuidad de municipios en terreno en distintos sectores.

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 28 students registered for the PAES.

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).

Sobresueldo mensual a funcionarios públicos según aislamiento/costo de vida: 35% del sueldo base (art. 7 DL 249). A los funcionarios municipales llega vía art. 25 del DL 3.551/1980 y el monto se aumenta en 40% (Ley 19.354) — salud primaria municipal (Ley 19.378) la percibe sin ese aumento; asistentes de la educación y personal de corporaciones no la perciben (Código del Trabajo).

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.
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. 4 projects totaling US$ 80 million, approved between 2008 and 2019. 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.

Water scarcitySource: DGA · MOP (scarcity-zone decrees)
DGA water-scarcity zone decrees (by comuna, province or region; basin decrees are not counted here, so chronicity is a floor). The decree enables extraordinary water redistribution measures. At the megadrought's peak (2021) 286 comunas were under decree; today 26.

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.
