  • Decreto N°415 – Dirección de Administración y Finanzas: Se informó el término de la suplencia anterior de Marli Triviño Andrade (fundada en suspensión del titular) y su redesignación como suplente por vacancia, tras la destitución firme de César Riffo Yáñez; la suplencia por vacancia vence el 25 de octubre de 2026 y se debe llamar a concurso público dentro de 30 días hábiles.
  • Modificación al reglamento de aportes a organizaciones funcionales y territoriales (Decreto 848/2025): Se incorporan dos tramos de solicitud: tramo 1 hasta $999.990 con formulario simplificado, y tramo 2 sobre $1.000.000 con formato completo; presupuesto disponible para el año: 20 millones de pesos.

  • Puntos varios: Cupones de gas (gestión de proveedor para las tres localidades), recortes presupuestarios al sector municipal, programa deportivo comunal, logros deportivos de estudiante de Villa Mengual, obras e iniciativas en curso.

Acuerdos y votaciones

  • Acta N°54: Aprobada por mayoría absoluta (se registra abstención o ausencia de la consejala Elisabeth Soto Maldonado en la votación; no queda clara la razón en la transcripción).
  • Modificación reglamento de aportes: Aprobada por unanimidad.
  • Adjudicación licitación vivienda habitabilidad rural: Aprobada por unanimidad.

  • Licitaciones pendientes en proceso: adquisición de concentrado animal, tres camiones (plazo límite 30 de septiembre), dos terminales de buses, centro de información turística en Villa Mengual.

Puntos de debate o controversia

  • Consejal Víctor Ojeda advirtió sobre los límites legales de la actuación de los concejales (riesgo de extralimitarse en funciones fiscalizadoras) y expresó preocupación por los recortes del gobierno central al fondo común municipal, que representan ~80% de los ingresos del municipio.
  • La alcaldesa reconoció que los recortes obligarán a ajustar presupuestos de algunas direcciones y señaló que las tarifas municipales (ej. camión limpia-fosas) están muy desactualizadas y no cubren los costos reales del servicio.
  • Se mencionó que la nueva Ley de Compras Públicas genera dificultades en comunas pequeñas por las inhabilidades que afectan a todos los funcionarios, limitando los proveedores locales disponibles.

Para seguir

  • Director de Control debe presentar propuesta de bases para concurso público del cargo de Director de Administración y Finanzas en 30 días hábiles.
  • Gestionar proveedor de gas autorizado para atender las tres localidades antes del 17 de junio (inicio del uso de cupones) y el 30 de junio (cierre de activación).

Motorways and trunk roads crossing the comuna

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.

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.
