Sesiones
En una línea: El concejo aprobó la compra de concentrado animal para pequeños productores, el nuevo manual de compras públicas y tomó conocimiento de dos nuevas contrataciones municipales en las áreas campesina y turismo.
Temas tratados
- Modificaciones presupuestarias internas: Reasignaciones en varios programas (vestuario inspectores, Puerto Sánchez, biblioteca, sala de psicomotricidad, programa social con leña y circuito de calistenia).
- Nuevo Manual de Procedimiento de Compras Públicas: Presentación y aprobación del manual actualizado según las reformas a la ley de compras públicas, elaborado con apoyo de una consultora de Santiago desde diciembre pasado.
- Licitación de concentrado animal: Adjudicación de 3.600 sacos de suplemento alimenticio para pequeños productores ganaderos de la comuna.
- Transferencia de patente de alcoholes categoría H1: Punto breve, aprobado por el tesorero municipal.
- Presentación de nuevos funcionarios: Incorporación de profesionales a la Oficina del Campesino y a la Oficina de Fomento y Turismo.
Acuerdos y votaciones
- Se aprobaron las modificaciones presupuestarias internas de varios programas (votaciones no queda claro en la transcripción si fueron nominales).
- Se aprobó el nuevo Manual de Procedimiento de Compras Públicas.
- Se aprobó la contratación de Agro Comercial Santa Raquel SpA para la compra de 3.600 sacos de concentrado animal por $38.837.300 (IVA incluido). La licitación pública previa fue declarada inadmisible; se procedió a licitación privada con tres oferentes invitados y se recibieron dos ofertas.
- Se aprobó transferencia de patente de alcoholes categoría H1 (detalles del solicitante no quedan claros en la transcripción).
Plata y obras
- Concentrado animal: $38.837.300 (presupuesto disponible era ~$40,3 millones).
- Circuito de calistenia (barras paralelas, equipamiento funcional): ~$9,16 millones (ingresó el 7 de mayo, según la transcripción).
- Compra de leña/bolsas de leña para programa social invernal: ~$3 millones (cifra aproximada; entrega a coordinar por departamento social).
- Adquisición de computador para biblioteca local: ~$600–700 mil pesos.
- Modificaciones presupuestarias internas de 1 a 4 millones en distintos programas (vestuario, insumos computacionales, movilización, mobiliario).
Puntos de debate o controversia
- Debate sobre criterios de entrega del concentrado: varios concejales advirtieron el riesgo de duplicidad (beneficiarios que ya reciben otros apoyos) y la necesidad de incluir a productores que trabajan animales en campos ajenos o bajo mediería, quienes históricamente quedan fuera de los registros.
- Discusión sobre la leña picada: se planteó explorar compra de leña en metro (en vez de sacos) para rendir más con el mismo presupuesto; se valoró positivamente la idea.
- Inquietud respecto al estado del circuito de calistenia existente y la pertinencia de comprar equipamiento nuevo sin antes reponer el deteriorado.
Para seguir
- Catalina Arteaga Rivera (nueva encargada Oficina del Campesino) debe realizar recorrido territorial para levantar listado de beneficiarios del concentrado y coordinar entrega en cuatro localidades; plazo de adjudicación publicable: antes del 15 de junio.
- Biblioteca local (sector no queda claro en la transcripción) proyectada para estar operativa en agosto con el equipamiento aprobado.
- Oficina del Campesino y Oficina de Turismo comienzan funciones este mes; se espera que ambos profesionales presenten planes de trabajo al concejo próximamente.
- Actualización del Plan Anual de Compras (PAC) pendiente tras las modificaciones presupuestarias aprobadas hoy, lo que requerirá decreto municipal y publicación en plataforma.

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 9 students registered for the PAES — far too few: this comuna’s average is unreliable.

17% de las remuneraciones imponibles (hasta tope base ~$182.000 reajustable IPC) de trabajadores con domicilio y trabajo permanente en la zona. En Aysén/Magallanes/Chiloé/Palena solo si la remuneración supera en 20% el salario mínimo.

Sobresueldo mensual a funcionarios públicos según aislamiento/costo de vida: 125% 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).

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. 1 project totaling US$ 57 million, approved in 2009. 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.
