Sesiones

Última sesión12 de junio de 20269 minWatch session

En una línea: Sesión extraordinaria breve en la que se aprobaron dos modificaciones presupuestarias, una para reasignar fondos hacia compra de maquinaria y otra para ejecutar recursos de un convenio de salud con la SEREMI.

Temas tratados

  • Modificación presupuestaria MSL-9: Reasignación de saldo no utilizado en la compra de vehículos hacia adquisición de máquinas y herramientas para servicios generales.
  • Modificación presupuestaria SS05: Incorporación y distribución de recursos transferidos por la SEREMI para el convenio de Promoción de la Salud (segundo año de ejecución).

Acuerdos y votaciones

  • MSL-9 aprobada por unanimidad (6 votos a favor; concejala Daniela Hernández ausente).
  • SS05 aprobada por unanimidad (6 votos a favor; misma ausencia). Se dejó constancia de un error tipográfico en el documento: decía "programa MAIS" pero corresponde a "Promoción de la Salud".

Plata y obras

  • MSL-9: Se reasignan $7.323.000 desde la cuenta de vehículos (FIJIAN 2025) hacia la cuenta de otras máquinas y equipos. Los ítems contemplados incluyen pala frontal para nieve, equipos para gimnasio, alisador de piso eléctrico y generadores diésel, entre otros. Las compras se realizarían antes de fin de junio vía compra ágil.
  • SS05: Se incorporan $9.580.000 provenientes de la SEREMI, distribuidos en remuneraciones ($5.400.000), alimentos y bebidas ($1.600.000), materiales ($605.000), publicidad ($500.000) y servicios técnicos y profesionales ($1.475.000).

Puntos de debate o controversia

  • Sin debates ni reparos. La única observación fue el error tipográfico en la SS05, mencionado por el expositor y aclarado antes de la votación.

Para seguir

  • Ejecutar las compras de maquinaria (MSL-9) antes de que termine junio de 2026.
  • Continuar la ejecución del convenio de Promoción de la Salud con la SEREMI (queda un tercer año pendiente).

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 emissions from industrial sources · tons/year (RETC 2020)
15 t MP10
15 t MP2,5
2 t Material particulado
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.

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. 35 projects totaling US$ 1.638 million, approved between 1998 and 2023. 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

No campus · nearest in Punta Arenas at 127.9 km

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.
