Sesiones

Última sesión12 de junio de 2026186 minWatch session

En una línea: El concejo aprobó una modificación al contrato de la obra Hidropac y debatió la distribución de $280 millones del fondo Royalty 2025, con controversia sobre la utilidad de construir una planta modular de aguas servidas cuando existe un diseño en curso a nivel regional.

Temas tratados

  • Aprobación de actas: Actas N°5 (extraordinaria) y ordinarias 32, 33 y 34, aprobadas sin observaciones.
  • Cuenta del alcalde subrogante: Actividades de la alcaldesa (ausente en cometido en Punta Arenas), renovación de seguros municipales, convenio Gobierno Regional–SENCE para 15 cupos de licencia clase B, llegada de 5.000 kg de sal para deshielo.
  • Correspondencia: Invitación al Consejo Regional del 16 de junio (sede Cerro Sombrero); excusa del SEREMI de Salud para sesión de junio; oficio del SEREMI de Energía solicitando reactivar la Mesa de Energía de Primavera.
  • Distribución FED/Royalty 2025: Propuesta de la alcaldesa para usar $280.467.674 en nueve iniciativas de infraestructura y talleres.
  • Ayudas asistenciales: Directora de DIDECO explicó la ordenanza vigente y aclaró que Contraloría prohíbe el reembolso de gastos ya efectuados como modalidad de ayuda asistencial.
  • Modificación contrato Hidropac: Aprobación formal de cambios al contrato de mejoramiento del sistema de agua potable en el OTB.
  • Comisiones y puntos varios: Informe de comisión de medioambiente; fiscalización de dependencias municipales; avances en transparencia y lobby; situación de la radio municipal; pendientes de recursos humanos y contratos.

Acuerdos y votaciones

  • Actas N°5 ext., 32, 33 y 34 aprobadas por unanimidad (4 concejales presentes).
  • Acuerdo N°253: Modificación del contrato Hidropac aprobada por unanimidad.
  • Se tomó acuerdo para incorporar la modificación Hidropac como punto de tabla.
  • Se solicitó acuerdo de consejo para oficiar al gobernador regional sobre la situación energética y sanitaria de la comuna (la concejala Colón lo planteó formalmente; no queda claro en la transcripción si se votó de manera separada).

Plata y obras

  • Royalty 2025 – $280.467.674 en total: consultoría planta aguas servidas sector alto y OTB ($6,5M c/u), diseño alumbrado público ($10M), diseño pavimento calles Monseñor Fañano/Mauricio Rivera ($14M), construcción planta modular tratamiento aguas servidas ($100M), mejoramiento luminarias Valle Azul ($58M), complemento calefacción consistorio ($35,5M), reparación pérdidas agua potable ($35M), talleres comunitarios ($15M).
  • Modificación contrato Hidropac: monto original $148.860.079; aumento de $10.924.200 (IVA incluido) financiado con recursos municipales; nuevo total $159.730.279; plazo ampliado 40 días (nuevo término: 4 de septiembre de 2026).

Puntos de debate o controversia

  • Planta modular de aguas servidas: la concejala Colón cuestionó la duplicidad de inversión dado que el Gobierno Regional ya financia un diseño para toda la localidad; la administración defendió la urgencia de una solución a corto plazo para la Villa Pioneros y la Casa de Salud del OTB, estimando que la solución regional tardaría al menos 3–5 años más.
  • Modificación Hidropac: la concejala Colón reclamó que la documentación llegó el día anterior (no con cinco días de anticipación) y que el detalle de partidas solicitado en sesiones previas nunca fue enviado.
  • Compra camioneta alcaldía: el administrador municipal discrepa con los directores de Control y de Finanzas sobre si corresponde comprar por convenio marco o buscar alternativas; aguarda informe jurídico para resolver.

Para seguir

  • Reunión de comisión para revisar en detalle las iniciativas FED 2025.
  • Envío de modificación Hidropac a SUBDERE para aprobación; retomar obras con el contratista.
  • Entrega pendiente al concejo: acta de entendimiento Hidropac y detalle de partidas.
  • Informe jurídico sobre mecanismo de compra de la camioneta de alcaldía.

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)
17 t MP10
17 t MP2,5
3 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. 56 projects totaling US$ 2.552 million, approved between 1999 and 2025. 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

Higher education
No campus · nearest in Porvenir at 70.4 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.
