Sesiones

Última sesión26 de junio de 2024165 minWatch session

En una línea: La sesión estuvo dominada por una polémica modificación presupuestaria para pagar el segundo semestre de funcionarios a honorarios, en medio de irregularidades en contratos y denuncias de malos tratos en Dideco.

Temas tratados

  • Aprobación de actas (N°17 y N°18): aprobadas con solicitud de seguimiento sobre una fiscalización especial de Contraloría vinculada a un juicio perdido por ~115 millones de pesos.
  • Cuatro modificaciones presupuestarias municipales: reasignaciones en subvenciones comunitarias, cementerios, proyectos de vivienda/equipamiento comunitario y una extensa modificación para honorarios de programas municipales.
  • Modificación presupuestaria de Salud: redistribución de ~448 millones de ingresos y ~720 millones en gastos, principalmente en personal.
  • Licitación alumbrado público (96,6 millones + IVA): contratación de mantención de luminarias de sodio por 100 días hábiles.
  • Licitación elementos de protección personal (~36,9 millones): adjudicada a dos proveedores para equipamiento de funcionarios.
  • Informe de comisión sobre Terminal de Buses: situación de la concesión, condiciones deficientes para usuarios, comercio ambulante y seguridad.
  • Informe comisión de género y diversidad sexual: gestión del departamento de inclusión, necesidades del programa LGBTQ+ y primera gala del orgullo en la comuna.

Acuerdos y votaciones

  • Modificación presupuestaria honorarios (~437 millones para segundo semestre): aprobada con 6 votos a favor (González, Paredes, España, Hernández, Muñoz, Chávez), 4 en contra (Binder, Vargas, Carrillo/Garrido, Rodríguez) y 1 abstención (Cuitiño).
  • Modificación cementerios (3,5 millones para vestuario): aprobada por unanimidad.
  • Modificación vivienda/equipamiento (36 millones): aprobada; debate sobre criterios de priorización de multicanchas y sectores a intervenir.
  • Modificación Salud: aprobada; queda pendiente aclaración sobre causa de disminución de deuda flotante.
  • Licitación alumbrado público: aprobada con voto en contra de Cuitiño (discrepancia sobre recambio de balastros en buen estado).
  • Licitación EPP: aprobada por unanimidad.
  • Primera modificación (11,4 millones a Cuerpo de Bomberos): aprobada con abstención de Muñoz.

Plata y obras

  • ~437 millones para pago de honorarios municipales del segundo semestre (Dideco, Turismo, Seguridad Pública, Dimao, entre otros).
  • 96,6 millones para mantención de ~2.100 luminarias de sodio.
  • 36,9 millones en elementos de protección personal para funcionarios.
  • 36 millones reasignados para proyectos de equipamiento comunitario en sectores Mirasol y Tepual (plazas, áreas verdes, infraestructura cultural adulto mayor).
  • Modificación salud: ingresos estimados por ~448 millones; gastos por ~720 millones, principalmente en personal de planta, contrata y honorarios.
  • Ahorro potencial de ~1.400 millones mencionado si el municipio se adjudica proyectos propios vía postulación.

Puntos de debate o controversia

  • Honorarios sin pago: al menos 14 funcionarios seguían sin cobrar mayo al momento de la sesión; concejales cuestionaron los plazos y la gestión de personal.
  • Irregularidades en contratos: la Unidad de Control objetó informes de honorarios contratados para una función y ejerciendo otra; se mencionaron posibles hechos constitutivos de delito sin que la administración haya formalizado denuncias.
  • Directora de Dideco: un concejal cuestionó duramente su gestión y denuncias de malos tratos; el alcalde la defendió señalando que es inocente hasta que se pruebe lo contrario.
  • Terminal de Buses: concesión de 47 años con condiciones deficientes (asientos rotos, vidrios trisados, olores, inseguridad); la municipalidad carece de contraparte institucional para fiscalizar al concesionario; proceso judicial en curso.
  • Transparencia activa: un análisis externo citado en sesión detectó que funcionarios de varios programas no aparecen publicados en el portal de transparencia, distorsionando datos de dotación y gasto.

Para seguir

  • Informe de Contraloría sobre juicio perdido por 115 millones (Fondos 5): la administración debe informar al concejo.
  • Comisión mixta para priorizar multicanchas según catastro de Dideco y comisión de Deporte.
  • Definir contraparte institucional municipal para la concesión del Terminal de Buses; actualizar situación judicial.
  • Comisión de prevención de riesgos para exponer estado de salud mental y accidentabilidad de funcionarios.
  • Actualizar transparencia activa con nómina completa de honorarios por programa.
  • Evaluar piloto de telegestión de luminarias en coordinación con Secplan y Dirección de Operaciones.
  • Incorporar a organizaciones de diversidad sexual al protocolo del alcalde y al "Día del Dirigente".

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 729 students registered for the PAES.

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.

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. 13 projects totaling US$ 526 million, approved between 2000 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.

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.
