Sesiones

Última sesión21 de julio de 202171 minWatch session

En una línea: El concejo aprobó por 5-4 la licitación de mantenimiento de la piscina temperada y aprobó por unanimidad el servicio de aseo clínico para establecimientos de salud, ambos con debate sobre experiencia acreditada y condiciones salariales.

Temas tratados

  • Adjudicación mantenimiento piscina temperada: Licitación de piscinería, climatización y calderas; dos oferentes; se adjudicó a Méndez y Asociados Ltda. con oferta de 48 millones de pesos.
  • Adjudicación aseo clínico y control de plagas en salud: Servicio para establecimientos de salud municipal por 24 meses (agosto 2021–2023), aprobado con debate sobre sueldos.
  • Comisiones pendientes: Se fijaron horas para tratar la modificación presupuestaria de salud n.º 2 y la renovación de patentes de alcohol del segundo semestre.
  • Informe para conocimiento: Pago de cotizaciones previsionales (abril–junio 2021) de las tres áreas municipales, educación y salud; el municipio está al día.

Acuerdos y votaciones

  • Piscina temperada: Aprobado 5 votos a favor, 4 en contra. Votaron a favor: Rojas, Igor, Kailín (nombre incierto en transcripción) y la alcaldesa. Rechazaron: Plaza, Silva y al menos dos más (nombres parcialmente inaudibles).
  • Aseo clínico salud: Aprobado por unanimidad (todos los concejales presentes dijeron "apruebo").

Plata y obras

  • Mantenimiento piscina (Méndez y Asociados): 48 millones de pesos. Incluye etapa de reparación y mantenimiento por 24 meses. La oferta descartada era de 61 millones.
  • Aseo clínico salud: Monto mensual de $35.698.647 (IVA incluido); total contrato supera los 850 millones de pesos según el concejal Silva. Sueldos ofertados: supervisor $727.500, operario jardinería $470.000, operario aseo $440.000. Al menos 90 % de los trabajadores (aprox. 45–50 personas) deberán ser vecinos de Huechuraba.

Puntos de debate o controversia

  • Experiencia de Méndez y Asociados en piscina: La empresa puntuó cero en experiencia por no adjuntar certificados según las bases, aunque presentó órdenes de compra y tiene contratos previos con el municipio. Varios concejales (Silva, Plaza y otros) rechazaron la licitación por esta inconsistencia; el asesor jurídico Pablo Casanueva aclaró que no era requisito esencial.
  • Sueldos en servicios externalizados: Concejales Elisabeth Rocco/Rojo (nombre incierto), Carina Soto y Leonardo Igor plantearon que $440.000–$500.000 sigue siendo insuficiente. La alcaldesa y el director de salud (Sergio, apellido no queda claro) argumentaron restricciones presupuestarias estructurales; el alcalde señaló que el presupuesto total del municipio es de 37.000 millones frente a 324.000 millones de Las Condes.

Para seguir

  • Comisión de presupuesto (modificación presupuestaria salud n.º 2): lunes siguiente, 10:00 hrs. Concejal Rocco/Rojo solicitó el informe de ejecución presupuestaria del segundo trimestre; la administración no aseguró tenerlo a tiempo.
  • Comisión de patentes de alcohol (segundo semestre): lunes siguiente, 10:30 hrs.
  • Concejal Igor pidió resolver a la brevedad la situación con la "asociación de funcionarios municipales históricos" (contexto no queda claro en la transcripción).
  • Debate sobre mejora salarial en servicios externalizados queda abierto para discusión presupuestaria futura.

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 930 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. 34 projects totaling US$ 1.637 million, approved between 1996 and 2026. 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.
