Sesiones
En una línea: El concejo aprobó la compra de 82.000 vales de gas para vecinos y prorrogó dos contratos de servicios, aunque la extensión del contrato de seguridad generó rechazo de tres concejales por falta de respaldo técnico escrito.
Temas tratados
- Vales de gas: Adjudicación a Gasco GLP SA para entrega de 82.000 vales canjeables por cilindro de 11 kg a vecinos de la comuna.
- Prórroga contrato de seguridad: Extensión por 10 meses del contrato con Air Security y Cía. Ltda. para dependencias municipales.
- Prórroga contrato de combustibles: Extensión por 5 meses del suministro de bencina y diesel con Copec Chile SA.
- Comodatos: Entrega de dos inmuebles municipales a organizaciones comunitarias.
- Conciliación laboral: Pago de acuerdo extrajudicial en causa contra la municipalidad.
Acuerdos y votaciones
- Punto 5 – Vales de gas: Aprobado por unanimidad.
- Punto 6 – Prórroga seguridad: Aprobado, con voto en contra de los concejales Rosales, Cerés y Hoyarzún (la transcripción no precisa el recuento exacto).
- Punto 7 – Prórroga combustibles: Aprobado por unanimidad.
- Punto 8 – Comodato Comité Adelanto Esperanza: Aprobado por unanimidad (8 años renovables, calle San Jorge Nº 1.030).
- Punto 9 – Comodato Club Los de Siempre: Aprobado por unanimidad (5 años renovables, calle Verdi Nº 10.717).
- Punto 10 – Conciliación laboral: Aprobado por unanimidad.
Plata y obras
- Vales de gas: $1.733.234.000 (valor unitario: $21.137; 82.000 unidades; vigencia 24 meses).
- Prórroga seguridad (Air Security): $1.456.216.000 por 10 meses (contrato original desde 2023 por $5.312.160.000).
- Prórroga combustibles (Copec): $360.000.000 por 5 meses.
- Conciliación laboral: Pago único de $1.500.000.
Puntos de debate o controversia
- Prórroga de seguridad: Rosales, Cerés y Hoyarzún rechazaron el punto argumentando que la justificación fue solo verbal en comisión; el informe técnico-financiero solicitado nunca llegó por escrito. La administración sostuvo que los costos laborales (alza del salario mínimo, reforma previsional) son datos objetivos suficientes.
- Vales de gas: Rosales consultó por qué el proceso de gran compra resultó más caro que el convenio marco; la administración aclaró que el valor fue en definitiva inferior al precio de convenio marco vigente ese día ($21.459 vs. $21.137).
- 52 organizaciones sin materiales: Un concejal alertó que organizaciones que postularon a iniciativas infantiles en junio de 2025 aún no han recibido los materiales comprometidos.
Para seguir
- Administración debe enviar informe técnico-financiero que justifique la prórroga del contrato de seguridad (compromiso pendiente de comisión).
- Concejal solicitó oficiar al Ministerio de Transporte por la eliminación de la variante E20 y sus efectos en adultos mayores.
- Concejal solicitó información actualizada sobre el proyecto del CESFAM El Sarvillo (≈13 años de tramitación sin concretar).
- Múltiples solicitudes vecinales de podas, bacheos, veredas y fiscalizaciones ingresadas en puntos varios para derivación a unidades municipales.

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 5.539 students registered for the PAES.

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
Zone with decontamination plan PPDA Region Metropolitana de Santiago · critical pollutant MP2.5 / MP10 / O3
Air quality observed at MMA's SINCA stations within the comuna (2024); 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. 70 projects totaling US$ 3.270 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.
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.

Forest firesSource: CONAF · Occurrence and damage statistics (2023-2024)
Occurrence and area affected by wildfires (CONAF). The 5-season cumulative gives a fairer picture than a single year: fire is episodic and big catastrophes concentrate in few seasons. The area is comuna-wide, not just urban.
Winter riskSource: SENAPRED · winter critical points 2026 (via FAU U. de Chile)
Points in the comuna where SENAPRED identifies winter-rain risk (channel overflows, flooding, collector collapse, landslides, mudflows, snow), with risk level and the agency responsible for the fix.
Climate and climate changeSource: ARClim · MMA + CR2/UC (CMIP6 modeling)
Modeled climatology (CMIP6 downscaling ~5 km): present ≈ 1980-2010, projection ≈ 2035-2065 middle scenario. Not recent weather observation.

Municipal security infrastructure and staff declared to SINIM (since 2016). Excludes Carabineros and PDI, which are national.
Road crashesSource: CONASET · Data Observatory (2024)
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.
