Sesiones

Última sesión10 de junio de 202644 minWatch session

En una línea: El concejo aprobó una modificación presupuestaria, una subvención vecinal y un voto político de respaldo a la declaración de alcaldes que rechaza recortes al Fondo Común Municipal, con la única disidencia de la concejala Richo.

Temas tratados

  • Cuenta: Respuestas a solicitudes previas de concejales sobre seguridad, desratización, poda de árboles, vehículo abandonado, ferias libres y contenedores en Av. San Pablo con Esmeralda.
  • Modificación presupuestaria N°2 – 2026: Ajuste de gastos que incluye instalación de cámaras, pavimentación, cierre de viviendas inhabitables y mejoramiento de alumbrado.
  • Subvención a Junta de Vecinos N°12 (Población La Autaro): $600.000 para comprar 50 sillas plegables para su sede.
  • Voto político: Adhesión a declaración pública del encuentro nacional de alcaldes (La Serena, 3 junio 2026) que rechaza recortes municipales y cambios a la ordenanza de urbanismo.
  • Puntos varios: Solicitudes de concejales sobre podas, señalética, rampas de accesibilidad, fiscalización de obra ruidosa y propuesta de capacitación en inteligencia artificial para funcionarios.

Acuerdos y votaciones

  • Modificación presupuestaria N°2: Aprobada por unanimidad.
  • Subvención JV N°12 ($600.000): Aprobada por unanimidad.
  • Voto político (declaración Asociación Chilena de Municipalidades): Aprobado; única disidencia: concejala Richo.

Plata y obras

  • Modificación presupuestaria N°2: Cubre cámaras, pavimentación, cierres de viviendas y alumbrado. Se menciona un alcance de "22.000 pesos" incorporado —cifra que parece errónea en la transcripción automática; no queda claro el monto real.
  • Subvención JV N°12: $600.000 municipales + $54.000 de aporte propio, destinados a 50 sillas plegables.
  • Piscina municipal: Obras en ejecución; sin fecha de apertura confirmada en sesión.
  • Pavimentación San Pablo con Neptuno: Concluida; vecinos transmitieron agradecimientos.

Puntos de debate o controversia

  • La concejala Richo rechazó el voto político argumentando que el gobierno ya había comprometido públicamente restituir el FCM y que el documento responde a un punto político, no a una defensa real de recursos. También cuestionó gastos de concejales en encuentros nacionales.
  • El concejal (nombre no queda claro en la transcripción, posiblemente Orellana) defendió la participación en encuentros nacionales como ejercicio de descentralización y representación vecinal.
  • Intercambio entre ambos sobre subvenciones rechazadas previamente por Richo, quien aclaró que votó en contra de una cena de dirigentes por considerarla un gasto prescindible.

Para seguir

  • Informe sobre avance de obras y fecha estimada de apertura de la piscina municipal.
  • Fiscalización de obra en Lizardo Montero con San Pablo por faenas en domingos fuera del horario autorizado.
  • Habilitación de rampa de accesibilidad en San Pablo con Tupungato y reparación de vereda.
  • Proyecto de ascensor/accesibilidad universal al segundo piso del municipio (pendiente desde hace años).
  • Propuesta del concejal Pintone de establecer como meta institucional el curso gratuito de IA "Asloconía" para funcionarios municipales; queda para evaluación de la administración.

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 426 students registered for the PAES.

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)
0 t MP10
0 t MP2,5
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.

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. 5 projects totaling US$ 352 million, approved between 2008 and 2021. When a project spans several comunas, its investment is split among them.

Transport Infrastructure4 projects · US$ 341 M · 2008–2021

Energy1 project · US$ 11 M · 2014
Transelec S.A.Línea de arranque y Subestación eléctrica Neptuno

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.
