Sesiones

Última sesión16 de junio de 2026133 minWatch session

En una línea: El concejo aprobó tres subvenciones a organizaciones comunitarias y los concejales plantearon alertas sobre seguridad vial, estado de los buses, una posible brecha en la cuenta de honorarios y el avance de una denuncia en Contraloría.

Temas tratados

  • Video de cuenta pública 2025: presentación de logros municipales en seguridad, aseo, salud, deporte y cultura.
  • Comisión Social previa: comparecieron representantes del Cuerpo de Bomberos Ñuñoa-Macul, la Agrupación Invictus y el Club Tricolor Dorados para exponer el uso de sus subvenciones.
  • Aprobación de acta: sesión ordinaria N°68.
  • Puntos varios: uso indebido de credenciales municipales, grifos sin agua, accesos de Aguas Andinas tapados, paradero incompleto, buses operativos, licitación de áreas verdes, demarcación vial, Ley Karin, nuevo CESFAM y denuncia a Contraloría.

Acuerdos y votaciones

  • Acta N°68: aprobada por unanimidad (5 votos).
  • Subvención Cuerpo de Bomberos Ñuñoa-Macul: $30.000.000, aprobada por unanimidad.
  • Subvención Agrupación Social y Cultural Invictus: $2.000.000, aprobada por unanimidad.
  • Subvención Club Deportivo Tricolor Dorados: $600.000, aprobada por unanimidad.

Plata y obras

  • Las tres subvenciones anteriores se pagarían en julio, sujeto a ingreso de patentes (según director de finanzas).
  • La consejala Figueroa advirtió que la cuenta de honorarios podría estar deficitaria; solicitó informe a finanzas y a contraloría interna.
  • Licitación de mantención de áreas verdes: en proceso; la empresa actual opera con trato directo por 6 meses. El consejal López alertó que el presupuesto asignado históricamente ha sido insuficiente.
  • Licitación de mantención de vehículos municipales (incluidos buses): estimada en 10–15 días; actualmente solo 2 buses operativos.
  • Nuevo CESFAM Félix de Amesti: en trámites administrativos y sanitarios; apertura estimada para septiembre 2026.

Puntos de debate o controversia

  • Cobro de derechos de aseo a Bomberos ($67.550): la consejala Gómez señaló que bomberos está exento por ley y ninguna otra comuna realiza este cobro; el alcalde (ausente) deberá resolverlo.
  • Credenciales de ex funcionarios: reportes de personas que se hacen pasar por personal municipal para ingresar a domicilios; se solicitó protocolo de retiro al desvincularse.
  • Demarcación El Líbano / Cuadro Verde: el consejal Urra denunció dos choques en ese cruce en días consecutivos tras el retiro de lomos de toro; exigió acción inmediata.
  • Denuncia en Contraloría por caso del ex director de tránsito: cinco concejales firmaron la presentación; la Contraloría (oficio 93.565-2026) habría requerido antecedentes que la municipalidad aún no habría remitido.

Para seguir

  • Informe de finanzas sobre montos de fiscalizaciones a negocios y empresas, y estado de cuenta de honorarios.
  • Respuesta sobre agua en complejo deportivo Amanda la Barca (comprometida para el mismo día).
  • Bomberos enviará plano de grifos de la comuna para cruzar con información de Aguas Andinas.
  • Comisión Social citada para definir normativa de subvenciones 2027 (propuesta de consejala Aguiló).
  • Municipalidad debe remitir antecedentes pendientes a Contraloría.
  • Oficiar a Serviu por obras irregulares frente al gimnasio municipal.

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 993 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. 32 projects totaling US$ 1.644 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.

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.
