Última sesión10 de junio de 2026157 minWatch session

En una línea: El concejo aprobó un contrato de $130 millones para mejorar la multicancha Marqués de Doñihue y respaldó la declaración política de la Asociación Chilena de Municipalidades contra recortes presupuestarios al municipalismo.

Temas tratados

  • Acta sesión 16: Aprobación de la sesión ordinaria anterior (2 de junio).
  • Cuenta del alcalde: Informe de actividades de la semana (microbasural, evento aéreo, torneo escolar, Asamblea de Alcaldes en La Serena) y preocupaciones por el proyecto de "ley de reconstrucción".
  • Contrato honorario contador auditor: Presentación para contratar a un profesional externo por 6 meses (julio–diciembre 2026) para gestión de cobro de patentes morosas; quedó pendiente de votación.
  • Modificación presupuestaria N°3 de Salud: Ajuste contable con tres movimientos (ingresos adicionales, reasignaciones y reducciones de programas); derivado a comisión de presupuesto.
  • Artículo 30, ordenanza de alcohol: Revotación sobre si excluir o mantener el artículo que autoriza a organizaciones comunitarias a vender alcohol en actividades específicas.
  • Contrato multicancha Marqués de Doñihue: Adjudicación de licitación para mejoramiento del espacio público.
  • Cambio de fecha sesión 18: Traslado del 16 al 23 de junio por conflicto de agenda.
  • Voto político de la Asociación Chilena de Municipalidades: Respaldo del concejo a la declaración de alcaldes de La Serena.

Acuerdos y votaciones

  • Acta sesión 16: Aprobada, 8 votos a favor (Romina Fuente Alba ausente por licencia médica).
  • Artículo 30, ordenanza de alcohol: La moción para excluirlo fue rechazada por 8 votos → el artículo queda vigente; las organizaciones comunitarias pueden solicitar permiso transitorio para vender alcohol.
  • Contrato multicancha Marqués de Doñihue: Aprobado por unanimidad (8 votos).
  • Cambio de fecha sesión 18: Aprobado, 8 votos a favor.
  • Voto político Asociación de Municipalidades: Aprobado, 7 votos a favor, 1 abstención (consejal Arabena, quien argumentó falta de competencia legal del concejo para pronunciarse).

Plata y obras

  • Multicancha Marqués de Doñihue: Contrato adjudicado a Ingeniería y Construcción SK SPA por $130.287.377 (IVA incluido), con presupuesto disponible de $154.677.628. Financiamiento: PMU Línea Emergencia 2025, SUBDERE. Plazo: 90 días corridos. Incluye juegos infantiles inclusivos, pavimento estampado, reja perimetral, vallas peatonales y demarcación deportiva en 4.495 m².
  • Modificación presupuestaria salud: Reconocimiento de ingresos adicionales por $1.044.574.000 desde el Servicio de Salud; reasignación de $408 millones entre cuentas; reducción de $231 millones en cuatro programas (alcohol/drogas, Elige Vida Sana, salud infantil 5–9 años, salud respiratoria).
  • Honorario contador auditor: Costo mensual señalado de $1.300.000, período julio–diciembre 2026; no se votó en esta sesión.

Puntos de debate o controversia

  • Recorte presupuestario en salud: La consejala Gloria Rodríguez alertó que un recorte del 2,5% al presupuesto del Ministerio de Salud amenaza 24 programas sociales, el abastecimiento de insumos en consultorios y el acceso a medicamentos para adultos mayores y pacientes crónicos. El alcalde confirmó que algunos programas comunales ya fueron eliminados o reducidos.
  • Empresa SK SPA adjudicataria reiterada: El consejal Arabena señaló que esta empresa se habría adjudicado alrededor de 12 licitaciones municipales y anunció solicitud de información formal y posible recurso a la Contraloría. Otros consejales y el equipo técnico respondieron que el proceso sigue las instrucciones del Tribunal de Defensa de la Libre Competencia y que todos los contratos están recepcionados sin observaciones.
  • Voto político del alcalde: El consejal Arabena se abstuvo argumentando que el concejo carece de competencia legal para este tipo de pronunciamientos; el alcalde refutó citando un precedente de 2022 en que el mismo consejal sí participó en una votación similar.
  • Honorario externo vs. capacidad interna: El consejal Arabena cuestionó si las funciones del contador auditor no podrían ser asumidas por funcionarios municipales; la consejala Rodríguez argumentó que la disponibilidad de tiempo del equipo interno justifica la contratación.

Para seguir

  • Honorario contador auditor: Pendiente de votación formal en próxima sesión.
  • Modificación presupuestaria salud: Pendiente de revisión por la comisión de presupuesto.
  • Recortes en salud: Alcalde comprometió entregar información detallada a la Comisión de Salud.

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 595 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. 15 projects totaling US$ 383 million, approved between 1996 and 2024. 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.
