Sesiones

Última sesión12 de junio de 2026194 minWatch session

En una línea: El concejo aprobó por unanimidad cuatro licitaciones por cerca de $518 millones, incluyendo la construcción del cierre perimetral del Estadio Biblioteca, y respaldó la declaración de la Asociación Chilena de Municipalidades contra recortes al presupuesto municipal.

Temas tratados

  • Suministro de alimentos (DIDECO): Licitación para abastecer talleres, cursos y actividades comunitarias durante 12 meses.
  • Banquetería municipal: Licitación de servicio integral para ceremonias y eventos de Relaciones Públicas y Seguridad Pública (líneas 2 y 3; la línea 1 quedó inadmisible).
  • Materiales de ferretería: Suministro para mantenimiento menor de dependencias municipales durante 12 meses.
  • Cierre perimetral Estadio Biblioteca: Obra en avenida San Luis 290, recinto histórico de la comuna administrado bajo convenio con el IND.
  • Declaración AChM: Adhesión a la declaración unánime de alcaldes sobre financiamiento municipal, contribuciones de adultos mayores y recortes presupuestarios.
  • Varios: Emergencia eléctrica en Villa Beato Padre Hurtado; situación de los $3.200 millones adeudados por el Servicio Norte de Salud; CAE; reapertura de la biblioteca municipal.

Acuerdos y votaciones

  • Suministro de alimentos: Adjudicado a Comercio Integral PIJ Limitada. Aprobado por unanimidad (10 votos).
  • Banquetería líneas 2 y 3: Adjudicado a Paulina Elizabeth Torres Carrasco. Aprobado por unanimidad (10 votos).
  • Ferretería: Adjudicado a WALA SpA. Aprobado por unanimidad (los votos se tomaron en bloque sin objeción).
  • Cierre perimetral Estadio Biblioteca: Adjudicado a Sociedad PHD Ingeniería y Construcción Limitada. Aprobado por unanimidad (10 votos).
  • Declaración AChM: Aprobada por unanimidad (10 votos).

Plata y obras

  • Alimentos DIDECO: $120 millones IVA incluido, 12 meses.
  • Banquetería (L2+L3): $95 millones IVA incluido ($80M Relaciones Públicas + $15M Seguridad Pública), 12 meses.
  • Ferretería DOPC: $75 millones IVA incluido, 659 productos, 12 meses.
  • Cierre perimetral Estadio Biblioteca: $228.073.913 IVA incluido, plazo de ejecución 150 días corridos. Proyecto enmarcado en convenio de 8 años con el IND. A la empresa adjudicataria (PHD) se le exigió garantía del 20% por no acreditar capacidad económica suficiente.
  • Alerta crítica en salud: El municipio tiene pendientes de recibir $3.200 millones del Servicio Norte de Salud. La alcaldesa informó que hoy a las 18:00 vencía el plazo de Contraloría para una respuesta, sin certeza de cuándo se depositarán los fondos.

Puntos de debate o controversia

  • Legalidad del convenio IND: La concejala Alexandra Arancibia planteó que la inversión en el cierre perimetral supera los montos del convenio y que correspondería un adendum formal. El director de SECPLA y la asesora jurídica respondieron que el convenio fija mínimos, no máximos, y que invertir más no requiere modificación. La concejala no quedó plenamente conforme.
  • Conducta en sesión: Varias concejalas reclamaron al concejal Claudio Sáenz por reírse durante intervenciones de colegas. Sáenz aclaró que su risa es personal y no relacionada con los temas. También se cuestionó el retiro anticipado de los concejales Mario Muñoz y Claudio Sáenz antes del punto de varios.
  • Proyecto "Atraviesas las Torres": La concejala Lesslie Pérez criticó públicamente al concejal Muñoz (ausente) por un video en redes que calificó de desinformador, señalando que el proyecto estuvo archivado sin financiamiento desde la administración anterior.
  • Debate político CAE: Amplio intercambio entre concejales sobre los embargos a deudores del CAE y el rol del gobierno nacional; posiciones divididas entre el bloque oficialista y de oposición.
  • Emergencia Villa Beato Padre Hurtado: La alcaldesa informó en plena sesión que la villa estaba sin luz total por falla en el tendido, con cables energizados en el suelo; pidió a vecinos evitar circular por calles afectadas (Nuestra Señora del Carmen con Lo Marcoleta).

Para seguir

  • La DIDECO debe enviar informe detallado del suministro de alimentos 2026 por fecha, actividad, cantidad de personas y monto (pedido de la concejala San Martín).
  • Dirección de Compras debe incluir montos por ítem en los informes de banquetería (pedido de la concejala Pérez).
  • Subir el convenio con el IND a Transparencia Municipal (pedido de la concejala Cuevas).
  • Reunión ampliada con dirigentes del Estadio Biblioteca para dar a conocer derechos y deberes bajo el convenio.
  • Carta Gantt de la obra del cierre perimetral y coordinación con el departamento de Deporte para uso de recintos alternativos durante la construcción.
  • Catastro y plan de acción para animales en el Estadio Biblioteca (pedido de la concejala San Martín).
  • Oficio de fiscalización por taller mecánico en villa Villarreal / Valle Lo Campino.
  • Evaluar demanda colectiva contra la SEC por cortes eléctricos reiterados en Villa Beato Padre Hurtado.
  • Oficina de la Juventud: evaluar orientación a deudores del CAE.
  • Actualización de números telefónicos en la página web municipal (pedido de la concejala Arancibia).
  • Respuesta del Servicio Norte sobre $3.200 millones: se esperaba a las 18:00 del mismo día.

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 2.930 students registered for the PAES.

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.

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. 65 projects totaling US$ 4.514 million, approved between 1995 and 2025. 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.
