Sesiones

Última sesión7 de agosto de 202584 minWatch session

En una línea: La sesión estuvo dominada por la presentación del director ejecutivo del SLEP Los Parques sobre el traspaso de la educación municipal al nuevo servicio estatal a partir del 1 de enero de 2026.

Temas tratados

  • Viaje alcaldesa al exterior: Solicitud de autorización para asistir a la 16ª Conferencia Regional sobre la Mujer de América Latina y el Caribe en Ciudad de México (8–14 agosto), sin costo para el municipio.
  • Presentación SLEP Los Parques: El director ejecutivo (identificado solo como "Ulises" en la transcripción) expuso el estado de implementación del Servicio Local de Educación Pública que agrupa a Quinta Normal y Renca, con traspaso efectivo el 1 de enero de 2026.
  • Avenimiento extrajudicial: Cobro al municipio por daño a poste de alumbrado público causado por bus de la empresa Metropol Chile en febrero 2025.
  • Puntos bajados de tabla: Modificación a ordenanza de derechos municipales (punto 4) y donación de bienes (punto 5), ambos postergados por falta de información jurídica actualizada.
  • Varios: Inseguridad vecinal, poda de árboles, luminaria de recintos deportivos, conflicto interno en una junta de vecinos.

Acuerdos y votaciones

  • Punto 1 — Autorización de viaje de la alcaldesa: aprobado por unanimidad (8 votos a favor).
  • Punto 3 — Avenimiento extrajudicial con Metropol Chile: aprobado por unanimidad (8 votos a favor).
  • Actas del 18 y 27 de junio: aprobadas sin votación formal registrada en la transcripción.

Plata y obras

  • El municipio recibirá $1.546.917 de la compañía de seguros Suramericana por el daño al poste de alumbrado, en un plazo de 30 días desde la firma del finiquito.
  • El municipio tiene en curso obras de luminaria en Santo Domingo y conservación del Paseo de los Burdes; también 10 proyectos de baños de escuelas con apoyo de la SUBDERE y techado del liceo Benjamín Franklin, todos a ser ejecutados por el SLEP una vez efectuado el traspaso.
  • La alcaldesa señaló que el municipio continuará financiando programas educativos (preuniversitario, PENTAUSÉ, lectoescritura) que el presupuesto del SLEP probablemente no cubrirá.

Puntos de debate o controversia

  • Conflicto en junta de vecinos (nombre no queda claro en la transcripción): representantes respondieron en el Concejo a acusaciones previas de otra facción, alegando falsificación de firmas, amenazas y usurpación de identidad. La disputa está en el TRICEL con vigencia provisoria de la directiva encabezada por Fresia Flores (59 votos).
  • Inseguridad: Varios concejales reportaron lanzazos, robos y patrullaje insuficiente en distintos sectores; el tema se repite como reclamo vecinal recurrente.
  • La concejala Marta Landeros pidió a sus colegas no solicitar sumarios a funcionarios sin respaldo suficiente.
  • La comisión de niñez no pudo realizarse el día anterior por falta de quórum, lo que fue criticado por la concejala Valentina Tapia Escobar.

Para seguir

  • Puntos 4 y 5 (ordenanza de derechos municipales y donación de bienes) deben volver a tabla con informes jurídicos actualizados.
  • El SLEP completará visitas a los 52 establecimientos hacia octubre y publicará en agosto los resultados del concurso cerrado (39 cupos) para funcionarios de la corporación y el DEM.
  • Pendiente respuesta sobre estado del camión chipeador y cronograma de podas para junta de vecinos consultantes.
  • Comisión de niñez debe reprogramarse.

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 1.593 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. 25 projects totaling US$ 1.039 million, approved between 1996 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.
