Sesiones

Última sesión11 de junio de 2026144 minWatch session

En una línea: El concejo aprobó dos proyectos de inversión PMU —una estación de seguridad piloto y una plaza pet friendly— y modificó las metas PMG 2026 de siete áreas municipales, tras anular una votación previa observada por Contraloría.

Temas tratados

  • Anulación votación PMG anterior: Se anuló el acuerdo de la sesión N°51 (23/04/2026) sobre metas PMG, por pronunciamiento N°224 de Contraloría que exigía inhibición del alcalde en esa votación.
  • Transacción laboral: Demanda de ex funcionaria de la Unidad de Ideco por reconocimiento de relación laboral y prestaciones; 5 años de servicio, monto pretendido ~28 millones.
  • Rebaja de tasas de patentes: Propuesta de tasa diferenciada (2,5‰ en zona CST del Plan Regulador) para atraer sociedades de inversión, vigente desde enero 2027.
  • Patente de alcohol: Apelación de Comercial Líquidos SPA para renovar patente de depósito de bebidas alcohólicas, suspendida en 2024 por incumplimientos subsanados.
  • PMU Estación de Seguridad (sector Los Presidentes): Proyecto piloto de módulo de seguridad con televigilancia, cambio de turno y atención vecinal en infraestructura municipal existente.
  • PMU Plaza de Bolsillo Pet Friendly (Av. del Valle): Habilitación de terreno municipal ocioso como espacio público con área canina, juegos infantiles e iluminación.
  • Modificación metas PMG 2026: Ajuste de indicadores en siete áreas (Ideco, Tránsito, Seguridad Humana, Espacio Público, Informática, Personas y cambio de unidad responsable de meta institucional).

Acuerdos y votaciones

  • Anulación votación sesión N°51 sobre PMG: aprobada.
  • Transacción laboral ex funcionaria: aprobada (al menos 2 abstenciones, argumentando falta de antecedentes).
  • Rebaja tasa patentes zona CST: aprobada por unanimidad.
  • Patente alcohol Comercial Líquidos SPA: aprobada.
  • PMU Estación de Seguridad Los Presidentes: aprobado.
  • PMU Plaza Pet Friendly: aprobado.
  • Modificación metas PMG 2026: aprobada (1 abstención).
  • Autorización y pago de traslado a Congreso de Concejales: rechazada por no alcanzar los 6 votos requeridos.

Plata y obras

  • Transacción laboral: monto pretendido ~28 millones; monto acordado registrado en transcripción como "10.000 pesos" —cifra probablemente errónea (Whisper), posiblemente 10 millones.
  • Cuota PMU 2026 asignada a la comuna: ~196 millones (bajó desde ~300 millones en 2025).
  • PMU Estación de Seguridad: ~134 millones de inversión; costos O&M anuales ~3.978.532 pesos.
  • PMU Plaza Pet Friendly: ~61 millones de inversión; costos O&M anuales ~1.714.776 pesos.
  • Tasa rebajada de patentes en zona CST: de 5‰ a 2,5‰, entra en vigor enero 2027.
  • Cobranza judicial morosos 2025: recuperados >540 millones; en 2026 van ~371 millones.

Puntos de debate o controversia

  • Plaza Pet Friendly: Varios concejales cuestionaron la priorización de un sector con más recursos sobre zonas más vulnerables; la directora SECPLA explicó que el terreno estaba bajo comodato de junta de vecinos e imposibilitaba intervención municipal previa.
  • PMG: Una concejala advirtió que se someten a votación metas ligadas a factores externos (fondos de terceros), pese a que esa observación ya se formuló en la formulación original.
  • Estación de Seguridad: Debate sobre por qué el piloto no parte en sectores como San Luis o La Faena; el alcalde explicó que el terreno elegido ya tiene infraestructura habilitada, reduciendo costo y tiempo.
  • Votación PMG previa invalidada: Concejal Villota reclamó que se presionó a votar sin el reglamento actualizado; dejó constancia de que mantiene consulta pendiente ante Contraloría.

Para seguir

  • Presentación al concejo del plan de implementación de la Ley de Seguridad Municipal (N°21.802), solicitada por concejal Sánchez.
  • Definición de terreno para segunda estación de seguridad en San Luis, prevista para el segundo semestre 2026.
  • Presentación de cartera completa de proyectos 2026 en sesión futura.
  • Decreto de tasas diferenciadas de patentes debe publicarse en el Diario Oficial antes de julio para regir desde enero 2027.
  • Oficio a Fundación Integral por cierre del jardín infantil en el sector, sin fecha de reapertura informada a las familias.

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 273 students registered for the PAES.

Environment and air qualitySource: MMA · SINCA + PPDA + RETC

Air emissions from industrial sources · tons/year (RETC 2020)
0 t MP10

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. 8 projects totaling US$ 125 million, approved between 2001 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.
