Sesiones
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.

Population trend
How it has changedSource: Official INE series 2002–2026 (2017 base).
See the full trajectory to 2050 →INE projects comuna population only through 2035; the 2050 values are an own estimate by the monitor, anchored to the official INE 2050 national total (21,626,079 inhab, 32.1% aged 60+). Not an official comuna figure.

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.

Community organizationSource: RPJSFL Civil Registry (Law 20.500/19.418) · as of Jun 2026
All the comuna's active non-profit legal entities (Law 20.500 / 19.418), classified by organization name. It portrays the civil fabric: not just neighborhood councils, also committees, sports clubs, cultural and elderly groups, foundations and fire brigades.
Foreign-born populationSource: 2024 Census · INE
International immigrants per the 2024 Census (people born outside Chile living in the comuna). Nationwide they are 1,608,650 people, 8.8% of the population.
Housing and housing deficitSource: MINVU (Encampment Registry + 2024 Census deficit + subsidies) · INE
Encampments: MINVU National Registry 2024 (irregular settlements and the families living in them). Quantitative deficit: homes missing per the 2024 Census (doubling-up + unrecoverable overcrowding). Permits: new homes authorized by the Works Directorate in 2024 (INE) — measures future construction, not stock. Subsidies: MINVU by application comuna — DS49 accrues beneficiaries by resolution year; DS01 and DS52 accrue payments by application cohort (national totals in the source file differ ~1–6% from the comuna sum; the comuna series is published).

Environment and air qualitySource: MMA · SINCA + PPDA + RETC
No air monitoring station (SINCA) in the comuna.
Zone with decontamination plan PPDA Region Metropolitana de Santiago · critical pollutant MP2.5 / MP10 / O3
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.
Biodiversity and protected areasSource: SNASPE · SEIA baselines
Species of flora, fauna and funga documented in the baselines of the projects evaluated by SEIA in the comuna — what their environmental studies recorded in the territory. Conservation status (RCE/IUCN) and Chilean endemism are flagged.
CR critically endangered · EN endangered · VU vulnerable · NT near threatened (Species Classification Regulation / IUCN). ★ endemic to Chile. Extracted from SEIA studies by kingdom; presence reflects what baselines characterized, not a census.

Area = hectares of wetland within the comuna boundary (apportioned using the DPA table of each record). For wetlands shared between comunas, "portion / total" is shown. "Urban" = urban wetland (HUR code). Official source migrated to the SBAP (Law 21,600).
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.

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.

Road crashesSource: CONASET · Data Observatory (2024)
Crashes georeferenced by CONASET (urban + highway) during 2024. The only per-comuna source; covers ~70% of the country's deaths (non-geolocatable ones are excluded), so it slightly underestimates the total. Pedestrian collision is the leading cause of pedestrian death.
