Sesiones

Última sesión9 de junio de 202695 minWatch session

En una línea: El concejo aprobó por unanimidad el viaje de la alcaldesa a Israel y un cambio en las metas del PMG 2026, mientras los concejales debatieron con intensidad sobre seguridad vecinal tras un ataque con arma blanca a un familiar de uno de ellos.

Temas tratados

  • Cuenta alcaldesa: Resumen de actividades de las últimas dos semanas: inauguración pavimento Villa Los Poetas, detección de mosca de la fruta en sector El Trébol, avances en proyecto habitacional Viños de Tango, vales de gas, y varias actividades comunitarias.
  • Aprobación de acta: Acta de la sesión ordinaria N°1129 del 26 de mayo de 2026.
  • Viaje a Israel: Solicitud de autorización para que la alcaldesa participe en la MuniExpo 2026 en Tel Aviv (19–27 de junio), sin costo para el municipio.
  • Modificación PMG 2026: Cambio de la meta institucional del Programa de Mejoramiento de Gestión, desde elaboración de un plan estratégico a creación de un manual de descriptores de cargo y organigrama municipal.
  • Puntos varios: Seguridad pública, proyecto de agua potable pendiente de informe, accesibilidad de ordenanzas en la web, y fiscalización de perros sueltos en paradero 5.

Acuerdos y votaciones

  • Acta N°1129 aprobada por unanimidad.
  • Viaje alcaldesa a Israel aprobado por unanimidad de los concejales presentes.
  • Modificación PMG 2026 aprobada por unanimidad.

Plata y obras

  • Pavimento participativo Villa Los Poetas (calles Óscar Castro, Pablo Neruda y Nicanor Parra): inaugurado el 8 de junio, inversión de $129 millones, llamado 33 de SERVIU.
  • Calle Los Álamos: adjudicada en llamado 35 de pavimentos participativos (monto no mencionado).
  • Calle El Carmen: en proceso de postulación al llamado 36 (tramo no precisado en transcripción).
  • Proyecto habitacional Viños de Tango: terreno traspasado a SERVIU; en trámite fusión de predios y resolución de observaciones de DIA. Meta: primera piedra antes del 31 de diciembre de 2026.
  • Vales de Gas: 446 vales entregados en los dos primeros días del proceso mensual.
  • Convenio Universidad SEC: asesoría jurídica gratuita con representación legal para vecinos en causas locales (sin costo mencionado).
  • MuniExpo Israel: financiado íntegramente por la Embajada de Israel; costo cero para el municipio.

Puntos de debate o controversia

  • Seguridad: Un concejal relató que un familiar fue apuñalado cinco veces durante un robo en una parcela. Reclamó por la baja dotación de Carabineros de Calera de Tango, la falta de alcoholemia propia y el sistema de incentivos de la Fiscalía —que a su juicio premia el archivo de causas en lugar de resolverlas. Hubo debate sobre si el problema es de leyes o de criterio fiscal. Se mencionó que el detenido tenía 25 causas previas.
  • Mosca de la fruta: Detectada en sector El Trébol. El SAG lleva el proceso; se discutió la necesidad de zanjas para enterrar fruta y la disposición de los propietarios. Consejal Moreno pidió colaboración activa de vecinos.
  • Pagos del Gobierno Regional: La alcaldesa criticó los atrasos del Gobierno Regional en pagos a la empresa constructora del proyecto de agua potable, lo que habría generado presión directa sobre el municipio.

Para seguir

  • Informe detallado sobre el proyecto de agua potable (nombre no queda claro en la transcripción): prometido para la semana siguiente.
  • Reunión con diputados del distrito el jueves 12 de junio (aprox.) sobre seguridad pública; se propuso llevar una minuta conjunta concejo-administración.
  • Inauguraciones próximas de pavimentos en Villa 21 de Mayo y Villa San Agustín.
  • Ordenanzas municipales: mejorar su accesibilidad en la página web (pendiente con secretaría y comunicaciones).
  • Fiscalización de perros sueltos en paradero 5 (sector no precisado).
  • Convenio con municipio de Pucón para programas de adultos mayores: en trámite.

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 394 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. 9 projects totaling US$ 35 million, approved between 1997 and 2023. 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.
