- Ordenanza de patentes comerciales: Se aprobó una nueva ordenanza que unifica criterios entre Rentas y la Dirección de Obras, con miras a modernizar el proceso de obtención de patentes.
- Gimnasio comunitario de Tume: Se aprobó un acuerdo para respaldar la solicitud de Informe Favorable de Construcción (IFC) ante el SERVIU, paso necesario para avanzar en el proyecto financiado por el FNDR.
- Cuentas del alcalde: El alcalde informó sobre participación en una feria de turismo (aparentemente en Santiago o exterior) y gestiones para atraer inversión privada y turismo extranjero, incluyendo contactos con operadores brasileños.

Acuerdos y votaciones
- Acuerdos de consignación judicial (al menos tres): aprobados por unanimidad.
- Regularización del acuerdo de pago artículo 45 (~$341 millones, salud, año 2025): aprobado por unanimidad.
- Modificación de convenio de transferencia de recursos a corporación municipal (salud, artículo 45, año 2026): aprobado por unanimidad.

Plata y obras
- Acuerdos de consignación judicial por $5.731.000, $5.539.000 y $1.000.000 pesos (nombres de partes no del todo claros en la transcripción).
- Regularización del pago artículo 45 (salud 2025): ~$341 millones; el presupuesto proyectado para este ítem era ~$359 millones.
- Modificación de ítems en convenio corporación/salud para cubrir artículo 45 año 2026; se mencionan transferencias de $80 millones y $70 millones ya realizadas. El monto total y la cuadratura presupuestaria quedaron en debate.
- Gimnasio comunitario de Tume: costo estimado ~$4.000 millones de pesos (100.000 UF), financiado por FNDR; actualmente en etapa de diseño/IFC.
Puntos de debate o controversia
- Modificación del convenio de salud: Un concejal (nombre no claro) cuestionó que se estaba presentando una modificación al alza de ~$105 millones sin haber procesado previamente la rebaja presupuestaria correspondiente, lo que generó un intercambio extenso sobre el orden correcto de los trámites. Se aprobó igual, entendiendo que la modificación presupuestaria vendría después.
- Permisos de edificación y ordenanza de patentes: El alcalde defendió la aplicación estricta de la normativa ante cuestionamientos de constructores y arquitectos; señaló que una reunión con la Cámara de Comercio despejó dudas sobre supuestos obstáculos en la DOM.
- Trabajadores de empresa de ornato: Concejales preguntaron por el pago a trabajadores de la empresa contratista de aseo. El alcalde explicó que la vía legal corresponde a que los trabajadores demanden a la empresa, no al municipio, aunque reconoció que el municipio podría verse obligado a pagar en subsidio; indicó que ~94 funcionarios están en esta situación.
Para seguir
- Comisión de finanzas pendiente (para revisar escenario completo con últimos ingresos de Royalty y prever modificaciones presupuestarias).
- Comisión de seguridad pendiente.
- Revisión del reglamento interno del concejo (pendiente de sesión con todos los concejales presentes).
- Ordenanza de terrazas y mesas en vía pública: comisión seguirá recabando información en localidades (Tume, Choshuenco, Coñaripe, eventualmente Liquiñe).
- Difusión de la nueva ordenanza de patentes a vecinos, delegados y la Cámara de Comercio; se comprometió una capacitación.
- Proyecto de digitalización del proceso de patentes (mediano plazo), coordinado con el departamento de informática.
- Gimnasio Tume: pendiente aprobación del IFC por SERVIU (estimada en ~2 semanas) y posterior solicitud de permiso de edificación.
- Cuadratura de modificaciones presupuestarias en el convenio con la corporación de salud para el año 2026.

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 490 students registered for the PAES.

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).

Sobresueldo mensual a funcionarios públicos según aislamiento/costo de vida: 15% del sueldo base (art. 7 DL 249). A los funcionarios municipales llega vía art. 25 del DL 3.551/1980 y el monto se aumenta en 40% (Ley 19.354) — salud primaria municipal (Ley 19.378) la percibe sin ese aumento; asistentes de la educación y personal de corporaciones no la perciben (Código del Trabajo).

Biodiversity and protected areasSource: SNASPE · SEIA baselines

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. 7 projects totaling US$ 573 million, approved between 1999 and 2026. 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.
Basic utilitiesSource: SISS · CNE · MINEDUC
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.

Forest firesSource: CONAF · Occurrence and damage statistics (2023-2024)
Occurrence and area affected by wildfires (CONAF). The 5-season cumulative gives a fairer picture than a single year: fire is episodic and big catastrophes concentrate in few seasons. The area is comuna-wide, not just urban.
Winter riskSource: SENAPRED · winter critical points 2026 (via FAU U. de Chile)
Points in the comuna where SENAPRED identifies winter-rain risk (channel overflows, flooding, collector collapse, landslides, mudflows, snow), with risk level and the agency responsible for the fix.
Water scarcitySource: DGA · MOP (scarcity-zone decrees)
DGA water-scarcity zone decrees (by comuna, province or region; basin decrees are not counted here, so chronicity is a floor). The decree enables extraordinary water redistribution measures. At the megadrought's peak (2021) 286 comunas were under decree; today 26.
Climate and climate changeSource: ARClim · MMA + CR2/UC (CMIP6 modeling)
Modeled climatology (CMIP6 downscaling ~5 km): present ≈ 1980-2010, projection ≈ 2035-2065 middle scenario. Not recent weather observation.

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.
