Sesiones

Última sesión16 de junio de 2026204 minWatch session

En una línea: El concejo aprobó por unanimidad varios acuerdos clave: acuerdos de consignación judicial, regularización de pagos de asignaciones de salud observados por Contraloría, una nueva ordenanza de patentes comerciales y avances en el proyecto de gimnasio comunitario de Tume.

Temas tratados

  • Acuerdos de consignación judicial: Aprobación de acuerdos entre la municipalidad y al menos dos personas (nombres no del todo claros en la transcripción) por montos de $5.731.000, $5.539.000 y $1.000.000 pesos respectivamente.
  • Regularización artículo 45 (salud): El concejo aprobó un nuevo acuerdo con fundamentos técnicos para subsanar la observación de Contraloría sobre el pago de ~$341 millones a profesionales de salud en 2025.
  • Modificación de convenio de transferencia (corporación municipal/salud): Se discutió y aprobó una modificación de ítems internos del convenio para cubrir el artículo 45 del año en curso; hubo debate sobre el orden correcto de las modificaciones presupuestarias.
  • 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.
  • Oficios de concejales: Solicitudes de mejoras de iluminación pública en Coñaripe, mejoramiento de cauces y aguas lluvias, revisión de normas sobre terrazas y mesas en vía pública, y reconocimientos a personas de la comunidad.
  • Trabajadores de empresa de aseo (ornato): Se abordó un conflicto con trabajadores que no recibieron pagos por parte de la empresa contratista.

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.
  • Ordenanza de patentes comerciales: aprobada por unanimidad.
  • Acuerdo de apoyo al IFC para gimnasio comunitario de Tume: aprobado por unanimidad.
  • Autorización para sesionar en comisión fuera del edificio municipal (Tume, Choshuenco, Coñaripe, eventualmente Liquiñe): aprobada.

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.

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.

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.
