  • Acta #16: Aprobada por unanimidad.
  • Hijo Ilustre a Carlos Solari Herrera: Aprobado por unanimidad.
  • Costos operación/mantención flota municipal 2026 (FNDR subtítulo 29): Aprobado por unanimidad.

  • Modificación presupuestaria #5 salud: Aprobada por unanimidad.
  • Contratación suma alzada asesor jurídico: Aprobada por unanimidad.

Plata y obras

  • Flota municipal: ~330 millones de pesos; 4 camionetas 4x4 y un camión 3/4, financiados vía FNDR subtítulo 29.
  • Modificación #5 municipal: Ingresos aumentan ~499 millones (dos PMB de instalación de pararrayos en precordillera). En gastos destacan: instalación pararrayos (~476 M), diseño estanque Murmuntani (25 M), diseño juzgado de policía local Zapagüira (~54 M), mejoramiento alumbrado Timacha y Marca Pata (35 M + 18 M), reposición 50 baterías fotovoltaicas (30 M), plóter SECOPLAC (25 M).

  • Tres ambulancias en tramitación ante el Gobierno Regional: una para Belén (pendiente certificado de pertinencia técnica), dos de reposición para CESFAM Putre.

Puntos de debate o controversia

  • Calvario de Socoroma: Proyecto pendiente desde 2016. Varios concejales expresaron frustración por años de postergación. La administración explicó que el diseño supera los 500 millones, lo que obliga a postularlo al FNDR, y que con recursos propios solo se hará el portal de Belén (~30 M). La consejala Marisol Guanca rechazó la modificación por este motivo.
  • Agua en Murmuntani: Un concejal reportó que vecinos actualmente no tienen agua; se solicitó al alcalde contactar a los dirigentes con urgencia.
  • Número de asesores jurídicos: Con la nueva contratación suma alzada llegan a cinco profesionales jurídicos; concejales preguntaron por resultados concretos y solicitaron que alguno asista al concejo. El alcalde explicó la distribución de roles.

Para seguir

  • Ceremonia solemne para entrega de medalla de Hijo Ilustre a Carlos Solari Herrera (se menciona Arica como sede probable).
  • Licitación de los tres proyectos de pararrayos PMB este año, condicionada a respuesta oficial de la SUBDERE sobre glosa presupuestaria (se esperaba en días).
  • Concurso público para Director/a CESFAM: nuevo director debe asumir el 3 de agosto de 2026.
  • Informe de gestión del asesor jurídico al concejo: periodicidad no quedó definida en la sesión.
  • Solución definitiva al agua de Murmuntani (estudio/diseño incluido en la modificación presupuestaria).
  • Presentación de la unidad jurídica en tabla del concejo (solicitada por concejal Gutiérrez).

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 8 students registered for the PAES — far too few: this comuna’s average is unreliable.

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. 4 projects totaling US$ 83 million, approved between 2008 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.

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.
