- Solicitud de extracción de áridos (empresa privada): El concejo accedió a escuchar la presentación, pero varios concejales adelantaron voto en contra.
Plata y obras
- Modificación presupuestaria municipal: ~$72,2 millones (cifra aproximada según transcripción; incluye donación de la Municipalidad de Antofagasta para adquirir materiales de emergencia: alcantarillas, espejos convex y equipamiento de incendios).
- Modificación presupuestaria salud: ~$27,8 millones de recursos propios.
- Programa kinesiología domiciliaria: ~$8,4 millones con cargo al Fondo KIA Territorial (Royalty), período junio-diciembre 2026.
- Becas estudiantiles municipales: pendientes de decreto; faltaría un delta de ~$2 millones para cubrir todos los cupos aprobados.
- Pasarela peatonal km 35 autopista: obra de la concesionaria ya en ejecución ("en los flecos"), sin costo municipal directo.
- Mejoramiento de caminos vecinales: en curso con maquinaria municipal.
- Proyecto liceo: en etapa de prediseño; reunión en Santiago para destrabar recursos y avanzar a diseño.
- Proyecto Puente Ñipa (Vialidad): en proceso de participación ciudadana; PAC programado para el 2 de junio.
Puntos de debate o controversia
- Camión limpiafosas: El alcalde reconoció que el costo por usuario (~$80.000–$90.000 por mil litros, según el cálculo presentado) haría inviable el programa como servicio regular; el vehículo se mantiene para emergencia hídrica. Los concejales insistieron en analizar el tema con cifras objetivas en comisión durante junio.
- Extracción de áridos en el río: Varios concejales anticiparon voto en contra, aunque aceptaron escuchar la exposición de la empresa.
- Calificaciones AFUSAM y viaje de exámenes a San Carlos: El alcalde reconoció que el traslado de exámenes que terminaron sin ser entregados fue un error grave que generó costos significativos, y anunció que no se descarta un sumario.
- Recorte al Fondo Común Municipal (FCM): El concejal Mena advirtió sobre la reforma en debate parlamentario que podría generar un déficit importante para el municipio antes de fin de año.
- Contratos honorarios y riesgo legal: Concejales pidieron que las funciones aprobadas queden redactadas sin ambigüedades para evitar demandas por contratos permanentes.
Para seguir
- Comisión para analizar viabilidad financiera del servicio de limpiafosas: junio 2026.
- Respuesta escrita de don Danilo sobre adjudicación y fecha de inicio del proyecto consultado por don Sandro (nombre del proyecto no queda claro en la transcripción).
- Visita al liceo y escuela básica para evaluar refugios: programada para el día siguiente a la sesión.
- Invitación formal a la concesionaria de autopista para exponer en consejo: pendiente de gestión.
- Invitación a empresa Arauco para tratar marcaje vial en Nueva Aldea: pendiente.

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 70 students registered for the PAES.

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).

Sobresueldo mensual a funcionarios públicos según aislamiento/costo de vida: 25% 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).

Roads and motorwaysSource: OpenStreetMap · 2026 snapshot
Road infrastructure of the MOP and concession holders, not the municipality: it measures how much highway crosses the territory, not municipal management. Only comunas with roads of this category are counted.
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. 7 projects totaling US$ 1.300 million, approved between 2000 and 2017. 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.

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.

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.
