Extraordinary Session of the Plenary on June 18
Opening Remarks
- The session begins with gratitude expressed to Maribig for accommodating the meeting at a challenging time due to her work commitments in Alocén.
Approval of Surveillance and Security Plan
- The first agenda item is the approval and inclusion of the video surveillance and security plan from the Provincial Council of Guadalajara, aimed at centralizing all installed surveillance cameras across the province.
- Acknowledgment is given to the Provincial Council for advancing rural safety through this initiative, which has already seen participation from other municipalities.
Concerns Over Delays and Legal Issues
- A council member raises concerns about an eight-month delay in addressing this urgent matter, questioning why it was only discovered now.
- It is highlighted that four surveillance cameras have been operating without valid authorization since March 2026, potentially constituting a criminal offense under Article 197 of the Penal Code.
Financial Implications
- The council member notes that a promised subsidy for maintenance costs in 2025 has been lost due to delays in approving necessary agreements, leading to budgetary modifications being required.
Opposition Stance
- The opposing council member refuses to approve what they deem a rushed management decision that could expose the municipality to legal repercussions. They clarify their opposition stems not from being against surveillance but against negligent governance.
Defense Against Allegations
- Another speaker counters claims regarding illegal operations by stating that maintenance costs are covered by an extraordinary subsidy from the Provincial Council, asserting no illegality exists as cameras are monitored by local law enforcement.
Budget Modification Discussion
Introduction of Budget Modifications
- The next point on the agenda involves discussing budget modification number two for 2026 concerning expenditure transfers between different areas.
Details on Financial Adjustments
- An explanation is provided regarding specific financial adjustments needed for ongoing works at the municipal auditorium named "Almacén de Paquito," focusing on climate control and infrastructure improvements.
Clarification on Project Status
- It is emphasized that today’s vote pertains solely to budget modifications rather than new contracts or licenses. This funding aims to complete current projects as previous subsidies do not cover total costs.
Legal Compliance and Safety Concerns
Addressing Legalities
- A council member stresses that this budget modification will not cut municipal services or harm residents; instead, it ensures project completion while maintaining service levels.
Critique of Project Execution
