The local government team carried forward in the ordinary plenary this Tuesday its second budget of the legislature.
An exercise in which the current economic situation directly and indirectly affects the financing of the City and its capacity to act in the coming years.
For this reason, they arise from the austerity and control of the expenses that allow to be more efficient in agreement with the economic policies of today.
What decisively marks the 2017 budget is the adjustment in the collection by IBI, due to the fall in 90% of the cadastral values ​​of a significant part of parcels destined to urban developments.
We speak of Flight Field, Condado de Alhama II, La Ermita and Sierra de Alhama, which will mean a decrease of 1.19 million euros in income, derived from the policies of the previous Government of PP + Citizens to facilitate the arrival of investors to the Paramount project.
However, the adjustment in structural expenditure does not have to reach this amount thanks to both income and expenditures during the previous year, having in any case fulfilled the electoral commitments to reduce the garbage rate by 30% to All people over 65 and reduce by more than 50% more than 500 owners of rural plots cataloged to date as urban on the outskirts of the town.
The budget has sought to adjust in a proportional way the items of expenditure for this year 2017, among personnel, current expenditure and small investments already executed in 2016 as promised by the municipal government.
After canceling in advance the 2 loans, the debt and interest with the company Bavinor, the sentence of the Auditorium and the sentence of Socamex, after fulfilling and maintaining by 2017 the electoral commitment to reduce the cost of the municipal government by 35%, exceeding 160,000 € Annually promised during the election campaign and to make the first major package of small investments and regularization in personnel.
Now it is necessary to continue investing and transforming a budget that in previous years to 2016 was stagnant in local investments below the 100,000 €.
In 2017, even with all the difficulties and adjustments, it is well in excess of the € 400,000, in addition to those expected to be realized with a charge to the positive remaining Treasury and the renewal of the Municipal Land Patrimony at 4.5 million euros.
If we add the new items or the amounts that increase with respect to 2016, we can point out that the socialist government fulfilling the necessary transformation of the municipal budget, converted for a few years into a simple "raise and lower the blind."
We are moving from an investment budget of less than € 100,000 to € 1 million.
The objectives of budgetary stability, spending rule and limit of non-financial expenditure are also met, not incurring deficits and without debt or living capital pending amortization for 2017 and following.
That is, Alhama joins the "select" group of municipalities in Spain with zero debt (0).
The largest possible amount of resources is devoted to productive and sustainable investments, both socially and financially.
Among them were the requests and needs indicated by the municipal technicians and also, as a main novelty, all those resulting from the first large participatory process, held in Alhama, a few months after the important consultation for the location of the Leiva Valley.
Of all the proposals, preference will be given to improvements in sanitation and water management, so in need of investments from years ago and that will try to reverse the trend from this same year 2017.
It will continue to comply with investments committed in the electoral program, especially in matters of education, sports facilities and strategic investments for the municipality.
In addition to committed investments with companies derived from friendly settlements after judicial processes and seeking, in exchange for the reductions in budgeted cadastral values, commitments to remove lawsuits and administrative disputes by debtors and owners, as well as to demand in some cases additional commitments through sponsorship Of necessary investments in the municipality.
It also takes effect the giant step given during 2016 to the new political stage and budgetary pedagogy, through the Participatory Budgets.
All selected proposals, as well as others that are committed by the municipal government for its general interest, will be evaluated and executed during 2017, while a new process will be initiated, taking into account the important experience and participation of the first, as well as the Proposals of the commission that has conducted the pilot test of Participatory Budgets in Alhama de Murcia in 2016.
In this line, AlhamaSuma's first participatory experience in European projects (AlhamaSuma), which was not selected in the first call, continues to be framed, but has again been presented with important work by the municipal technicians.
Some of the key and selected proposals are already being implemented, and will be implemented or implemented during 2017.
The human resources policy of the new municipal government is based on "the dignification of the public employee with a relationship based on loyalty, motivation and productivity".
After liquidating the main debts owed and owed from the previous legislature (€ 60,000 only in overtime of Police of the years 2012, 2013 and 2014), after liquidating the remaining extra pay of 2012 pending payment, now is the time to bet A better definition and measurement of municipal labor productivity, which will begin to be described and quantified in 2017, in order to look for a better and better training of public employees (reflected in various budget lines), a basic definition of objectives, Its better social evaluation of the public employee and a higher quality in the care and provision of public services.
From the PSOE of Alhama we consider that the new budgets reflect a realistic, sensible and transformative program, of change for the better, that was victorious in the last municipal elections.
Where they are ratified the electoral commitments that have not yet been put in place and that mark the steps to fulfill the remaining commitments in the following year.
Strict budgets (municipal government costs keep the cut of € 160,000 committed) and ambitious in terms of changes in the municipal dynamics, supported by greater investment, taking citizen participation very seriously.
Progressive and transparent budgets.
Premises indicated to all the neighbors of Alhama in the electoral program, the speech of investiture, the contractual commitments and of detjudicialización of the administrative dynamics and municipal management, as well as of the diverse commitments acquired in several motions presented and approved by Municipal Plenary , Especially some of the ones presented by the Municipal Group of IU-Greens, which have had the adhesion of PP and C's, by and their possibilities of putting them in march.
On the other hand, these last two groups are still in permanent refusal, excused by a supposed lack of time to attend the duties of the position and to prepare the plenary sessions, when never before so much information had been given and in advance, nor had they been maintained So many meetings and counted with the contributions of the same.
