The mayor highlights the importance of having accounts that amount to more than 3.2 million euros
After closing the exhibition period without having received any allegations, the Hermigua City Council announces that, finally, after three years of continuous extensions, it finally has an approved budget, the amount of which amounts to 3,264,389 euros, which is 7.79% more than the last accounts, which dated back to 2017.
“I think we should be in luck, and I'm not saying this as a mayor, but as a neighbor, since we have had to wait a long time, too long I would say, to be able to have accounts that will allow us to work with ease and develop numerous projects that will see the light of day from now on,” says the mayor, Yordán Piñero.
In this sense, he highlights that the accounts have gone ahead "because the ASG-NCa Governing Group is a solid, coherent project that follows the same path and I also want to highlight the mutual trust and contributions that we have made to create budgets that today, finally, see the light," he explains.
For his part, the deputy mayor, Jacob Piñero, highlighted the importance of these accounts "for the well-being of the residents and that they allocate more than 400,000 euros to public investments that will benefit all Hermigüenses, but also in social services, since it is the people who matter most to us and we must work for and for all citizens," he says.
Regarding the accounts, the Government Group explains that the personnel chapter will amount to 1,621,924, representing 48.73% of it. Likewise, a contingency fund of 31,280 euros has been planned to address the possible increase in the remuneration of public employees derived from the presumed approval of the General State Budget Law for 2020.
Another important chapter of these accounts corresponds to current expenses on goods and services, which will benefit from an increase of more than 354,000 euros compared to 2017 and which will allow the main obligations that the City Council must face to be met, with greater ease than at present.
Current transfers will also be important, which grow by 25% and will set their ceiling at 178,134 euros. A section in which the collaboration of the Institution with the social, cultural and sports groups of the municipality will improve, in addition to the reinforcement of key items in social matters such as aid for the elderly.
Finally, 444,300 euros will make up the chapter of investments included in the 2020 accounts, allowing, among others, the conditioning of several parking areas in the neighborhoods, actions in the area of renewable energy, conditioning of trails, improvements in municipal sports facilities and the updating of hostels, with the aim of putting them into operation as soon as possible.
