In the framework of its 32nd Ordinary Session, the Deliberative Council of Concordia, with the presence of all its councilors, held a key day for urban and social planning. The central point of the session was the sanction and unanimous approval of the Budget of Expenses and Resources for the 2026 fiscal year of EDOS.
EDOS 2026 Budget
The vice-mayor and president of the Body, Lic. Magdalena Reta de Urquiza, provided a detailed balance, highlighting the growth of the entity's financial autonomy and the strong investment component destined for the modernization of services. The total approved budget, which amounts to $13.1 billion, lays the foundations for a more efficient and self-sustainable management model.
When presenting the financial bases of the budget, Lic. Reta de Urquiza emphasized the decreasing trend of municipal dependency. She explained that the largest part of the financing, which represents a 63% of the total, comes from the direct collection of municipal taxes for water and sanitation services (self-financing).
Faced with this, the transfers coming from the Municipality now represent only 37% ($4.8 billion) of the total. "The 37% of transfers represents a percentage that has been decreasing. When we took office, that percentage reached almost or exceeded 50%," detailed the Vice-mayor. This change reflects a management rigorously focused on efficiency and the optimization of internal resources, marking a firm step towards full self-sufficiency.
The Deliberative Council prioritized the modernization of essential services, allocating a capital investment of $1.55 billion for the renewal of the fleet and infrastructure. This investment is broken down into two key areas:
$1 Billion for Public Works: This amount will be focused entirely on the improvement and expansion of the city's water and sewage service network, seeking to remedy historical deficits in sanitary infrastructure.
$550 Million for Capital Goods: They will be oriented towards the renewal of the vehicle fleet and equipment, considered obsolete. It is planned to continue the policy of incorporating new capital goods, following the example of the two pickup trucks acquired recently.
Acceptance of Donation of a property.
Another highlight of the session was the formal acceptance of the donation of two plots of land in favor of the municipality. The donation was acknowledged by the Vice-mayor, noting that it is "with a charge," given that the donors request that the lands be destined primarily for child development. The objective is to address the needs of childhood and develop training and human development programs aimed at families in vulnerable situations, strengthening the municipality's social commitment.
Other Resolutions of the Session
Finally, the 32nd Ordinary Session recorded other actions of public interest:
Resolutions declaring of Municipal, Cultural and/or Educational Interest a series of significant events that will take place in the month of November.
