Mayor Francisco Azcué presided over the weekly Cabinet meeting this Friday, where he highlighted “the great work carried out by the entire team, which has allowed us to tender the purchase of equipment for more than 1 billion pesos today. In this context, we cannot deviate even a millimeter from this conduct to close the year with balance and with the quality of public service that we must provide to our residents,” remarked Azcué at the start of the meeting with his secretaries.
He emphasized the importance of all lines of work, “from secretaries, undersecretaries, directors, to area heads,” taking ownership of the continuity of this conduct “to have predictability” in the availability of resources in the final part of the year.
He highlighted the task that the Secretariat of Finance and Cabinet Coordination will have ahead in this stage to organize spending.
The Secretary of Finance and Cabinet Coordination, Pablo Ferreyra, highlighted that “the responsible use of resources, taking care of every peso paid in municipal tax by the residents of Concordia, was what allowed for investments to be made to improve the provision of services to the community, in an adverse context for such decisions, which requires particular fiscal order.”
He added that this “is the result of orderly planning, teamwork that becomes more professional every day and is more committed to results-oriented management, always thinking that every correct action we take translates into better public policies for the residents.”
AGREEMENT FOR THE PURCHASE OF FOOD WITH THE NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF THE LITORAL
The Secretary of Human Development, Sebastián Arístide, shared with the cabinet the management carried out for the purchase of dehydrated food from the National University of the Litoral to supply community kitchens and Child Development Centers (CDI), which will allow, in addition to economic savings, to improve logistics, storage, and cooking times. The purchase is expected to cover between 10 and 15% of the food served in those kitchens.
Arístide also announced for October 23 the launch of the local Human Development Roundtable provided for in the July Pact, and for October 24 the visit of physician Abel Albino, founder of the Cooperative for Child Nutrition (CONIN), an entity with which the Municipality works closely in specific areas.
He also commented that the joint work with the National Ministry of Human Capital for the total restoration of the Community Integration Center that operates in the Víctor Oppel Complex, which will be renamed “Víctor Oppel Family Center,” is progressing at a good pace.
THE BEST PLACE TO INVEST
The Secretary of Urban Development, Alejandro López, highlighted the work being done in conjunction with institutions, the private sector, and council members to modernize aspects of the Urban Planning Code to attract, promote, and facilitate investments.
Mayor Azcué highlighted his interest in the matter to adapt the conditions for investment and development. Azcué insisted that “we must put the private sector at the center of the scene and we must ensure that Concordia is recognized as the best place to invest. Let it be spoken of throughout Argentina regarding the excellent conditions that Concordia has for development and investment,” he proposed. He said that “we must welcome the investor, the developer, and listen to them and know what they need to carry their projects forward and, within the framework of reasonableness, facilitate their work.”
ATTENTION TO THE HOUSING EMERGENCY
At the Cabinet meeting, the agreement with the Techo Foundation was also discussed, which, with funding from the provincial government, will allow for the construction of 130 housing modules for families in Concordia living in situations of extreme vulnerability. López and Arístide detailed the joint work plans being carried out with the INVyTAM (Municipal Housing and Land Institute) for the start of the works in the month of November.
Mayor Azcué highlighted the initiative as “the decision to address the serious housing emergency that many families in Concordia are going through. It is not a definitive solution nor an ideal situation, but it is doing something to improve a state of affairs that is very bad and that cannot be ignored,” he warned.
He said he is “very satisfied with the progress made and we are studying other complementary measures to provide responses to very serious emergency situations.”
He emphasized the importance of all lines of work, “from secretaries, undersecretaries, directors, to area heads,” taking ownership of the continuity of this conduct “to have predictability” in the availability of resources in the final part of the year.
