The declaration of economic, financial and fiscal emergency in the municipality of Cipolletti grants a series of powers to the Executive Branch to adjust public spending, even with the cutting of contracts without prior notice. The “fine print” of the ordinance approved by the Deliberative Council It aroused concern in the unions that already requested a meeting with Mayor Rodrigo Buteler to discuss some of its scope for municipal employees.
Buteler arrived at the municipality in a context of serious financial crisis and its first task was to initiate an adjustment and cut in public spending. In addition to reducing the political staff by 40% and reducing the number of secretaries, he sent to the Deliberative Council the emergency project that was approved in the last week of last year.
The purpose of the regulations is “mitigating” the financial crisis is promoting the development of policies, public strategies and programs “in order to reorganize the current situation and promote an effective and orderly administration.”
The first job of the Executive will be to carry out an exhaustive audit of the implementation of the regulations with a mid-year balance to evaluate results. The municipal law governs for one year, but es extendable to 12 more months automatically if so ordered by the Executive.
It will be the mayor’s task to contain public spending in order to guarantee essential service provisions. One of the first pieces of information that emerged from the cabinet was to question the payment of the bonus, which was finally finalized. and generated the first disagreements between Buteler and the former mayor Claudio Di Tella.
One of the most controversial points is the power to terminate, extend or renegotiate contracts “whether for works, services, supplies, public concessions, consulting and/or any other type, concluded prior to December 9, 2023. including the established canons, to which the Municipality of Cipolletti is a party.” Also There will be strict control in the use of public vehicles.
The municipality will be more rigorous with citizens with unpaid debts. One of the recommendations of the ordinance is to promote the fiscal execution of municipal debts. “Carry out an exhaustive review of the Tax and Tariff Ordinances, in order to ensure that they are fair and reasonable,” in addition to limiting the expenses of and propaganda items, “except for those whose purpose is to disseminate and communicate the acts.” of government that involve the general interest.”
The regulations also provide for suspending for a period of 180 and eighty days from the promulgation of this ordinance, the granting of subsidies, subsidies, contributions and non-refundable contributions. “The suspension of travel expenses for political officials of the Executive Branch is provided, except for those authorized by Resolution of the Municipal Mayor.” Another door that is opening is the voluntary retirement systems for municipal employees, a very common practice in the nineties.
This week the meeting between the Executive and the unions could take place to discuss the scope of the regulations for municipal employees. The general secretary of Soyem, Marcelino Jara, sent a note to the mayor last week after the details of the municipal ordinance were made known. There is concern because one of the articles provides for the change of schedules and tasks unilaterally.
