| The project has been approved today by the Municipal Government Board, which has also given the green light to the general criteria that will govern the procession of selection of your career officials | The Local Government Board, meeting under the chairmanship of the mayor, Ana Belén Castejón, has approved the draft of the Regulation of Protocol, Honors and Municipal Distinctions, which will determine and bring together in one text all aspects related to symbols, ceremonial, acts and precedents of the municipal Corporation, as well as the different formulas to honor and distinguish people and institutions.The project has been developed after passing the mandatory public consultation process and must now be brought to the municipal plenary for initial approval and exposure to the public.The text is structured in four titles.The first title is dedicated to the treatments of the City of Cartagena and to the titles and symbols that it has traditionally made use of, such as its shield, flag and hymn, and regulates various aspects related to its use.The second title refers to the municipal Corporation, its treatments, internal order of precedence and distinctive, adapting them to its status as a municipality with a large population, and to what is already included in the Organic Regulations of the City Council.The third title, referring to the official acts of the municipality, is structured in four chapters.
One referring to its organization, presidencies, precedents and invitations, and the other three dedicated especially to the inauguration of the Corporation, the twinning with other cities and the funeral or official mourning, in which the referring to the death of members is contemplated.
of the municipal Corporation and that of people who hold municipal distinctions.Title IV has been dedicated to Honors and Distinctions, which basically maintains the current regulations of 1996, with the titles of Favorite Son and Adoptive Son, Gold Medal, Nominations of streets, buildings and public spaces; although releasing it from the excessive rigidity it possessed regarding the requirement of unanimity for the favorable opinion of the Information Commission (which was unjustifiably shaping up as a veto right) and of the 2/3 qualified majority for approval in plenary, which now becomes absolute (which is the maximum required by the current regulations for matters of greater importance).
Also the numerical and temporal limitation as to its concession, may be excepted in exceptional cases that the Corporation must previously determine.At the same time the titles of a special nature disappear and other assumptions are added, such as the title of Official Chronicler, the Erection of Monuments and the placement of Commemorative Plaques.Regarding the Official Chronicler, he is a figure of long tradition in the municipality of Cartagena.
The Regulation not only contemplates it as an honorary title, but it also attributes advisory and reporting powers to the Municipal Corporation.
The appointment of more than one, -up to five; maximum four per legislature - in which case the Chroniclers Council may be constituted.The erection of monuments and the placement of commemorative plaques is also regulated with the idea of ??tempering their current proliferation, which, given their nature, must be subject to a more strict and transparent procedure.Lastly, the regulation of the procedure to be followed for the processing of the files for the granting of honors and distinctions stands out, since the initiative to request their instruction is expressly opened to the proposals of the Municipal Groups, the Neighborhood Boards and signatures.
of 500 citizens, plus the Mayor's Office.GENERAL BASES FOR CAREER OFFICERSThe Governing Board has also approved the General Bases that must govern all the selective processes for career officials that the Cartagena City Council calls.These bases come to replace those approved by the Governing Board in December 2014; and this due to the need to adapt these criteria to the new laws issued, such as Royal Legislative Decree 5/2015, of October 30, which approves the revised text of the Law on the Basic Statute of Public Employees; Law 39/2015, of October 1, on the Common Administrative Procedure of Public Administrations; Law 40/2015, of October 1, on the Legal Regime of the Public Sector.They set the criteria that the Courts must take into account to select new officials, including practically all the procedures and incidents that arise in a selection process, which is a great help to the Courts and an action of total transparency for the applicants.Each call that the Government approves will entail the approval of some Specific Bases that will only include the agenda and requirements of the applicants to be able to participate, among others, for example, the degree.These bases will be published in the Official Gazette of the Region and in the Public Employment section of the municipal website.
