EXECUTION OF THE PROJECTS
Now, once the scrutiny of the valid votes cast has been completed, the City Council will execute the most voted projects in each of the seven districts up to the budget limit established in each one.
As indicated above, it is expected that more projects will be executed than initially set, given that the budget of the project is an estimate and once it has been auctioned, the cost of the project may fall.
In this way, the following project is included in the budget in order of votes and so on until reaching the established expenditure ceiling.
The councilor has also announced, with respect to the next edition of the Participatory Budgeting, that he wants to find a way to introduce the coastal areas into the project, which with the current system was at a disadvantage because there are few neighbors registered. , with the aim that this area also has a section.
It is, as indicated, one of the demands that have been found in this edition.
