During the municipal plenary next Monday, MC Cartagena will propose to the rest of the political groups that accompany the Cartagena training to recover the path of legality and technical criteria in the process of reviewing the water tariff.
In this way, MC will ask for the backing of the Plenary session so that the socialist mayor can promote the application of the municipal cost study issued by two officials, which would result in a new rate.
Thus, continuity would be given to the official procedure initiated on June 1, 2017 in the Government Board, which was ignored after the negotiation of Castejón with the concessionaire, whose agreement was imposed on December 29.
At this point, MC will explain the need to urge the Governing Board, after legal processing through the appropriate municipal services, to approve by virtue of the exercise of the administration's tariff authority, and under the reasoning that a transitory rate of water is included in the file approved by the Governing Board.
The same shall apply as long as the contractual relationship is resolved by the collective appeal filed in 2004 against the extension of the contract service of the municipal water service;
the liquidation of surpluses;
the application of tariffs, possible extra costs, etc.
All this should be translated into a sensible reduction of the rate, discarding the current negotiating practices of the Mayor's Office behind the back of the law and citizens.
The transitory tariff, which would be adjusted to the municipal cost studies, would allow Cartagena to pay less for water, with the certainty of not paying extra costs as has been the case when applying proposals from the concessionaire.
And it is that the only application of the settlements as debt amortization, and not the realization of new works, would cause a lower rate of tariffs than the one "settled" by Castejón and his partner Manuel Padín.
Should the MC proposal materialize, the rest of the Corporation's political groups would help shelve the crazy spiral initiated by the mayor, who has already acknowledged that her announced reduction of December 29 was irregular, disregarding the most basic guarantees and procedures By accepting the data of the concessionaire as good, in no case do they coincide with those of the municipal study.
At the same time, the institutional respect to two years of work of the municipal technicians would be evident, enclosing the action to the legal procedures plus guarantees.
Study the direct management and liquidations with the water service concessionaire
Also, next Monday, MC will present another proposal in which it is planned to urge the local government to study the direct and indirect management formulas, with priority to the first, of the municipal water supply service, before the imminent estimate of the nullity of the extension agreed upon in the 2003 Plenary, which entailed an extension of 25 years of the concession.
It should be remembered that the mayor continues to delay the resolution of the collective appeal against the aforementioned contractual amendment, in force since last December 27.
The cartagenerista formation esteem that because the resolutions must be motivated, it is more than probable its estimation, reason why we are in a suitable conjuncture to choose and to decide what form of benefit of this service is more favorable to the interests of the neighbors .
However, MC emphasizes its priority to promote a direct management of the service through the most qualified municipal officials, some of them aware of the details of the contract and the public service for more than thirty years.
The text also contemplates demanding the impulse and streamlining of the surplus liquidations of previous years (at least between 2011 and 2017), the incorrect application of tariffs and extra costs in general in order to determine the amount that the concessionaire owes to Cartagena .
