The budget for the year 2010 was approved in the Plenary held on Wednesday 18th November with the votes in favour from the PP and of the BLOC.
The Mayor thanked BLOC for their support, common sense and political responsibility for having voted in favour of this budget.
The budget is rigorous and austere but at the same time solid and productive (thanks partly to Plan E and to the Plan of the Generalitat) and the pledge for a clear policy to contain and decrease expenses.
The budget of revenues is 3.648.000 €
And that of expenses is 3.490.000 €
Being 158.000 € in positive we have lowered the remaining negative assets, being now in negative to the amount of approximately 150.000 € compared with that of the previous year having decreased around 300.000 €, without any type of credits and fulfilling the principle of budgetary stability.
Applying this new containment budget and decreasing expenses will set down the bases to overcome the crisis and to recover the budgetary stability permanently.
We have made it a saving exercise and austerity in the following departures:
Expenses Chapter I: personal expenses reduced 162.810 €
Expenses Chapter II: running expenses reduced 187.300 €
Expenses Chapter VI: Investments reduced 72.546 €
And an increase in capital transfers (Unions, Sanity, Social Services) of 18.840 €
We maintain the capital transfers in the fundamental topics so that the Town Hall functions and advances to improve the services and the quality of the life for the residents.
