The Special Accounts Committee approves a budget result of €522.528 in the year 2012.


This balance, unanimously adopted by the municipal Commission of Auditors increases by €385.802 the 146.726€  achieved in 2011.  Along with this, the liquidation of the exercise has brought a positive Treasury balance of €868.168 which almost doubles the €458.977 of 2011.  This is very satisfying because they have been approved unanimously by all parties which implies an implicit recognition  to the management of the governing team which I preside over.  I qualify the result as spectacular, figures based on austerity, with a positive balance are the basis for economic and financial operation of the Town Hall.  Such solvency allows us to deal with possible contingencies that may strike and to meet the needs of residents. We will continue with zero debt to banks, paying our suppliers within the time stipulated by law, and IF the State changes the Budget Law and allow those who have positive balances to spend on investment, we will make a Local Employment Plan for the unemployed of the town.

BUDGET 2013

A year ago the Town Hall of Els Poblets closed the general budget balance of 2011 with a surplus of more that 146,000€ and a positive bank account of more than 458,000€. In addition the not owing anything to the banks, the Town Hall also did not need to take refuge in the FLA (regional liquidity fund) either and is paying its suppliers in no later than 40 days.

The current draft for the budget of 2013 is 3,191,152.79€ in revenues and 3,151,756.51€ in costs. The budget is presented with an initial surplus as already the start of a multi-year of works for the completion of several streets in Partida Barranquets has started. Some of the costs have already been paid by the Town Hall and this will have an impact on the owners when the project is developed.

These figures represent a decrease of 4.78% in revenue as compared to the budget for 2012 and a 7.53% in the expenditure, complying with the new legislation on budgetary matters.

Next year, by managing the resources available to the municipality in order not to increase in any way the financial pressure on the residents, there will be no change in the IBI tax rate or in the refuse collection charges. This despite the fact that for next year it has been confirmed that the refuse collection will increase by 10€ per tonne of garbage. This increase will be assumed by the Town Hall and will have no impact on the residents.

Principally it is intended to maintain or even improve, as far as possible, the delivery of public services provided by the Town Hall. Unfortunately, we have had to reduce some items of expenditure, among others, Protocol, Tourism, Fiestas and Twinning. 

Among other aspects it is stressed that the indoor heated swimming pool will remain open with the minimal cost because of the energy saving measures invested allowing for the costs in gas and electric power to be reduced.

Likewise, thanks to the subsidies from the Provincial Council and the Generalitat Valenciana, several improvements, including the change of the municipality lights to LED, will mean a saving of almost 40% on electric bills.

The government team stresses its willingness to adjust budgets to the current economic reality, with austerity but without forgetting the needs of the municipality and the residents. It also maintains the contribution of 0.3% of regular resources for aid to the third world.

Jaime Ivars, Mayor of Els Poblets, is convinced that the year 2012 will close with a surplus of cash and positive balance, zero debts and satisfied providers. The situation of the consistory is totally positive and results are visible. All this generated, of course, for the good management of the Government team and always thanks to the help and understanding of the residents
