The Mayor’s Office of Cali filed draft agreement No. 006 with the Council, with the request for authorization to carry out public debt management operations, that is, to reprofile Cali’s debt.
Finally, the draft agreement was approached to the Council which, if approved, It will allow Alejandro Eder’s Mayor’s Office to modify the deadlines, grace periods and the capital amortization profile.
This management will free up resources, such as Free Destination Current Income (ICLD), so that the Administration can invest them in strategic city projects, social programs, among others, as previously stated.
The project will be debated initially in the Budget Committee, chaired by Alexandra Hernandez and also composed of Fabio Alonso Arroyave, Audry María Toro, Henry Peláez, Ana Erazo, Carlos Ariel Patiño and Daniella Plaza. If the first debate passes, the second will be held with the plenary session of the Cabildo.
“It consists of four strategic axes: 1. Promote citizen culture for the prevention of violence of all types, crime and behaviors contrary to coexistence, linking the community in processes that strengthen civility. 2. Improve the efficiency and effectiveness of operational and research processes, prioritizing investment in technology and intelligence. 3. Strengthen the infrastructure established for security, as well as human talent. 4. Promote human rights and reduce barriers to access to justice,” the Cali Council detailed in a press release.
This initiative will have its first debate in the Plan and Land Commission, the same one in which the initial study of the Cali Development Plan took place. The committee is chaired Tania Fernandezthe councilor is already accompanying her Sergio Mauricio Zamora, Juan Felipe Murgueitio, Rodrigo Salazar, Andrés Escobar, Roberto Ortiz and Edison Giraldo.
Finally, a third project was submitted for the study of the councilors. Is about the creation of the Family Justice Stamp (No. 007), “with which the Family Commissioners that operate in the houses of justice under the responsibility of the Ministry of Security will be strengthened, with the participation of other local organizations,” added the Council.
The stamp fee will be 2% of the value of the contracts and will not be applied to contracts for the provision of services whose monthly fee payment is less than 10 minimum wages.
It is estimated, according to the Administration, that the collection for this item could reach $10.5 billion, similar to that recorded by the Senior Citizen Stamp.
