The municipality of Tías held an ordinary plenary session this Tuesday in which most of the items on the agenda were approved. Among them, the management audit related to the Canary Islands Municipal Financing Fund corresponding to the year 2005 was approved, which presented an improvement in the Corporation's capacity to generate savings rates. In addition, the statutes to constitute the Consortium of La Geria were ratified.
This consortium, which will be made up of the five municipalities to which La Geria belongs - Tías, San Bartolomé, Teguise, Tinajo and Yaiza - will have to take charge of the recovery, rehabilitation and preservation of the landscape, since its purpose is the defense and promotion of this protected natural space. This Thursday, San Bartolomé will discuss this issue in its plenary session and next Friday the municipality of Yaiza will do so, which plans to allocate six million euros
Another of the highlights of the session was the approval of the management audit corresponding to the Canary Islands Municipal Financing Fund for the year 2005. It confirms the improvement of the City Council's capacity to generate savings rates. They also reflect the reduction of the treasury surplus by 137,564 and a decrease in long-term debt as loans have been amortized and no new operations have been agreed during 2006.
Similarly, during the year 2005 a surplus was reached for current operations of 2.3%, due to the decrease in expenses. On the other hand, outstanding payment obligations increased, although according to the Corporation some payments could have expired.
The Regulatory Ordinance of the municipal cemetery and the ordinance of the authorization and celebration of civil marriages were other plenary agreements reached during the session.
