After the PSPV and PP groups in the Pedreguer City Council knocked down the remuneration proposal put forward by the Compromís government in the previous plenary session, today's new plenary session has served to move it forward. It will have two exclusive dedications, one of them by the mayor, and three partial ones at 75%.
The salaries range between 42.532,25 euros gross per year for the mayor's office and the 25.519,35 euros that part-time councilors will receive. The other exclusive, assigned according to the delegations developed, stands at 34.025,80 gross euros per year. The sixth councilor will charge only for assists.
The plenary session of the municipal corporation has approved the proposal with the votes of the government team and the socialist group. The PP has voted against. The session was held in an extraordinary way this Wednesday, July 12.
According to the mayor, Sergi Ferrús Peris, "as has been done since the legislature that began in 2007, the salary corresponding to the mayor of Pedreguer is calculated taking into account two premises: on the one hand, the number of councilors, the budget that is managed in our municipality and the number of inhabitants. On the other hand, and of course, the 'caps' established by law and which can be seen in the attached image. For a town like Pedreguer, the maximum salary for the mayor would be €52.272,61”.
assigned dedications
Regarding the number of dedications assigned to the rest of the government team, also "an effort is made to adjust to the number set by law, without ever using the maximum allowed", which, for a town like Pedreguer, is:
Regarding the dedications, the mayor has recalled, recalling the plenary session of August 2007: «Regarding the partial dedications, our group considers that the dedication should be left to the discretion of the person and team that should take charge of representing the people . Although it is debatable, each one will know (and time will show) how best to work for the people.
It has also been taken into account that salaries have been frozen during the 4 years of the last legislature. "This freezing has meant that 9,45% of purchasing power has been lost," Ferrús assured. "With the proposal that we present, the item for senior positions would increase by 7%, applying that 9,45% increase applied to the rest of the officials over the current one," he added.
The proposal then is to maintain the same salary for the mayor of the last 4 years, «which in reality could be said to be the same as 16 years ago, since in 2007 it was set at €37.861,60. If the legal increase had been applied since then, today it would be €45.779,70. With the 5% update due to the increases that have occurred to the rest of the officials, which, let us remember, has been 9,45%, as well as another for the department in charge of municipal services and public works; Another 3 councilors will be assigned three partial dedications to 75% and only one for assistance, "explained the mayor.
final remuneration
So, the remuneration that the councilors of Pedreguer will receive in the government will be the following:
The approved document also establishes the indemnities assigned to the rest of the members of the corporation, which register a "moderate rise" and are established at 75 euros for attendance at the Plenary Session and information commissions, and €85 for participation in the Governing Board. In addition, municipal groups will receive a fixed component of €160 per month plus a variable €20 per councilor.
