The Department of Infrastructures and Integral Maintenance of the City is going to raise a motion to the December plenary session with which it will request the Ministry of Economic Development, Tourism and Employment a subsidy of 90,000 euros for the development of the first phase of the audit In four municipal buildings.

In addition, the motion signed by Councilman Víctor Balsas includes requesting the same department of the regional administration a subsidy of 60,000 euros for the development of the first phase of renewal of the fleet of municipal vehicles, by other electric or hybrid.

According to the motion, with the collaboration and technical advice of the Institute of Promotion of the Region of Murcia, the City of Totana has an energy audit carried out on four municipal buildings: Town Hall, Casa de las Contribuciones, Polideportivo de El Paretón And the Municipal Sports Pavilion "Manolo Ibáñez" which reflects a total investment of 242,288 euros.

The situation of debt of the City of Totana of 121.5 million euros, which has to allocate 25% of the current revenue of the budget to the payment of the same, which obliges us to pay suppliers above 200 Days and that the debt per inhabitant stands at 4,000 euros.

To this figure are added the more than probable contingencies that in future will have to pay court judgments and urban agreements valued at 58.6 million euros make it impossible for this City Council to undertake any investment without external funding.

However, both from the Institute of Promotion of the Region of Murcia with which we have been working for months, and the company that conducted this energy audit recommend to make a first implementation of measures (replacement of conventional lighting by LED, replacement of air conditioning , Improvement of thermal insulation) in the amount of 109,882 euros with a return on investment of 4.9 years.

Also, the fleet of vehicles of the municipal warehouse has an average age of 18 years and an expense in its annual maintenance that exceeds 30,000 euros.

The City Council intends to progressively renew the fleet of vehicles in the face of the need to generate savings, be energy efficient, generate the least contamination possible and be able to comply with the payment of its debt.
