Calp City Council has reduced the average payment period to suppliers to 2.52 days in the last quarter of 2020. This figure surpasses the city council's previous best, which was 3.03 days in the fourth quarter of 2019.
Thus, the city takes an average of 2.52 days to pay its suppliers, which not only complies with late payment regulations that require public administrations to pay in a period of less than 30 days, but also reduces it significantly. It should be noted that the figure was 44.85 days in the third quarter of 2015 and as high as 1,000 days in 2011.
The Tourist Board has reissued a comic strip about El Miracle, the most emblematic event of the Moors and Christians festivities in Calp, to promote these festivities declared to be of regional tourist interest.
Calp City Council tendered 57 contracts between May and December 2020.
This number reflects a significant increase over previous years and is due to the introduction of e-tendering, which has streamlined processes, but also to a major restructuring of the department. Staff was increased - a technician and an administrative assistant - staff was trained in e-recruiting and e-tendering (tenders) and tasks were redistributed.
The Mayor of Calp, Ana Sala, released the turtle recovered by the Hospital del Mar of the Oceanogràfic Foundation on La Fossa beach this morning. This was the first act in this town as part of the campaign "La mar de tots", with which Oceanogràfic wants to address communities that are committed to the sea. The aim of this initiative is to raise awareness among the population about the situation of the marine environment.
The plenary session of Calp's municipal council has decided, with the votes of the government team (PP and Ciudadanos), to request the initiation of the procedure to change the name of the municipality of Calp to Calpe/Calp. The initiative, based on a proposal by the Ciudadanos group, was supported with Compromís y Defendamos Calpe voting against and the PSOE abstaining.
The Councils for Citizen Participation and Associations have published the Sustainable Development Calendar to raise awareness of the 2030 Agenda Goals.
This calendar replaces the Green Calendar, traditionally published by the two councils in collaboration with education centres and developed under Local Agenda 21 to spread and raise environmental awareness among school children and the general population.
With today's publication of the projects to adapt and furnish Casa Roja for the family unit and the construction of a water point in the Oltà Mountains in the contractor's profile, the investments that will be financed with the remaining funds from the 2019 budget resolution are already in the bidding phase.
With only one exception: the rehabilitation of the Club Social and the execution of the pedestrian bridge and coastal renovation in Cala Manzanera de Calp, whose tender deadline ended recently.
Calp City Council, through the Education Council, has installed CO2 meters and air purifiers in the four local schools and Silene d'Ifac kindergarten during the Christmas holidays. These measures are intended to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the classrooms.
The CO2 meters make it possible to sound an alarm if a room is not properly ventilated, putting teachers or pupils at risk. They are therefore particularly useful during this period of low temperatures, when the cold forces the windows to be closed.
