Here’s the American English translation:
In a recent work meeting, Fermín Cerdán, the General Secretary of the Federation of Municipalities and Provinces of Castilla-La Mancha (FEMPCLM), and Rafael Santiago, President of the Regional Council of Secretaries, Auditors, and Treasurers of Local Administration in Castilla-La Mancha (COSITAL-CLM), discussed issues of vital importance for local public administration in the region. This meeting focused on current issues affecting the operation of local entities.
One of the key points highlighted was the review of fiscal rules and the allocation of cash reserves. COSITAL-CLM emphasized the urgent need to provide local entities with more resources, both human and material. These resources are essential for the proper functioning of the services of secretariat, intervention, and treasury, which are fundamental in local administration. These services not only offer legal advice and public faith but also are responsible for overseeing economic, financial, and budgetary management.
During the meeting, the initiatives promoted by FEMPCLM were positively evaluated, particularly the push towards its Central Procurement Office. This project has proven to be effective, allowing local entities to generate significant savings through economies of scale and providing greater agility in procurement processes.
FEMPCLM expressed its gratitude to COSITAL-CLM for its willingness to collaborate in support of local administration and recognized the outstanding work done throughout the region. This meeting also marked the celebration of COSITAL-CLM’s centenary as a professional institution, a milestone that reflects its history and commitment to the sector.
At the conclusion of the meeting, both institutions agreed to establish a framework for cooperation and committed to developing a collaboration agreement that formalizes their professional and institutional relationship, thereby strengthening support for local entities in Castilla-La Mancha.
