Warns councilor Susana Mendoza Carreño, when submitting her report

The president of the Civil Protection Commission said that they will make everything on their part to "not repeat history"

As the "mother initiative" the councilor Susana Mendoza Carreño defined the need for a new Risk Atlas for the city, as it has not been updated since the last three administrations. She said that it is a fundamental document for Puerto Vallarta in order to define its conditions, its vulnerabilities, risks and opportunities. Without this document many urban decisions could be made which could be regrettable in the future.

When she presented her first activities report as president of the Civil Protection Commission of the City Council, the Councillor asked the mayor, Ramon Guerrero Martinez (who was not present, said the councilor, for being out of town), to the municipal clerk, Roberto Ascencio Castillo- this one being present- that before the end of the year the report is signed with the University of Guadalajara and make the necessary arrangements to have that document.

She added that floods, mudslides, landslides, risks to the population from water currents, beach erosion, devastation of flora and fauna can be aggravated if you do not have a "map" that puts Vallarta in its current context, plan its development and guide it to the safety of its inhabitants and environmental sustainability.

WITH THE LEFT FOOT

She also informed that to date she has headed 11 meetings of the commission that she presided, 7 with quorum, she has participated in 96 work meetings, the first of them, she recalled, on last October 2nd when the accident to the personal secretary of the mayor Oscar Perez occurred, who fell in the stairs of the building of the Municipal Administrative Unit (MAU), a building that was opened with complete recklessness, by the former authorities she said.

She added that she requested a report on the state of the public buildings and of the boardwalk. On the latter hydraulic and electric installations were found in poor and unsafe condition for walkers. According to a report of last June 24th, it is essential and urgent to pipe the electrical wiring as soon as possible to avoid further accidents like the one that took a life and for which a compensation was paid of 236 thousand pesos.

"HERE COMES THE BEST"

Furthermore, Susana Mendoza Carreño, announced that as president of the Commission of Delivery-Reception on Thursday 26th at 10 am at City Hall, she will present an activities report in this regard.

"I got a bundle of 6 thousand sheets, they said that to keep me entertained, well I have read it, and the only thing that they accomplished was to waste my time for helping the citizens, but next Thursday I will be able to inform about everything I found".

Finally the Councilwoman, (as well as the Mayor in his report) apologized to the people, she said, for not having gone far enough, for any errors that may have been committed, for the debt that there is with the state pension (which prevents workers from accessing loans), for the multiple things that are pending and even for having robbed workspaces to local people "for so many people who came from outside to work in this administration."
