Pichilemu City Council

The Pichilemu City Council (Spanish: Concejo Municipal de Pichilemu) is the legislative body of the City of Pichilemu.

City Council

The City Council consists of seven members, including the Mayor.[1] City council members and the Mayor are chosen by elections every 4 years. The current members of the city council as of 2010 are: Pedro Aldo Polanco Contreras, Andrea Aranda Escudero, Viviana Parraguez Ulloa, Juan Cornejo Vargas, Marta Urzúa Púa,[2] Patricio Morales Acevedo and Roberto Córdova Carreño (Mayor).[1] The city council is presided by the Mayor.

Pichilemu City Hall

The Pichilemu City Hall serves as the city's administrative headquarters. It was constructed from 1891 until May 6, 1894.[3][4]

The building is located in the Ángel Gaete street,[5] in a terrain with 1.660 m2 that descends suddenly from the street level. It is conformed by a 2-floors building, a zócalo, a complementary construction (260 m2) and a yard. The yard serves as car parking for the municipality trucks, has a store and the corral municipal.[4]

The building was not constructed for that purpose, and works as four separate parts rather than one unit.[4]

The Pichilemu City Hall was scheduled to be renovated in 2011, by the Government of O'Higgins Region.[6] According to the Municipality of Paredones, the Pichilemu City Hall "will be completely repaired."[7] Mayor of Pichilemu Roberto Córdova said on a Pichilemu City Council meeting that the new City Hall will be constructed with the earthquake reconstruction funds, and it is expected that by late 2011, the construction work will begin.[8]
