The ordinary plenary of the month of December of the Sant Antoni Town Council has approved this Wednesday, in an initial way, the municipal budget for 2025, which amounts to 50,732,750 euros, a significant increase of 36.16% compared to the previous year. This increase will strengthen key areas such as social welfare, culture, youth and sports, as well as undertake major investments in public works.
Public works as a priority
A significant part of the budget, 11.6 million euros, will be allocated to infrastructure and urban development projects. Among the initiatives planned is the start of the drafting of the General Urban Development Plan (PGOU), with an allocation of 150,000 euros. This plan will be fundamental to adapt the municipality to current demands and plan its future growth.
The City Council has also approved a new reduction of the Real Estate Tax (IBI), which will go from 0.70 to 0.68, thus reinforcing its commitment to reducing the tax burden for residents.
Strengthening safety and sustainability
Security will be another of the key axes of the budget, with the creation of ten new Local Police positions, which will be added to the current staff to strengthen surveillance and citizen protection. As for waste management, a 35% increase in collection and landfill fees has been definitively approved, complying with state regulations that require the real costs of this service to be passed on to citizens before April 2025. This measure seeks to promote a more efficient and sustainable circular economy.
Diversified sources of financing
The budget will be financed through different channels, highlighting the City Council’s own funds, which amount to 28.5 million euros, as well as contributions from the State (9.3 million), the Balearic Government (2.9 million) and the Consell d’Eivissa (3.2 million). In addition, a loan of 6.6 million is included to cover strategic investments.
Administrative reorganization and new jobs
The plenary also approved the integration of the staff of the public company OSSAN 2005 SA, in charge of the management of the Can Coix sports complex, into the municipal structure. This measure includes the creation of new jobs and the revision of existing ones, with the aim of optimizing the operation of the sports area.
