A Câmara do Funchal, in Madeira, today approved inter-administrative contracts with the parish councils of the municipality, a total of 3.6 million euros, indicated the municipality.
In a statement, the municipality notes that this amount corresponds to a 25% increase in the funds for the parishes, adding that the amounts to be allocated “would range from around EUR 100,000 to EUR 740,000”.
The contracts approved, by a majority, at the weekly meeting of the municipal executive (PSD/CDS-PP) will allow “to increase their financial capacity for the exercise of the competences assigned to them and strengthen the proximity response to the municipalities”, the House notes.
At the end of the meeting, the president of the municipality, Jorge Carvalho, also highlighted the “example” behavior of the municipalities during the passage of depression Charles through the region, as well as the “capacity to respond to municipal services” during and after the storm.
