Alcalá del Júcar opens its budget expansion for public revi…

The Alcalá del Júcar City Council has initially approved budgetary modification file number 18/2026 of the 2026 budget, in the form of an extraordinary credit and a credit supplement. The agreement was adopted by the Plenary in an extraordinary session on November 4, 2026, and is published as an announcement in the third section of the Official Gazette of the Province of Albacete number 131, dated November 11, 2026 (reference 30.775). The file will be open for public inspection for fifteen business days before becoming final.

Initial approval in extraordinary session

The competent body is the municipal Plenary, which held an extraordinary session on November 4, 2026, and agreed to the initial approval of the budgetary modification. The announcement is signed by the mayor, Juan Pascual Muñoz Legidos, dated November 5, 2026, and is inserted in the third section, Local Administration, of the provincial gazette.

The agreement comprises three operations processed jointly:

An extraordinary credit on the 2026 budget.
A credit supplement in the items that require it.
A modification of the investment annex of the same budget.

The published text does not detail the amounts or the specific budgetary applications, which are only contained in the administrative file.

Financing with surplus and reductions in other items

The expansion is financed through two channels: the liquid Treasury surplus and reductions in other items of the budget itself. In other words, the City Council is not resorting to new debt, but rather reassigning accumulated balances and cutting credits already allocated to provide for the applications that are now being reinforced.

This scheme is common in local corporations that close the fiscal year with a surplus and liquidate the remainder for investment purposes. In this case, the agreement also affects the investment annex, meaning the changes impact the schedule of municipal projects planned for the end of 2026.

Fifteen business days to submit allegations

The public exhibition is supported by Article 169.1 of Royal Legislative Decree 2/2004, of March 5, which approves the revised text of the Law regulating Local Treasuries, applicable by reference to Article 177.2 of the same legal text. The period is fifteen business days from the publication of the announcement.

Interested parties may examine the file and submit any claims they deem appropriate. If no allegations have been submitted after this period, the file will be considered definitively approved without the need for a new plenary pronouncement.

Background: debt amortization and facade grants

This is not the first budget modification of the fiscal year. On September 10, 2026, the Plenary approved file MP 14/2026 (Segex 1635504J), a credit supplement of 195,785.55 euros charged to the surplus and remainder for general expenses. Its purpose was the total amortization of the entity’s outstanding financial debt, according to the details published at the time: application 011 913 increased from 49,000 euros to 244,785.55 euros. That file became final as no objections were filed.

Additionally, the municipality maintains the active annual call for grants for the improvement and beautification of facades and exterior enclosures in the historical-artistic complex, endowed with 10,500 euros and a maximum of 4,000 euros per application, within the line of action regarding the old town.

Impact for residents

The processing affects municipal investments for the final stretch of the year: until the objection period has passed and the file is definitively approved, new allocations cannot be executed. Any interested resident, group, or entity has fifteen business days, counted from the publication in the provincial bulletin, to review the file and question the credit reductions or budget reinforcements before the modification becomes final.
