Ciudad Real opens the period for allegations regarding a credit modification using surplus funds

The City Council of Ciudad Real has opened the public information period for credit modification 3/7-2026 of its 2026 budget, in the form of an extraordinary credit grant and credit supplement financed by the liquid treasury surplus. The initial approval agreement was adopted by the municipal Plenary in an ordinary session on November 3, 2026, and is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Ciudad Real number 215, dated November 6, 2026, under announcement number 3586. Interested parties have fifteen days to examine the file and submit allegations.

The file is processed in accordance with Article 169.1, by referral of 177.2, of the Recast Text of the Law Regulating Local Treasuries, approved by Royal Legislative Decree 2/2004, of March 5. This provision requires that credit modification files financed by the liquid treasury surplus be submitted for public exhibition before the agreement is definitively approved. The announcement identifies the file number, the affected budget year, and the source of financing, but does not detail the global amount of the adjustment nor the breakdown of the expenditure and income items that compose it.

The liquid treasury surplus is the positive balance resulting from the settlement of the previous budget once recognized obligations have been met and provisions required by regulations have been funded; its use as a source of financing specifically requires the processing of an extraordinary credit or a credit supplement.

Initial approval in the Plenary of November 3

The Plenary of the City Council of Ciudad Real, meeting in an ordinary session on November 3, 2026, agreed to the initial approval of the credit modification file 3/7-2026 of the municipal budget for the current fiscal year. The agreement does not exhaust the processing: it remains subject to public information and, where applicable, to any allegations presented.

The announcement is signed by the Councilor for Finance and Personnel, Guillermo Arroyo Buitrago, in Ciudad Real on November 5, 2026, and is also disseminated through the electronic notice board of the Most Excellent City Council of Ciudad Real.

Fifteen days to examine the file

The public exhibition period is fifteen days, counting from the day following the publication of the announcement in the Official Gazette of the Province, that is, from November 7, 2026. During this period:

• Any interested party may examine the file at the municipal offices to submit any allegations they deem appropriate.
• The documentation is also available on the electronic office of the City Council of Ciudad Real, in the section for files subject to public information.
• The announcement is likewise published on the corporation’s electronic notice board.
• If no allegations have been submitted after the deadline has passed, the agreement will be considered definitively approved.

Background: the modification of base 36

The processing follows the same procedure applied weeks earlier to another file from the same fiscal year. The Plenary on September 25, 2026, initially approved file 3/6-2026 for the modification of base 36 of the execution of the 2026 municipal budget, an announcement published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Ciudad Real number 187, dated September 29, 2026, under announcement number 3092.

In that plenary session, provisional approval was also given to the modification of several tax ordinances, according to the announcement published in the same issue of the provincial gazette. The sequence shows a closing of the fiscal year with regulatory and budgetary activity concentrated in the last quarter.

The relevance of this modification is direct for any citizen, entity, or company that has an economic relationship with the City Council of Ciudad Real: file 3/7-2026 alters the 2026 budget allocations and their form of financing, such that the public information period is the only prior window to review the details of the adjustment and file allegations before the agreement becomes final. If there are no allegations, the modification will be definitively approved and will be fully executive.
