Logroño increases its budget by 1.48 million and opens public information

The Logroño City Council has approved the budget modification file for credit supplements number 9/2026, endowed with 1,487,500 euros. The agreement was adopted by the municipal Plenary in a session held on November 5, 2026, and is published in the Official Gazette of La Rioja number 216, corresponding to Monday, November 9, 2026, with official reference BOR-A-20261109-III–4215. The file is now open to the public for fifteen business days to admit claims.

The announcement, signed by the Secretary General of the Plenary, Ángel Medina Martínez, and registered under number 202611050125461, is limited to formalizing the initial approval process and the opening of the period for allegations. The corporation does not detail the specific destination of each credit supplement in the published text, meaning the breakdown by budget applications can only be consulted in the file deposited at the municipal offices.

How the supplement is financed

The operation does not increase municipal debt, but is instead covered by own resources and internal adjustments of the current budget. According to the plenary agreement, the financing of file 9/2026 is structured with three sources:

• Treasury Surplus for expenses with affected financing.
• Higher Revenues for non-affected specific purposes.
• Cancellations of previously allocated credits.

Recourse to the treasury surplus is the usual route for local corporations to incorporate accumulated savings from previous years without resorting to credit operations. In this case, the global amount totals 1,487,500 euros, a figure that the Council does not break down among the three indicated sources in the announcement.

Fifteen business days to claim

The plenary agreement and its file will remain open to the public in the municipal offices for a period of fifteen business days. During this period, any interested party may present the claims they deem appropriate against the agreement or against the file itself.

This is the ordinary public information procedure provided for credit modifications of local entities. The publication in the Official Gazette of La Rioja serves as the reference point for calculating the deadline, which is counted in business days and affects a file of nearly 1.5 million euros.

The legal framework of the procedure

The public exhibition complies with the provisions of article 177, in relation to article 169, of the Recast Text 2/2004, of March 5, of the Law Regulating Local Treasuries. The same legal text is invoked on that day by other Riojan city councils that also submit their credit modifications to public information.

Thus, the Cirueña City Council publishes the initial approval of its file 4/2026, agreed upon in an extraordinary session on November 3, 2026, and the Bañares City Council does the same with file 2/2026, approved on November 2. In both cases, the announcement reminds that, in the absence of claims, the file will be understood as definitively approved, a consequence that the regulations equally extend to the Logroño procedure.

Impact for residents and contractors

The credit modification 9/2026 enables the Logroño City Council to execute expenses that did not have sufficient allocation in the initial 2026 budget, for a total of 1,487,500 euros, without resorting to new debt. For interested parties —awarded companies, entities benefiting from subsidies, and citizens affected by the planned actions— the claims period is the last opportunity to challenge the distribution before the file is closed and the allocations become final.
