Marchamalo creates a technical architect position assigned to the Urban Planning department

The Marchamalo City Council has definitively approved the modification of its job positions list with the creation of a technical architect position integrated into the Urban Planning area. This was agreed upon by the municipal Plenary in the session of November 3, 2026, and the announcement is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Guadalajara number 214, dated Monday, November 9, 2026, with reference 2026_2919, along with the full agreement of the same plenary listed under reference 2026_2918.

The publication is carried out for the purposes of Article 127 of the revised text of the legal provisions in force regarding Local Government, approved by Royal Legislative Decree 781/1986, of April 18, a regulation that mandates the public disclosure of modifications to the staff and the job positions list once definitively approved. The announcement bears the signature of the mayor, Rafael Esteban Santamaría, dated in Marchamalo on November 4, 2026.

A group A2 TMAE position in Urban Planning

The Plenary agreement consists of the creation of a single position, with the following configuration:

• Title: TMAE Technical Architect.
• Department: Urban Planning, Sustainability, and Environment.
• Professional classification group for civil servant positions: A2.
• Supplementary remuneration: destination supplement and specific supplement, with 1,080 points.
• Working hours: ordinary/full-time.
• Functions to be developed: those specified in the sheet approved in the file.

The creation of this position reinforces the technical structure of the area that processes urban licenses, discipline, and execution of works in a municipality of the Guadalajara metropolitan area that has experienced sustained residential and industrial growth in recent years.

Competitive examination or merit-based competition as the means of access

The planned method of provision in the job positions list is via competitive examination or merit-based competition/examination, the two modalities that the sheet allows to fill the vacancy. The specific call for the selection tests, including its bases, deadlines, and syllabus, is not detailed in the published announcement: it must be approved in a subsequent act and likewise published in the provincial gazette so that applicants may apply.

The position is reserved for civil servant personnel of subgroup A2, which requires a university degree or equivalent in the corresponding technical field, according to the classification that the job positions list itself assigns to the position.

The same plenary reorganized the positions reserved for national authorization

The agreement published as reference 2026_2918 completes the modification of the list of positions and affects the positions reserved for civil servants with national qualification. It takes as a starting point the Resolution of 08/28/2025 from the Vice-Ministry of Local Administration and Administrative Coordination, which reclassified the Secretariat from Third Class to Second Class, created and classified the Audit and Treasury positions, and suppressed the position of Chief Clerk in the Marchamalo City Council (DOCM number 170, of 09/04/2025).

As a result, the Plenary approved the evaluation of those three positions with the following valuation:

• Secretariat: 2,340 points.
• Audit: 2,340 points.
• Treasury: 2,340 points.

This reorganization and the new technical position configure a revised municipal workforce as a whole, with reinforced staffing in both internal control bodies and urban management.

One month for the appeal for reversal and two for the contentious-administrative appeal

The agreement ends the administrative route, meaning that an optional appeal for reversal may be filed before the Plenary within one month from the day following the publication of the announcement, according to articles 123 and 124 of Law 39/2015, of October 1, and article 52 of Law 7/1985, of April 2. Alternatively, a contentious-administrative appeal may be filed within two months before the Contentious-Administrative Section of the Court of First Instance of Guadalajara, pursuant to article 46 of Law 29/1998, of July 13. Filing an appeal for reversal prevents recourse to the judicial route until it is expressly resolved or dismissed by silence.

The modification of the list of positions also overlaps with the budgetary activity of the same plenary: in the Official Gazette of the Province of Guadalajara number 214, the initial approval of credit supplement 2241/2026 (reference 2026_2917) and the final modifications of files 1887/2026 (2026_2920) and 1894/2026 (2026_2921), financed with treasury remnants for general expenses, are also published.

The creation of the position has a double practical effect. For the Marchamalo City Council, it means providing itself with its own technician in the Urban Planning, Sustainability, and Environment service, with the capacity to report on licenses and expedite files. For professionals in the sector in the province of Guadalajara, it opens a new opportunity for stable public employment in subgroup A2, whose call calendar must be specified in the coming weeks through the corresponding rules.
