Riudellots appoints an interim municipal guard to replace the permanent officer

The City Council of Riudellots de la Selva has appointed Antonio Ruiz Gabarrón as an interim civil servant to fill a position as Municipal Guard for the council, replacing the permanent holder of the position. The appointment was made public in the Official Gazette of the Province of Girona no. 181, dated September 21, 2026, with the official reference BOP-2026_0_181_8032 and retroactive effect from September 7, 2026.

The decision was formalized through Mayoral Resolution number 2026DECR000720, within file X2026000712, and the announcement appears signed by the mayor Josep Lluís Santamaria Moreno with an electronic signature date of September 9, 2026. This is an interim appointment, meaning a temporary coverage of the position while the situation preventing the permanent holder from exercising it persists.

A municipal security position within the special administration scale

The position subject to the appointment has the following characteristics:

• Designation: Municipal Guard.
• Scale: special administration.
• Classification subgroup: C2.
• Nature: interim civil servant, as a replacement for the permanent holder.
• Effective date: September 7, 2026.
• Resolving body: Mayor’s Office of the City Council of Riudellots de la Selva.

Municipal guards are local security personnel assigned to the special administration scale, with functions of surveillance and enforcement of municipal ordinances in municipalities that do not have their own local police force.

Official publication and legal basis

The announcement is published for general knowledge in accordance with the provisions of article 291.3 of Legislative Decree 2/2003, of April 28, which approves the Revised Text of the Municipal and Local Regime Law of Catalonia, and article 94.3 of Decree 214/1990, of July 30, which approves the Regulations for personnel in the service of local entities.

These regulations require the publication of appointments of interim civil servant personnel of local entities, such that the mayoral resolution is incorporated into the public register of personnel acts of the municipality. The published text occupies page 1 of the gazette and does not include any period for public information or allegations, as it is not a selective call but an interim coverage already resolved.

Other personnel movements in the same municipality

The appointment is part of a series of personnel resolutions from the City Council of Riudellots de la Selva published in the provincial gazette during the previous weeks:

• September 10, 2026: hiring of Yara Martínez Calle as an educator for the Municipal Nursery School, as a replacement for a worker, through Mayor’s Resolution 2026DECR000702 (file X2026000693).

• September 17, 2026: final approval of the modification of the municipal personnel staff, with the creation of a vacant Nursery School educator position in group C1, agreed upon by the Plenary in the ordinary session of July 20, 2026.

Together, these resolutions show continuous activity in the council’s personnel area, focused both on covering temporary leaves and on the organization of the staff.

Impact for the municipality

The appointment ensures the continuity of the municipal childcare service in Riudellots de la Selva while the holder of the position is unable to occupy it, and provides public record of the person assuming the functions and the date from which they do so. For residents, publication in the official bulletin is the means to verify the legality and validity of the appointment, as well as to file any claim within the ordinary administrative deadlines.
