The Local Governing Body of Mijas has approved the draft of the Municipal and Plenary Organic Regulations (ROM), a fundamental tool that has a dual purpose: on the one hand, to regulate the political and administrative organisation of the corporation, as well as the functioning of its governing and control bodies; and, on the other hand, to regulate those legislative developments that must be incorporated, including the adaptation of the administrative and institutional organisation to the common electronic procedure, as well as the incorporation of the requirements arising from the principles of transparency, access to public information and good governance.  

To this end, the proposed ROM is structured into a table of contents, statement of intent, 102 articles, organised into a preliminary title and eight titles, a temporary provision, a derogatory provision and a final provision. All of this to regulate, among other things, the functioning of the basic bodies, the rights and duties of the municipal political groups and corporate members, the right to information for citizens and citizen participation, and the body or bodies that will perform the functions of budgeting, accounting, treasury and tax collection.

After its approval by the Local Governing Body, the text must be endorsed by the municipal plenary and published in the Official Gazette of the Province (BOP).

Content

The ROM details and specifies issues as important as the duties, obligations and responsibilities of councillors, where, for example, exclusive and partial dedications are reflected; the composition of the Plenary and the functions of its presidency, as well as the types of plenary sessions (ordinary, extraordinary and extraordinary of an urgent nature). It also determines how plenary sessions are to be conducted, establishing speaking times for motions, amendments, debates and requests made by members, and the number of motions, amendments, debates and requests allowed per plenary session. 

The regulation also establishes the essential levels of the municipal organisation, i.e. it defines the areas of government, their delegations and the coordinating bodies and general directorates, detailing the functions and powers they assume.

Bodies

Finally, other essential bodies are also included, such as the Legal Department, the Municipal Comptroller's Office as the body responsible for internal control and supervision of the financial and budgetary management of the Town Hall; Treasury and the body responsible for resolving economic-administrative complaints.

The ROM is an essential requirement to adapt the municipality to the regime of municipalities with a large population and until now, the Mijas Town Hall did not have one.
