Héctor Ruiz Mejía (Jocotepec).- The Jocotepec town council approved the payment of a debt to the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) in the amount of 114,000 pesos. However, they will seek reimbursement, arguing that the balance was due to technical details of the Secretariat of Infrastructure and Public Works of Jalisco (SIOP) in the installation of lights in the bike path.
The payment for the use of electric energy was unanimously approved, and the payment will be made in ten monthly installments of 11,401.20 pesos, however, the town council will seek the legal means to appeal the charge and seek a refund of the payment.
During the fourteenth session of the town council of the Government of Jocotepec, it was informed that the municipality has a debt of 114,012 pesos, generated during the period from January 21 to November 21, 2021.
The municipal trustee, Carlos Alberto Zúñiga Chacón, advised that the debt was generated due to irregularities and inconsistencies during the works of the bicycle lane by the Secretariat of Infrastructure and Public Works of Jalisco.
According to the trustee, the amount was the result of the study of the expenditure of the whole area in kilowatts, which resulted in 2,600 during the period, which represented a fee to the municipality of .05 under the concept of public lighting services.
The irregular monthly expense of approximately ten thousand pesos was due to the fact that the SIOP personnel, during their work on the bicycle path, left the electric service connected to the lights while the necessary technical operations were being installed.
«These were irregular works that now we had to resolve, but we will look for the way to legally request the refund of the undue payment», assured the municipal trustee Zúñiga Chacón during the session.
