Ajuntament de Cardedeu

What Ajuntament de Cardedeu does

Ajuntament de Cardedeu is the municipal government (Ajuntament) of Cardedeu, a municipality of roughly 18,000-19,000 residents in the Vallès Oriental comarca of Catalonia, Spain. It administers a broad portfolio of public services delivered to local citizens and businesses, including urban planning, local taxation, social services, education oversight, culture, sports, environmental management, and local economic development. The entity operates through a network of physical service points — the City Hall at Plaça de Sant Joan, the Citizen Attention Office (Oficina d'Atenció Ciutadana) at C. Doctor Klein, and the Business and Technology Support Centre (CSETC) at C. Josep Vilaseca — supplemented by an electronic headquarters (Seu Electrònica) and a prior appointment system. Service delivery is supported by wholly-owned operating entities including C10 Serveis i Manteniments SL (facility management, including the GiM10 municipal sports center), Teatre Auditori Cardedeu (298-seat performing arts venue), La Mongia training center, Aigües de Cardedeu (water utility), and the Biblioteca Marc de Vilalba public library.

The municipality's technology footprint is modest and largely outsourced: the website portal (cardedeu.cat) is managed by the Diputació de Barcelona's Servei d'Assistència Municipal i de Suport Estratègic, and the electronic administration portal (seu.cardedeu.cat) provides standard online procedures, instance submissions, equipment booking, and electronic billing. No APIs, SDKs, or AI/ML capabilities are documented. Environmental infrastructure includes the Porta a Porta door-to-door waste collection system (launched July 2020), photovoltaic installations, and electric vehicle charging points. The municipality communicates with citizens across five languages (Catalan, Spanish, English, German, French) via a multi-channel strategy spanning its website, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo, Instagram, WhatsApp, digital newsletter, RSS feeds, and the La Vila municipal bulletin.

Ajuntament de Cardedeu is funded primarily through local taxes (IBI property tax, IVTM vehicle tax, IAE economic activity tax) and public fees. Discretionary revenue streams include Teatre Auditori ticket sales (€6-18 per ticket across productions) and venue rentals (€350 half-day, €600 full-day), sports facility rentals at GiM10, and training fees at La Mongia. Leadership transitioned in June 2023 with Josep Quesada (PSC) taking office as mayor, succeeding Xavier Orozco, under a new Pla d'Actuació Municipal covering the 2023-2027 mandate. The entity operates under the strategic oversight of the Diputació de Barcelona, which provides shared digital infrastructure and administrative support to municipalities across the Barcelona province.
