Alcaldía de La Estrella

What Alcaldía de La Estrella does

Alcaldía de La Estrella is the municipal government of La Estrella, a municipality in the Antioquia department of Colombia, tracing its formal administrative history to 1685. It is the statutory local authority for the territory, exercising powers over local taxation, urban planning, public-service provision, and civic administration. The administration serves the resident population of the municipality through centralized offices and decentralized entities, including ESE Hospital La Estrella (public health), La Estrella ESP (sanitation services), Emtrasur (southern Antioquia transit/transport entity), Personería (public ministry/oversight), and INDERE (sports and recreation institute).

The municipality operates a portfolio of social and infrastructure programs, including the Plan Maestro de Acueducto y Alcantarillado (PMAA) water and sewerage master plan benefiting approximately 2,000 families, the Generación Estrella youth-and-climate initiative, the Consciente mental-health program, the Conectados entrepreneurship program, and the "Alcaldía de Tu Lado" mobile outreach service. Digital service delivery is channeled through the Mi Colombia Digital platform, with stated adherence to ISO/IEC 27001, 27017, and 27018, Ley 1712 de 2014 (transparency/access to information), and WCAG accessibility standards.

Its revenue model is that of a Colombian municipal government: a combination of locally collected taxes (predial, industria y comercio, and others), national transfers via the Sistema General de Participaciones (SGP) and royalties, inter-governmental co-financing, and service fees from the decentralized entities. The current administration, led by mayor Carlos Mario Gutiérrez Arrubla, took office for the 2024–2027 term and has pursued active partnerships with Bloomberg Philanthropies, ICLEI, the Área Metropolitana del Valle de Aburrá, and the Cámara de Comercio Sur y Oriente de Antioquia to access technical assistance and additional funding.
