Câmara Municipal de São Sebastião

What Câmara Municipal de São Sebastião does

The Câmara Municipal de São Sebastião is the constitutionally mandated legislative body of the municipality of São Sebastião, a coastal city on São Paulo's north shore with ~90,000+ inhabitants. Founded on 16 March 1636 as the Casa de Câmara e Cadeia and operating today under the Lei Orgânica Municipal approved on 5 April 1990, the chamber is currently in its 38th Legislature (2025-2026 biennium), led by President Edgar Eduardo Celestino with Vice-President Pedro Renato and 12 additional vereadores serving four-year terms. The institution is supported by a staff of 68 employees across four São Sebastião locations, including the legislative building at Praça Professor Antônio Argino 84 and the administrative building at Rua Capitão Luiz Soares 37.

Its core offerings are citizen-facing digital services rather than commercial products. These include the Portal da Transparência (hosted on GeoSiap, migrated to a unified platform with the Prefeitura under Federal Decree 10.540/2020), the e-SIC system for Lei de Acesso à Informação (Lei 12.527/2011) requests, an online bidding/licitation system, live-streamed legislative sessions on YouTube, the electronic official gazette (DOE), the Ouvidoria Digital complaints portal, the Portal de Proposituras legislative-tracking platform, and the Parlamento Jovem civic-education program. Underlying technology is the Kouncilor platform for website and session management, with cloud infrastructure on DigitalOcean Spaces, HR/payroll handled by Cidade360, accessibility tooling via VLibras, and GPN Group LTDA. acting as contracted data processor under an LGPD/GDPR-aligned privacy policy.

The chamber does not generate commercial revenue. It is funded by duodécimos — mandatory monthly transfers from the municipal executive — with additional nominal revenue from supplier registration fees for bidding participation. Notable recent fiscal-oversight activity includes the unanimous rejection of former mayor Felipe Augusto's 2022 executive accounts via Projeto de Decreto Legislativo nº 18/2026 (June 2026), tied to R$ 1.158 billion in additional credit openings equal to 94.93% of initially budgeted expenses. A digital-modernization initiative, the Programa Legislativo Digital, was approved in July 2026 under Projeto de Resolução nº 04/2026 to implement Federal Lei 14.129/2021.
