Liquidation of the 2019 budget
The settlement of the 2019 budget closed with a cumulative saving of 2,849,000 euros, reflecting a positive balance for the City Council. Both the government team and the opposition showed satisfaction with this result, although the need for a greater commitment to public services in the budget was highlighted.
Budget modifications

The new Ter Institute
At this meeting, Manlleu City Council ceded the land where the new Institut del Ter will be built to the Generalitat de Catalunya.
