### Ensenada Approves 2025 Revenue and Budget Plans; Plans to Lease 80 Police Vehicles
In a significant move for the municipality of Ensenada, local councilors have approved the 2025 Revenue Law and Budget Plan with a total amount of 3,042,706,391 pesos. The approval came during an extraordinary session with a majority vote tally of 11 in favor, 3 against, and one abstention. The Commission of Treasury and Municipal Heritage presented the ruling which also included the approval of the proposed unitary cadastral values for land and construction for property taxes.
A noteworthy aspect of the budget is the decision to lease 80 patrol vehicles for the Municipal Public Security Directorate (DSPM). This initiative is aimed at enhancing patrolling services across Ensenada. The lease agreement will remain in effect until September 30, 2027. The process will adhere to the Public Tender Procedure as per acquisition, leasing, and contracting services regulations for the municipality.
The mayor, Claudia Agatón Muñiz, noted that leasing instead of purchasing these vehicles would save the government approximately 33 million pesos. This strategic decision emphasizes a more cost-effective approach to bolstering security measures within Ensenada.
