The Regional Secretariat for Equipment and Infrastructure has authorized the creation of a 300 euro petty cash fund for the Regional Civil Engineering Laboratory.
The Regional Secretary for Equipment and Infrastructure, Pedro Alexandre Fagundes de Freitas Rodrigues, has determined, through Order no. 232/2026, the creation of a petty cash fund at the Regional Civil Engineering Laboratory (Service Code 1071).
The fund, endowed with 300.00 EUR, is intended to streamline the payment of small expenses and urgent acquisitions that, due to their specificity, do not align with standard bureaucratic procedures. The amount will be periodically replenished as it is used.
The management of this fund will be the responsibility of technical coordinator Rita Maria Gomes Faria Vasconcelos, with technical assistant Élia Maria Rodrigues serving as the substitute in case of unavailability. Payments must be authorized, on a case-by-case basis, by the Laboratory Director, exclusively for reasons of extreme necessity.
The Regional Government has split the costs of the first phase of improvements to the Emergency Department at Dr. Nélio Mendonça Hospital between 2026 and 2027. The total investment is €1,279,000, plus VAT.
The Region will contribute to investment costs incurred by SMD - Sociedade Metropolitana de Desenvolvimento, S.A., for the project to revitalise the Machico Forum’s infrastructure and facilities. The maximum grant of €1,422,693 will be allocated between 2026 and 2028.
An order revises the annual allocation of costs for the three lots in the procedure for preliminary studies and environmental impact assessments of new road links. The total remains €3.317 million, plus VAT.
