Goiânia implements administrative and security reforms

The municipal government of Goiânia has introduced several legislative and administrative measures aimed at urban organization and public service reform. The City Council approved a proposal in its first round of voting to transform the Metropolitan Civil Guard (GCM) into a Municipal Police force. While the agents will remain civil, uniformed, and armed, the project explicitly prohibits them from performing judicial police duties, such as criminal investigations, which remain the jurisdiction of state and federal authorities.

In terms of labor and finance, Mayor Sandro Mabel announced updates to the city's payroll consignment system to combat over-indebtedness among civil servants. The new rules aim to limit debt to 30% of net income and establish interest rate caps. Additionally, the City Council approved a salary restructuring plan for approximately 2,600 administrative education workers, with gradual implementation scheduled through 2030.

Urban management efforts have also seen results in the Região da 44, where intensified inspections and street vendor reorganization have reportedly led to a 78% decrease in thefts and a reduction in commercial property vacancy rates. Meanwhile, the administration is preparing a project to update the Municipal Tax Code and has released a priority list for parliamentary amendments to fund health, infrastructure, and cultural projects.
