Gimcheon City Doubles 'Department Head's Final Approval Authority'... "Implementing Proactive Administration at the Nation's Highest Level"

Reduction of Market Approval Authority from 7% to 3%... Strengthening 'Responsible Administration' Centered on Department Heads and Section Chiefs

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongwook Park] Gimcheon City, Gyeongbuk Province (Mayor Kim Chung-seop) announced on the 4th that it has revised and promulgated the 'Office Approval Processing Rules' to improve the approval line for work processing, enhance the quality of civil administrative services, and operate city administration efficiently.

Before the 7th elected term, the mayor's approval authority accounted for 7% of all Gimcheon City tasks, and the vice mayor's final approval authority was 9%. However, through this revision, the mayor's approval authority and the vice mayor's final approval authority were significantly lowered to around 3% and 6%, respectively.

The reduced approval and final approval authorities were granted to department heads and team leaders at more than twice the previous levels, enabling more responsible and proactive administration, according to Gimcheon City.

Additionally, for civil service tasks that are simple, repetitive, and require prompt handling, a regulation was newly established allowing the person in charge to process and approve immediately.

Lee Dong-hyung, Director of the General Affairs Saemaeul Division of Gimcheon City, said, "This revision of the rules will serve as an opportunity for employees to carry out proactive and responsible administration," and added, "We will continue to devise various measures to create a working public service culture that prioritizes citizens."
