[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] On the 17th, Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam announced that it held an ordinance and regulation review committee meeting and revised and approved the ordinance on the establishment and operation of the Facility Management Corporation by reflecting the opinions of the council and residents regarding the downsizing of the project.

This ordinance is scheduled to be approved at the temporary session of the county council held from the 18th to the 31st.

Since the rapid increase in public facilities in the county, the county has been promoting the establishment of a Facility Management Corporation since 2016 to solve the problem of the current administrative capacity's limitations in solidifying facility management operations and failing to meet residents' demands.

The establishment of the corporation is a plan to maximize the utilization efficiency of public facilities by introducing private enterprise management philosophies and techniques that are difficult for public officials to adopt, and by establishing and operating a corporation that can simultaneously realize publicness and corporate characteristics.

The county conducted a feasibility study by the Local Public Enterprise Evaluation Institute from December 2016 to May 2017.

As a result, the establishment of the Facility Management Corporation was deemed feasible, and through the establishment review committee meeting for the establishment of the county facility management corporation (November 24, 2017), the final decision on the establishment was made for 67 facilities in 3 sectors.

Previously, the county made sufficient efforts to gather residents' opinions and build consensus through residents' briefings and meetings with town and township chiefs to address the reasons for the rejection of the corporation establishment ordinance at the county council.

A county official stated, “To more intensively manage and operate Daebongsan Recreation Valley, which will be used as the second venue for the 2021 Hamyang Sansam Anti-Aging Expo scheduled for September, the establishment of the Facility Management Corporation is more urgent than ever.” He added, “After the establishment of the corporation, it is expected to greatly contribute to improving residents' convenience and welfare by integrating management with expertise and efficiency for Daebongsan Recreation Valley.”
