Suncheon City Council, Closing of the 252nd 1st Regular Session

Approval of Last Year's Financial Statements and Other Resolutions

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] The Suncheon City Council in Jeollanam-do (Chairman Heo Yu-in) held the 2nd plenary session of the 1st regular meeting of the 252nd session on the 11th, passing 27 agenda items including the ‘approval of last year’s settlement’ and concluding the 11-day regular meeting schedule.

At the plenary session, the agenda item ‘Recommendation of members for the Suncheon City Clean-up Environment Center Site Selection Committee’ was presented, recommending a total of four resident representatives, one each from Jusam-myeon Gusan, Seomyeon Geoncheon and Gusaeng, and Woldeung-myeon Songchi district, as site selection committee members.

Additionally, the ‘Plan for the abolition of use and disposal of public property’ for the construction of half-price rental apartments (Happy Housing), which was decided not to be submitted to the plenary session by the Administrative Autonomy Committee at the previous 251st extraordinary session, was brought to the plenary session upon the request of more than one-third of the total members and passed after heated debate.

Chairman Heo Yu-in, in his closing remarks, stated, “The minimization of carryover and unexecuted balances, which was discussed in this settlement review, has been pointed out every year but remains uncorrected,” and urged, “Public officials should carefully consider the opinions presented by the council members in the standing committee so that such issues do not recur, and ensure they are reflected in next year’s budget formulation.”

Regarding the site selection for the Clean-up Environment Center, he referred to the case of the Jusam-myeon Resource Circulation Center completed in 2014, and requested, “As has been done so far, rather than unilateral promotion by the city, even if it takes a little longer, sufficient communication and consultation with residents should be carried out.”

Concerning the Suncheonman Garden Market, he said, “The reason for the severe conflicts over the establishment of the Suncheonman Garden Market was that the city did not communicate in advance with the small business owners, who are stakeholders, nor reflect their opinions,” and recommended, “In future business promotion, communication and consultation with small business owners should be conducted in advance, considering their difficulties.”

Meanwhile, the 8th term second half of the Suncheon City Council, which marks its first anniversary, plans to hold the 253rd extraordinary session on the 9th of next month to conduct ‘this year’s business promotion status report’ and other matters.
