[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] The Hapcheon County Council in Gyeongnam opened the 256th extraordinary session on the morning of the 16th in the main conference hall and entered a seven-day session.

During this session, a total of 16 items were submitted, including 15 ordinances such as the "Partial Amendment Ordinance of the Hapcheon County Jeongjo Jeong Committee Ordinance," which requires revision to reflect delegated matters of autonomous regulations according to amendments in higher laws and to supplement deficiencies, and 1 item for hearing the council's opinion. These will be reviewed by the relevant standing committees.

In the plenary session that day, an election was held for the currently vacant position of the second half Industrial Construction Committee Chair, and Assemblyman Kwon Young-sik was elected, having received the majority of votes from all members.

Newly appointed Chair Kwon of the Industrial Construction Committee said, “During the remaining term of about one year, I will work with the committee members to make it the top committee.”

Meanwhile, regarding the ‘Hapcheon County Health Center organizational restructuring,’ Assemblywoman Shin Kyung-ja stated, “As we enter a super-aged society and infectious disease tasks are expected to increase even after the COVID-19 period, the organization must be reborn to provide proactive health administrative services.”

She continued, “Considering the poor infrastructure, which currently lacks even a decent semi-general hospital, it is necessary to reorganize the structure, such as expanding one department, to enable more effective responsible administration of health care, promotion of residents’ health, and disease prevention in the future.”

Chairman Bae Mong-hee, in her opening remarks, said, “Despite busy legislative activities, I expect sincere legislative work to ensure no neglect in maintaining ordinances that form the foundation of county administration,” and urged the executive branch, “Since the county’s autumn nationwide high school soccer tournament coincides with the vacation season, please focus on complying with quarantine guidelines and vaccination to prevent the re-spread of COVID-19.”
