[Hampyeong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Hampyeong County selected public officials who changed lives from the perspective of residents and promoted proactive and innovative administration as outstanding proactive public officials.

On the 2nd, Hampyeong County, Jeollanam-do announced that it selected four public officials who produced tangible results for residents as outstanding proactive public officials for the first half of 2021 and awarded them at the regular September assembly held that morning.

In this award ceremony, Hampyeong County Governor Lee Sang-ik personally presented certificates and encouraged four outstanding public officials who achieved results by promoting proactive administration with a creative and challenging attitude.

The outstanding proactive public officials were selected through a comprehensive evaluation of resident satisfaction, the proactiveness, creativity, and expertise of the person in charge, the importance and difficulty of the task, and the potential for dissemination.

Among 16 cases submitted through department recommendations, four were finally selected after the first practical review and the second review and resolution by the Hampyeong County Personnel Committee.

The ‘Grand Prize’ was awarded to Kim Kwang-ho, Livestock Hygiene Team Leader of the Livestock and Fisheries Division, who contributed to regulatory innovation by revising the Livestock Rearing Restriction Ordinance based on the Ministry of Environment’s authoritative interpretation, allowing the installation of livestock barns and composting facilities, and enabling support projects for livestock manure treatment composting facilities, considering the urgent need for expanding composting facilities due to the implementation of compost maturity standards.

The ‘Excellence Award’ went to Wi Dae-han, General Officer of the Festival Expo Office (Local Greenery Clerk under General Term Appointment), who significantly reduced the budget for planting various trees through direct management in the Hampyeong Cheonji-gil creation project at Expo Park; Song Jin-hyun, General Officer of Hampyeong-eup (Assistant Local Administrative Officer), who promoted taxi and charter bus transportation measures for the convenience of COVID-19 vaccination for seniors aged 75 and older; and Seo Jeong-gyun, General Officer of the Health Center (Assistant Local Medical Technology Officer), who proactively responded to block the spread of COVID-19 variants.

Governor Lee Sang-ik said, “We will regularly select outstanding proactive public officials who achieve results that residents can feel beyond routine administration and provide incentives. We will strive to establish a proactive administration system throughout the public service where employees with a sense of ownership are favored, thereby improving the quality of life for residents.”

Meanwhile, the selection of outstanding proactive public officials in Hampyeong County is conducted twice a year, in the first and second halves, targeting all employees (including public officials and non-regular workers).

The county provides at least one incentive among eight items, including special promotion, highest grade performance bonus, transfer to desired department, and special leave, to the finally selected outstanding public officials.
