[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] The Hapcheon County Council in Gyeongnam held its second plenary session on the morning of the 10th, passing 22 agenda items that had been reviewed by the respective committees and concluding the session.

First, 19 various agenda items, including the 'Consent for Local Tax Reduction for High-End Entertainment Venues to Support COVID-19,' were approved as originally proposed, as amendments to facilitate efficient administrative work and establish support grounds.

Additionally, the 2021 administrative audit plan was approved, with the administrative audit scheduled to be conducted over eight days from November 16 to 23.

However, the 'Partial Amendment to the Ordinance on the Establishment and Operation of the Hapcheon County Facilities Management Corporation' faced objections during the plenary session voting process but was ultimately approved as originally proposed after a vote.

The second supplementary budget proposal for 2021, submitted with an increase of about 25.7 billion KRW compared to the first supplementary budget, totaling approximately 702.3 billion KRW, passed with an amendment that cut 140 million KRW from the construction project of the Daeyang National Sports Center, judging it appropriate to proceed by enhancing its utilization value so that all county residents can use it.

Regarding the on-site verification of major county government projects, it was proposed to rename the Chogye-Jeokjung meteorite impact site as the Hapcheon Meteorite Impact Zone and to take proactive measures such as establishing a tour site to create a favorable environment for securing national and provincial funding in the future. For the Han Young Education Foundation relocation project, it was ordered to conduct thorough inspections during development permit approvals and to establish firm measures including penalty agreements if the project developer fails to proceed.

Assemblyman Lim Chun-ji, who requested a five-minute free speech, urged the prompt initiation of the project, reiterating the development of the Chogye-Jeokjung meteorite impact crater.

Chairman Bae Mong-hee concluded the meeting by saying, “Although we are entering Chuseok, the nation’s biggest holiday, we must pause momentarily to overcome COVID-19,” and added, “During this Chuseok holiday, instead of joyful family gatherings, I hope it will be a holiday that provides sufficient rest to the tired body and mind.”
