Contribution to On-Site Administration Felt by Residents Including Vaccine Incentive Payments

[Boseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Park Cheon-seok] Boseong County announced on the 30th that it has selected three outstanding public officials for proactive administration and county government innovation in the first half of this year.

The Excellence Award went to Jeong Mi-ran, Head of Infectious Disease Management at the Health Center (Health Grade 6), the Encouragement Award to Kim Hyun-kyung, Officer of Boseong-eup (Nursing Grade 8), and Yoon Sang-chul, Officer of the Finance Department (Facility Grade 6).

Jeong Mi-ran, who received the Excellence Award, promoted the enactment of an ordinance related to incentives for COVID-19 vaccination, the first of its kind nationwide, to increase the vaccination rate.

Through this, a system was established to provide Boseong Love Gift Certificates worth 20,000 KRW per person to citizens who completed vaccination, leading to the highest vaccination rate in Jeollanam-do and showing a high vaccination rate.

As of the 30th, the county surpassed a 90.1% first-dose vaccination rate and a 74.3% completion rate for the second dose among those aged 18 and over.

Kim Hyun-kyung of Boseong-eup, who received the Encouragement Award, attracted the Jeollanam-do Social Innovation Contest project and promoted the "Sharing! Happiness Together, a Hearty Meal! Side Dish Support Service" project.

This project delivers side dishes once a week to elderly living alone with mobility difficulties and households in welfare blind spots, and through operating a sharing refrigerator, distributes donated food and beverages to local children's centers and underprivileged families.

Yoon Sang-chul of the Finance Department implemented the "Creating Unique Eup/Myeon Office Buildings" contest project, establishing outdoor rest areas and open cafes at eup/myeon offices. This created safe communication spaces for residents to interact and provided venues for local promotion and education.

These outstanding proactive administration public officials receive personnel incentives such as additional points on work performance evaluations or reward leave, as well as prize money, according to their preference.

The selection of outstanding public officials for proactive administration and county government innovation in the first half of this year was conducted through practical evaluation of proactiveness, creativity, and expertise among department nominees, online public evaluation, staff voting, and final review by the Proactive Administration Committee.

A county official said, "We will strive to implement field-centered administration that citizens can feel through creative and proactive administration in the rapidly changing administrative environment due to COVID-19 and other factors."

Meanwhile, last year, Boseong County was the only institution in the Honam region selected as an excellent institution in the "Comprehensive Evaluation of Proactive Administration by Local Governments" hosted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, and won the Excellence Award at the Jeollanam-do Proactive Administration Best Practices Competition.
