[Naju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Naju City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Kang In-gyu) recently launched the "4th Citizen Communication Committee" (hereinafter referred to as the Communication Committee) at the city hall's main conference room and appointed 30 members across 3 subcommittees, the city announced on the 14th.

The Communication Committee has served as a bridge for public-private communication by collecting citizens' demands and wishes regarding overall city administration, conveying them to the administration, and deriving improvement measures.

The 4th Communication Committee consists of three subcommittees: "Happy Naju," "Healthy Naju," and "Prosperous Naju," with 10 members in each subcommittee serving a two-year term.

The committee gathers voices from various sectors related to each subcommittee's area and conveys and reflects them to the relevant departments through subcommittee meetings (once a month), executive committee meetings (once a quarter), and regular meetings (once every six months).

Through the election of executives, Lee Yun-seop (66 years old, male, Bitgaram-dong) was elected as co-chairman, and the chairpersons of the three subcommittees were elected as Kim Jae-jun (65 years old, male, Seji-myeon), Han Yoon-sik (39 years old, male, Bitgaram-dong), and Kim Yang-soon (55 years old, female, Geumnam-dong), respectively.

Mayor Kang In-gyu, who attended the appointment ceremony, said, "I expect the Communication Committee to actively work so that the demands and wishes of 120,000 citizens, who are the owners of city administration, can be realistically reflected in the administration," and added, "We will actively cooperate so that the Communication Committee can faithfully play the role of discovering voices in communication blind spots."

Co-chairman Lee Yun-seop also pledged, "Along with the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, there are many large and small local issues," and said, "We will do our best with the committee members to meticulously and broadly collect opinions from civil society that the administration's reach cannot cover."
