[Wando＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyung-pil] On the 23rd, Wando-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that it selected three ‘Outstanding Public Officials for Proactive Administration in the Second Half of the Year’ on the 21st to promote a culture of proactive administration and boost morale.

The outstanding public officials for proactive administration are selected based on Article 13 of the ‘Local Public Officials Proactive Administration Operation Regulations’ and Article 3 of the ‘Wando-gun Proactive Administration Operation Ordinance,’ according to the ‘2021 Wando-gun Proactive Administration Implementation Plan.’

The county received recommendations for six outstanding public officials who contributed creatively and proactively to regulatory innovation, resolving civil complaints or resident conflicts, improving the quality of public services, discovering and promoting new policies, and producing results.

After combining the results of the first practical committee review (30%) and the second Wando-gun Proactive Administration Committee review (70%), three outstanding cases were finally selected, and outstanding public officials were chosen.

Joo Jeong-hwa, a public official of the Urban Regeneration Team in the Regional Development Division, was able to save about 2.1 billion KRW in budget by promoting the county management plan early in the dedicated Urban Regeneration Team to establish a comprehensive and rational land use plan regarding the issue of individual service projects by department.

Park Seol-hee, a public official of the Market Development Team in the Fisheries Management Division, was recognized for her achievement in contributing to securing export contracts worth about 17 billion KRW by holding an online export consultation meeting to resolve difficulties faced by local companies after overseas export consultation meetings and exhibitions were completely canceled due to COVID-19.

Jang Gil-seong, a public official of the Fisheries Team in Nohwa-eup, was selected as an outstanding public official for proactive administration by saving budget through separating marine waste disposal and removing foreign substances attached to waste, and by improving fishermen’s awareness that ‘marine waste disposal is not only done by the administration but also together with fishermen,’ thereby inducing voluntary participation in marine waste disposal.

Outstanding public officials for proactive administration will be given incentives such as prize money, a one-grade increase in performance bonuses, additional points for achievements, and reward leave.

Public officials who were recommended as proactive administration officials but were not finally selected will also be highly evaluated for their efforts and granted reward leave.

Bong Jin-moon, Deputy Governor of the Wando-gun Proactive Administration Committee, stated, “We will provide exceptional incentives to outstanding public officials for proactive administration to spread the culture of proactive administration, and we hope that through proactive administration, residents will build trust in the administration and take more interest in it.”
