[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] The Changwon City Council in Gyeongnam held the first chairman's meeting of the Year of the Black Tiger on the 3rd.

At the meeting held in the chairman's office, they discussed the schedule for the 111th Changwon City Council extraordinary session, the inauguration ceremony of the Changwon Special City Council, welfare facility visits for Lunar New Year greetings, and multi-child criteria in local ordinances.

Before the plenary session convenes on the 13th, it was decided to hold a commemorative ceremony to celebrate the start of the Changwon Special City Council with citizens and to enhance the council's status following the independence of personnel authority in local councils.

First, a flag-raising ceremony will be held with all council members at the main gate of the council, and the chairman and the mayor will unveil a symbol of the Special City Council on the bridge connecting the council and city hall.

Next, to ensure that welfare facilities in the district have a warm and abundant Lunar New Year, council members from each district will deliver consolation goods while adhering to quarantine guidelines and encourage the related personnel.

Finally, it was pointed out that the different multi-child discount criteria in each local ordinance cause confusion among citizens and conflict with population and birth policies. They agreed to recommend the executive branch to comprehensively analyze the cost estimates and financial conditions of the relevant departments following ordinance amendments and to prepare a unified multi-child discount standard plan on an annual basis.

Chairman Lee Chi-woo said, "Thanks to the great interest and support of the citizens, the Changwon Special City Council will newly launch on the 13th," and added, "In the Year of the Black Tiger, we will prioritize overcoming COVID-19 and stabilizing people's livelihoods, becoming a council that communicates with citizens and is trusted."
