Gyeongsan City Council is awarding appointment letters following the independence of personnel authority.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yeo Jong-gu] The Gyeongsan City Council in Gyeongbuk awarded the first appointment letters to council staff on the 12th following the independence of personnel authority within the council.

In accordance with the full revision of the Local Autonomy Act, the city council issued appointment letters on the 13th to five public officials appointed as council staff.

Additionally, among the seven policy support officers who assist council members' legislative activities such as collecting, investigating, and researching legislative data and drafting or revising ordinances, three will be newly hired this year.

With the independence of personnel authority in local councils this year, it has become possible to recruit specialized policy support personnel, marking the beginning of a full-fledged era of local autonomy and decentralization under the Local Autonomy Act.

Chairman Lee Gi-dong stated, “With the enforcement of the revised Local Autonomy Act, the autonomy and responsibility of local councils have been strengthened, and we will move forward as true representatives of the people's will toward a practical era of local autonomy and decentralization.”
