Gwangyang City Council Holds Appointment Ceremony for 'Personnel Authority Independence'

Revised Local Autonomy Act Grants Personnel Authority of Council Secretariat Officials to the Council

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seon-sik] On the 13th, the Gwangyang City Council in Jeollanam-do took the first step toward the independence of personnel authority in local councils by awarding appointment letters to 21 employees of the council secretariat.

This appointment letter ceremony was held following the enforcement of the 'Complete Revision of the Local Autonomy Act' on January 13, which grants personnel authority over council secretariat officials to the chairperson of the local council.

Until now, the city council has been preparing for the independence of personnel authority by enacting and revising related autonomous regulations, establishing personnel operation plans, forming a personnel committee, and signing a business agreement with Gwangyang City.

At the appointment letter ceremony, Chairperson Jin Su-hwa urged, "Please renew your determination for citizen happiness so that the Gwangyang City Council can fulfill its role as a representative body of the citizens. Let us work together to make the Gwangyang City Council a more professional and autonomous organization that takes a step forward toward the true realization of local autonomy."
