The 260th Extraordinary Session, 1st Plenary Meeting

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] The Hapcheon County Council in Gyeongnam opened the 260th extraordinary session on the 17th, marking the start of this year's first session.

This session, scheduled for six days, will review eight agenda items, including the full revision of the Hapcheon County Local Public Officials Service Ordinance submitted by the Hapcheon County Governor and the 2022 shared property management amendment plan.

In his opening remarks, Chairman Bae Mong-hee said, "In the new year of the Year of the Black Tiger, I hope everyone will unite to end COVID-19 and take a step forward into a new future."

At the plenary session, Councilor Shin Myung-gi, who applied for a five-minute free speech, urged, "Our county should proactively establish the Han-Wol Friendship Park, which can serve as a bridge for friendly relations between Korea and Vietnam, and use it as an opportunity to escape from the risk of extinction."

The second speaker, Councilor Jang Jin-young, stated, "Policy establishment and budget execution based on administrative convenience and civil complaints have lowered the efficiency of budget use, causing public criticism and administrative distrust. We should not rely solely on central government statistics that are detached from our county's realities but establish a statistical organization under the county and secure professional personnel to improve budget efficiency."

Lastly, Councilor Lim Chun-ji said, "Let us overcome the extinction crisis by having a positive mindset that Hapcheon is a land of infinite opportunities and by discovering tourism resources unique to Hapcheon, such as meteorite impact sites."
