Appointment of 13 Subcommittee Members for ▲Transportation ▲Welfare ▲Redevelopment & Reconstruction ▲Urban Planning to Drive Dongjak-gu Development Completed... Full-Scale Start of Detailed Action Plan Establishment by Sector

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] The ‘District Mayor Transition Committee’ of Park Il-ha, the elected mayor of Dongjak-gu, held its inauguration ceremony and officially began its activities on the 10th at the Noryangjin Youth Job Center (190 Noryangjin-ro, 3rd floor).

The 8th term Dongjak-gu mayor transition committee consists of 15 committee members, 19 advisory members, and 9 dispatched staff. Professor Gu Hye-young of Hanyang Cyber University’s Department of Social Welfare was appointed as the chairperson of the transition committee, and Kim Hyun-sang, former chair of the Welfare and Construction Committee of the Dongjak District Council, was appointed as the vice-chairperson.

Additionally, experts in various administrative fields were appointed as transition committee members and political advisory members, and appointment letters were presented.

This transition committee’s selection is evaluated as having chosen the chairperson and members mainly from external experts capable of implementing key pledges such as ▲the express train stop at Heukseok Station on Line 9 ▲the establishment of a U-turn lane at Gyeongnam Honorsville Apartments in Sindaebang-dong ▲and the execution of Park Il-ha-type redevelopment and reconstruction, without being bound by the existing composition framework. This reflects the elected mayor’s philosophy that the catalyst for change and innovation starts with ‘personnel selection.’

Mayor-elect Park said, “If you look at the members of the transition and advisory committees, you will see that they were selected solely based on expertise and practical ability,” adding, “I ask for your help so that a future blueprint for Dongjak-gu, like a single masterpiece gathering everyone’s opinions, can be produced as soon as possible.”

Reflecting the will of the mayor-elect, a professional administrator, the transition committee plans to focus on developing the vision for the 8th term, resident communication, and field-centered activities in 13 areas: ▲transportation ▲welfare ▲redevelopment and reconstruction ▲urban planning ▲education ▲childcare ▲history and culture ▲jobs and economy ▲personnel organization ▲finance ▲urban rail ▲public relations ▲legal affairs.

First, to present the direction for promoting key pledge projects, the committee will establish detailed execution plans and roadmaps based on collecting residents’ opinions and site visits. From the 13th, through six days of departmental briefings, they will grasp the current status of district administration and assess the effectiveness of ongoing or planned projects.

Mayor-elect Park Il-ha emphasized, “The election result reflects the residents’ desire for new changes in Dongjak,” and stated, “I will devote all my efforts to developing Dongjak-gu into a dynamic and vibrant city.”

He continued, “Above all, I will carefully listen to each difficulty faced by residents and quickly find solutions. Through active consultations with related organizations, tasks that can be resolved within 1 to 2 months will be promptly achieved, and mid-term (6 months to 2 years) and long-term (2 to 4 years) performance plans will be concretized to show tangible results to the residents.”

Meanwhile, the transition committee is scheduled to operate until the 30th. Mayor-elect Park announced that after swiftly grasping pending tasks by the end of June while the committee is active, he plans to operate the district administration with speed immediately upon inauguration.
