The First Expanded Executive Meeting of the 8th Elected Administration

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Park Dongsik, mayor of Sacheon City, Gyeongnam, urged executive officials to show responsible dedication and effort toward city administration during the first expanded executive meeting held after the inauguration of the 8th local government.

Mayor Park ordered a thorough review during the detailed implementation planning stage of the 8th local government’s pledges to bring about tangible changes and results in city administration that citizens can feel.

On the 11th, Mayor Park presided over the first expanded executive meeting of the 8th local government, launched under the city administration slogan “A New Start, Happy City Sacheon,” at the city hall’s comprehensive situation room with all executives of grade 5 and above in attendance.

On this day, Mayor Park promised to carry out “active administration by personally visiting” the government and Gyeongnam Province frequently to secure national and provincial funds necessary for promoting large-scale policy projects amid difficult financial conditions.

He also pledged to embody the greatest passion on behalf of Sacheon city officials for communication with citizens and the happiness of citizens’ lives, which he emphasized as his inaugural message.

Mayor Park requested practicing “greeting first” to visiting civil petitioners as communication and mutual understanding with citizens require dialogue and listening, thereby demonstrating respect for citizens.

In particular, he declared that since the city’s development and growth depend on a “working organizational culture,” he will transform the public service culture to one where employees who actively work and strive “for the citizens” without being discouraged by failure are favored.

Additionally, he instructed measures such as attracting tourists through festivals and events like the Jeoneo Festival and Propose event, pre-inspection of disaster-prone areas in preparation for heavy rains and typhoons, and meticulous response to noise damage caused by KF-21 test flights.

Mayor Park said, “The expectations and hopes of citizens for the 8th local government are very high,” and added, “Please dedicate yourselves to your duties with pride that you are the driving force behind Sacheon’s development.”
