Isuhee, Gangdong-gu Mayor, Leads Discussion-Style Executive Meeting in 8th Term to Address Municipal Issues

[Seoul District News] Gangdong-gu Initiates Focused Discussion in Executive Meetings to Address Public Welfare and District Issues
Brainstorming Attempt to Explore Communication Enhancement with Residents as First Discussion Topic

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Gangdong-gu (Mayor Lee Soo-hee) announced that, in the wake of the 8th local government term, it will improve the existing executive meeting format to a discussion-based style and hold executive meetings every other Friday each month.

This was proposed by Mayor Lee Soo-hee from the start of the mayoral transition committee activities as a means to closely examine key policy projects, local government issues, and residents' inconveniences.

The discussion-based meetings aim to activate communication among staff, attempt integrated functions by department, and ultimately enhance the convenience for residents and administrative efficiency.

While previous executive meetings were limited to general work reports, the 8th term executive meetings will be reorganized into a discussion format where all attending executives freely present opinions and communicate on campaign promises, departmental issues, and major local government-related topics.

At the first discussion topic on the 22nd, titled "Strengthening Communication with Residents," a proposal was made to create a "Communicating Mayor" section on the district website to enhance the online mayor's office function.

Through the revamped executive meetings in the 8th term, the district expects to actively derive solutions to various local issues, achieve interdepartmental work consultations, improve administrative efficiency, and further strengthen horizontal work exchanges.

Mayor Lee Soo-hee stated, "Before promoting any project, fact-checking must precede by verifying stakeholders' claims by issue," and added, "The civil servants' consideration of what administration for residents means will be the first step toward vigorous change in the 8th term. We will continuously promote discussion-based staff meetings, thoroughly address livelihood and local government issues, and present practical and creative administration for residents."
