Goheung County Council, 307th Extraordinary Session Closed

Statement Urging Cancellation of Claim for Reimbursement of Rescue Costs for Late Captain Kim Hong-bin

Deliberation and Resolution of 14 Items Including Partial Amendment Ordinance on Residents' Ordinance Proposal

[Goheung=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Shim Jeong-woo] The Goheung County Council in Jeollanam-do (Chairman Lee Jae-hak) concluded the 11-day schedule of the 307th extraordinary session with the 7th plenary meeting on the 28th.

During this extraordinary session, the council deliberated and resolved 14 agenda items (11 approved as originally proposed, 3 approved with amendments), including ▲ the report on the major administrative tasks performance for the first half of 2022 ▲ a statement urging the cancellation of the claim for reimbursement of rescue costs for the late Captain Kim Hong-bin ▲ partial amendment of the ordinance concerning residents' initiative in Goheung County, among others.

In the report on the major administrative tasks performance for the first half of 2022, each department engaged in in-depth Q&A sessions to review and analyze the achievements and plans of key projects, providing an opportunity to examine the future direction of county administration and establish individual council members' future legislative activity directions and strategies.

Additionally, a statement urging the cancellation of the claim for reimbursement of rescue costs for the late Captain Kim Hong-bin was issued to commemorate the deceased who brought national prestige, calling on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to immediately withdraw the lawsuit for the claim and advocating for the revision of the consular assistance law, which is disconnected from reality.

Vice Chairman Kim Min-yeol, while closing the extraordinary session, emphasized, “We will actively communicate with both the executive branch and the residents with an open attitude,” and urged, “The executive branch should actively reflect the improvements and policies proposed by the council during the task report, as they represent the will of the residents, through thorough review.”
