Imsil-gun Wins 'Prime Minister's Award' at Active Administration Best Practice Competition

[Imsil=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Nosik] Imsil-gun, Jeonbuk announced on the 25th that it won the Prime Minister's Award at the 'Active Administration Best Practice Competition' jointly hosted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, the Ministry of Personnel Management, and the Office for Government Policy Coordination held at the Government Sejong Complex on the 24th.

This competition was held targeting administrative agencies such as central administrative agencies and local governments to innovate public service culture through active administration and to implement the principles of national administration based on national interest, practicality, fairness, and common sense.

In the local government category, the top five cases that passed the first and second preliminary rounds advanced to the final round of the competition. After the final case presentations, the final rankings were determined through on-site evaluations by private experts, online live public voting, and prior screening by the national jury.

The county won the Prime Minister's Award for the case titled "Nothing to Throw Away... Turning Waste Soil into Useful Soil to Save Budget."

This excellent case presented a public-use method for excavated soil (waste soil) generated at construction sites, receiving high evaluations from the judges for significantly reducing the budget through creative work promotion that deviated from conventional work methods.

While promoting the Osu 2nd Agricultural and Industrial Complex development project, the county established a preliminary plan for the utilization of fill material and used the excavated soil as fill material for public projects.

Excavated soil from construction work cannot be dumped anywhere, and soil disposal sites must also be permitted.

During the review stage of the local industrial complex plan for the Osu 2nd Agricultural and Industrial Complex construction, the demand for fill material was predicted and reflected, and approval was obtained to use the excavated soil from the construction site as fill material for other public projects.

This resulted in a twofold effect of saving a large budget associated with the selection process of soil disposal and extraction sites and shortening the construction period.

Through the establishment of a preliminary plan, the county provided 160,000 cubic meters of excavated soil to 19 project sites, including the Osu Park Golf Course construction, agricultural and industrial complex connecting road construction, and Imsil Cheese Theme Park European-style rose garden project, saving 1.514 billion KRW in budget.

This achievement is evaluated to be due to the passionate work of Jeong Ilbeom, head of the Economic Transportation and Corporate Job Team, and the active administrative efforts of public officials.

Through this award, the county secured a special grant of 50 million KRW and has also been selected as an excellent institution for two consecutive years in the government innovation evaluation.

County Governor Shim Min said, "This achievement is the result of continuous efforts by all county public officials to carry out active administration that residents can feel," and added, "We will continue to actively support public officials to promote work with a creative and challenging attitude to enhance the convenience of residents and public interest."
