[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Wook] On the 27th, Miryang City in Gyeongnam selected two “Outstanding Public Officials for Active Administration in the Second Half of 2022” who creatively and proactively carried out their duties to achieve results for the development of city administration and the improvement of citizen convenience.

Outstanding cases recommended by each department underwent a first round of online citizen evaluation, considering citizen perception, the importance and difficulty of the tasks, the officials’ proactiveness, creativity, expertise, and the potential for policy dissemination. Then, a second round of practical review by public officials and a deliberation by the personnel committee led to the final selection of two individuals.

The outstanding public officials selected were Kim Jong-ho, an administrative officer in the Construction Division, and Kim Jeong-gon, in charge of tourism facilities in the Tourism Promotion Division. They will receive commendations and monetary awards, as well as exceptional incentives such as the highest grade of performance bonuses and additional points for achievements.

Officer Kim restored Danjangcheon, which had been exposed to various pollutants, into an ecological stream, improving water quality and creating waterfront spaces to enhance residents’ quality of life.

Officer Kim promoted the “Samrangjin Nakdong Sunset Digital Tower Construction Project,” installing a regionally specialized landmark observation tower in Samrangjin-eup, Miryang, which is expected to attract tourists and revitalize the local economy.

Mayor Park Il-ho stated, “In an era of rapid change, breaking away from conventions and pursuing active and creative administration is a very important role of public officials directly linked to citizens’ happiness. We will continue to discover active administration initiatives to resolve citizen inconveniences and strengthen support by providing personnel incentives to officials who achieve results.”
