Team Leader Kim Seung-seop operated the first disaster command vehicle equipped with a drone in a local government, enabling rapid connection between the disaster site and the control room during emergencies, and established a close cooperative system with disaster response agencies such as the police and fire departments.

Officer Park Mi-hwa contributed to activating multi-child support policies by easing the criteria for multi-child families from three children to two, improving convenience in using multi-child support funds through the establishment of a mobile app card and discovering private businesses that support multi-child families, and expanding the eligibility for childbirth support funds from the third child to the first child.

Additionally, Team Leader Joo Jong-hyun contributed to revitalizing the local economy by operating night boat rides for the first time on the West Coast during the boating festival; Team Leader Choi Hyun-sook achieved the designation of Hwaseong City as the only 3rd phase Education Internationalization Special Zone in Gyeonggi Province; Team Leader Yoo Jin-young resolved complaints regarding the installation of green passageways in apartment complexes by establishing internal standards; and Officer Choi Chang-min reduced the distribution of uninsured ghost cars registered under foreigners’ names through uninsured planned investigations and ex officio cancellations, all of whom were named recipients of the Encouragement Award.

The city plans to provide the selected employees with benefits such as the highest grade of performance bonuses, special leave, personnel evaluation points, and prize money.

Jung Myung-geun, Mayor of Hwaseong City, said, "This is a time when the role of public officials who actively and creatively solve problems by breaking away from conventions is important," and added, "I hope this selection will serve as an opportunity to encourage and motivate the culture of proactive administration within the public service."
