In addition, the committee conducted the overall meeting, communication sessions, and reviewed agenda items related to the Resident Participatory Budget proposal project recruitment plan and the operation committee.

The Resident Participatory Budget system is a system that guarantees citizen participation in the budget formulation process and increases budget transparency.

The city plans to recruit proposals for the Resident Participatory Budget projects from April 29 to June 7, and any Sacheon citizen can participate through the city website or by visiting in person.

Submitted proposals will be reviewed by the relevant departments and the Resident Participatory Budget organization meetings before final selection, and will be included in next year’s budget.

Chairman Kim Seong-gyu said, “Since the Resident Participatory Budget system is a system that allows residents to consider local issues on their own, we ask for active participation from residents so that many projects closely related to residents’ lives can be discovered.”
