Korea Council of Provincial and Metropolitan Council Chairpersons Receives 'Outstanding Legislative Award'

Gwangju Metropolitan City Council members Kang Su-hoon, Park Pil-soon, Shim Cheol-ui, and Lee Myung-no received the "15th Excellent Legislative Award" from the Korea Council of Chairs of City and Provincial Councils on the 18th.

Councilor Kang Su-hoon, serving as a member of the Industry and Construction Committee, submitted a proposal titled "Request for Amendment of the Outdoor Advertising Act to Improve Management of Political Party Banners" to the Council Chairs' Operating Committee to rectify the issue of illegal political party banners that caused safety and environmental problems for citizens, successfully achieving a legal amendment.

He conducted field-centered legislative activities such as continuously discovering neighborhood commercial districts considering local characteristics and creating opportunities to explore policies for fostering strong small business owners in the Gwangju model through digital transformation education suitable for the Fourth Industrial Revolution era.

Councilor Park Pil-soon, active in the Administrative and Autonomy Committee, reviewed the city’s climate policies and proposed new policies. Through the so-called "Green Job Creation and Support Package Ordinance," she proposed and revised six ordinances to establish institutional grounds for green job creation policies and project implementation.

She actively engaged in legislative activities by frequently holding policy seminars on topics such as energy, transportation, architecture, and agriculture to connect council research group results with administration.

Councilor Shim Cheol-ui, serving on the Education and Culture Committee, worked to improve the educational environment by not only distributing smart devices to students but also establishing a stable wireless network.

He led autonomous legislative activities to enhance citizens’ quality of life by representing ordinances such as the "Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education Suicide Prevention and Life Respect Culture Promotion Ordinance" and the "Village Bus Support Ordinance," which addresses the severe financial crisis.

Councilor Lee Myung-no, active in the Environment and Welfare Committee, actively advocated for the rights of socially vulnerable groups, addressing issues such as mobility rights for the disabled, integrated care projects for severely developmentally disabled individuals, and neglected muscular dystrophy patients.

He carried out legislative activities to improve citizens’ welfare by urging measures to protect young people from large-scale jeonse fraud, forming a consultative body to improve the water quality of Pungam Lake, and proposing alternatives to solve problems together with residents.

Meanwhile, the "Excellent Legislative Award" was established in 2014 by the Korea Council of Chairs of City and Provincial Councils to discover and disseminate outstanding legislative activities carried out by city and provincial council members nationwide. It is awarded annually to councilors who have made significant contributions to regional development through proactive legislative activities.
