Icheon City "Residents Solve Village Issues Themselves"... Eup-Myeon-Dong Residents' General Assembly Held
Decisions on Autonomous Plans and Resident Participation Budgets
Gyeonggi-do Icheon City announced on the 30th that it will hold the 'Eupmyeondong Residents' General Assembly' until September 10th, where residents directly discover village-level projects and solve problems.
The Residents' General Assembly is a public forum where the Residents' Autonomy Committee decides on the major plans for the village to be promoted the following year through voting. The Residents' Autonomy Committee is a resident representative organization at the eup, myeon, and dong level, responsible for discovering village projects and establishing autonomy plans. The city explained that Seolseong-myeon and Moga-myeon held general assemblies on the 12th and 19th respectively, and the remaining 12 eup, myeon, and dong will hold general assemblies sequentially.
The second term Residents' Autonomy Committees of the 14 eup, myeon, and dong formed this year will decide by vote not only on the 'autonomy plan' agenda proposed after collecting residents' opinions at the Residents' General Assembly but also on the 'autonomy plan-type resident participation budget' proposed by residents. Each eup, myeon, and dong is allocated 60 million KRW for the 'autonomy plan-type resident participation budget.' The agendas finally selected through the general assembly will be included in the next year's autonomy plan execution budget and resident participation budget.
Kim Kyung-hee, Mayor of Icheon City, said, "The Residents' General Assembly is the smallest unit that democratically decides various opinions of local residents," adding, "I hope that the precious budget will be used in places where it is truly needed throughout the village."
