Pocheon City, Gyeonggi Province (Mayor Baek Young-hyun) announced on the 29th that it has selected 12 outstanding public officials for proactive administration in the first half of 2024.

Pocheon City conducted a preliminary review of a total of 14 exemplary cases of proactive administration and selected 9 candidates. Through the final presentation evaluation, 1 grand prize, 1 excellence award, 1 encouragement award, and 3 special awards were chosen.

The grand prize was awarded to Park Jin-woo, an administrative officer in the Information and Communication Division, and Kwak Young-nam, an administrative officer in the Permit Division. They established a permit practical consultation system based on the spatial information GIS system, improving the previous offline method where related documents were physically brought to each department for manual consultation during development permit discussions to an online consultation system. This simplified unnecessary administrative procedures and significantly shortened the civil complaint processing period.

The excellence award was given to administrative officer Lee Jong-shin and team leader Kim Ho-gyeom for their case titled "Proactive Snow Removal Measures and Encouraging Resident Participation! The Safest Pocheon in Gyeonggi Province during Winter!" The encouragement award was given to administrative officer Ahn Hyun-seung and team leader Ahn So-hyun for their case "Securing Pocheon City's First Indoor Badminton Exclusive Court."

The special awards were given for the following cases: ▲ administrative officers Lee Seul-hee and Jang Dong-gu for "One-Stop Resident Registration Reissuance Service," ▲ administrative officers Lee Seul-hee and Yoo Seon-ah for "Discovering Cultural Nuri Card Usage Locations and Revitalizing the Local Economy 'Let's Travel with Cultural Nuri'," and ▲ team leader Jang Si-young and administrative officer Lee Dae-seop for "Operating the Architectural Civil Complaint Office Close to Citizens."

The selected outstanding public officials for proactive administration will receive various incentives including certificates, additional points in work performance evaluations, the highest grade in performance bonuses, special leave, and additional points for overseas backpacking training.

Mayor Baek Young-hyun of Pocheon City said, "I hope these exemplary cases of proactive administration will lead to change and development in Pocheon City," and added, "We will spare no institutional support to enable swift and flexible administration."
