Gongju City in Chungnam Province announced on the 2nd that it will implement an organizational restructuring next year, creating 1 new bureau, 2 new divisions, and 4 new teams.

According to the city, this administrative restructuring aims to create a more efficient administrative structure by consolidating similar and overlapping tasks, removing barriers between departments, and strengthening spatial connection and cooperation.

The current three-bureau system?Citizen Autonomy Bureau (7 divisions), Culture and Welfare Bureau (8 divisions), and Economy and Urban Bureau (9 divisions)?will be expanded to a four-bureau system: Autonomy and Safety Bureau (7 divisions), Economy and Culture Bureau (7 divisions), Education and Welfare Bureau (6 divisions), and Construction and Urban Bureau (7 divisions).

Additionally, the city enacted three local ordinances, including the "Gongju City Administrative Organization and Staffing Ordinance," on the 1st, reorganizing the structure into 4 bureaus, 4 offices, 27 divisions, 2 direct agencies (8 divisions), 16 towns and districts, and 226 teams.

The city will also establish an Investment Promotion Office directly under the Deputy Mayor. The head of this office will be designated as an open position, allowing external experts to be responsible for attracting businesses and investments that suit Gongju City's circumstances.

Although the restructuring will add 1 bureau, 2 divisions, and 4 teams, the city will maintain the current number of 1,137 public officials by actively consolidating similar departments and teams and reallocating functions and personnel, in line with the government's policy of freezing staffing levels.

Mayor Choi Woncheol emphasized, "We focused on forming an organization that can proactively respond to changes in the administrative environment and efficiently carry out various tasks."

He added, "All major licensing and civil affairs departments will be located on the first floor, and in particular, the Civil Affairs and Land Division and the Permit and Architecture Division will be placed in the same space to facilitate smooth business sharing and provide one-stop civil service."
