According to the county on the 21st, the committee reviewed a total of six agenda items: local fiscal impact assessment, local fiscal investment review, performance evaluation of fiscal projects, the 2026 subsidy budget proposal, preliminary review of new event and festival budgets, and selection of subsidy recipients for 2025.

The review was attended by eight ex officio and appointed committee members, including Chairman Shin Jongcheol (Head of Sunchang County Branch of the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation), who discussed and deliberated on each agenda item before making decisions.

Major items reviewed at this meeting included the local fiscal impact assessment for three public contest projects each exceeding 10 billion won: the "Sunchang Happy Plus Town Development," "Jangdok Tower Construction," and "Korean Fermented Sauce Culture Education Center Construction." In addition, the committee conducted local fiscal investment reviews for five sports events and projects: the creation of a family-stay rural education facility in Geumgwa-myeon, the establishment of a Microbial Agricultural Bioindustry District, and national youth baseball and soft tennis tournaments.

The local subsidy budget proposal for next year, which was submitted as a key agenda item, covers a total of 380 projects with a budget of approximately 23.7 billion won, including support for private ongoing business subsidies, social welfare project subsidies, and educational support across various fields.

Prior to this, the county had explained its policy direction and gathered diverse opinions through meetings with social organizations and crop production groups.

A county official stated, "Before allocating the annual budget, the committee's review process for major investment projects and subsidy allocation plans is a crucial procedure to enhance the soundness of local finances and the transparency of budget execution. We will continue to strengthen preliminary reviews and evaluations to ensure that residents' tax money is used efficiently."
