Sejong Special Self-Governing City Hall.

On November 24, Sejong City announced that it had selected the case of utilizing underused parking lots as garages for rental cars, thereby contributing to an increase in local tax revenue, as the best proactive administration case for the second half of this year.

For the second half of this year, the city selected one best proactive administration case, three excellent cases, and four encouragement cases, and also chose 22 outstanding public officials.

The excellent cases were selected through deliberation and resolution by the Proactive Administration Committee, targeting cases that had passed the preliminary review. The best case was awarded to the Taxation Division’s effort to attract large-scale long-term rental car businesses, which opened a new path for expanding local tax revenue.

It is estimated that by the end of this year, the city will see an increase of 3 billion won in acquisition tax and an annual increase of 90 million won in automobile tax, achieving tangible results in boosting revenue.

The excellent cases included: ▲Turning defects into opportunities! Dodori Park saves budget and improves quality! ▲Sejong City leads revision of Ministry of Health and Welfare subsidy support standards ▲Efficient budget savings and proactive administrative innovation through adjustment of contract power at public offices.

The encouragement cases included: ▲Hansol-dong Ancient Tombs, the city’s first national historic site designation ▲Sejong Biam-sa Clay Seated Amitabha Buddha, elevated to national treasure status ▲Rectifying unreasonable land transaction regulations ▲Returning 66 million won, which was at risk of becoming dormant deposit, to 14 heirs, among four recognized cases.

Those selected as outstanding public officials for their proactive administration will be given personnel benefits, such as extra points in performance evaluations.

Kim Hagyun, Deputy Mayor for Administration, stated, "Each department has achieved meaningful results in various fields based on creativity and expertise," adding, "We will continue to strive so that proactive administration becomes embedded in our organizational culture."
