According to the Hwasun County Council on the 27th, the General Affairs Committee, chaired by Cho Myungsun, visited the Hwasun County Nadri Senior Welfare Center on the 26th to review the progress of key local projects.

The committee received reports on the projects and operational status of the Nadri Senior Welfare Center and listened to difficulties faced by the center, directly inspecting the facility.

The committee members requested, "As the age range of welfare center users continues to diversify beyond care-focused programs, please consider operating a wider variety of programs tailored to different age groups."

In addition, regarding the community-integrated care program set to be implemented at the end of March next year, they asked that the know-how and various on-site opinions accumulated through the long-term operation of the Nadri Senior Welfare Center be shared with the relevant departments.

The Industry and Construction Committee, chaired by Cho Sehyun, conducted site visits to four locations, including the Seotaeri Snow Removal Forward Base in Hwasun-eup, over two days on the 25th and 26th.

On the 25th, the committee visited the Seotaeri Snow Removal Forward Base, where workers are on the front lines to ensure safe winter transportation for county residents. After hearing an on-site briefing from the team leader in charge of construction and transportation, the committee emphasized the need for special attention to prevent worker accidents, considering that snow removal operations are mainly carried out at dawn before commuting hours. They also requested a review of insurance coverage for tractors used in snow removal in rural areas and called for the prompt, regular hiring of drivers for county heavy equipment (15-ton dump trucks).

During the second visit, the committee carefully inspected the Yuma-ri Wood Culture Experience Center in Sapyeong-myeon, urging for increased promotional efforts and the development of beneficial programs to further activate the center, given its relatively poor accessibility.

On the 26th, the committee visited the site of the soundproof facility installation project at the Daeri section of National Road No. 29 and the company Kidsrara Co., Ltd.

The committee members who visited the Daeri soundproof facility installation site placed great significance on the fact that the project was carried out entirely with national funding, without any county budget, and urged efforts to secure more 100% nationally funded projects using this case as a model. A resident from a nearby apartment complex present at the site noted that even with only low-noise pavement completed, noise levels had significantly decreased, and expressed optimism that once the soundproof wall is finished, noise-related inconveniences would be almost eliminated.

At Kidsrara Co., Ltd., the committee listened to a report on cash losses and management difficulties caused by a decrease in users, and commended the company for its efforts to revitalize operations through the establishment of a new mid- to long-term management strategy, the pursuit of new business initiatives, and the implementation of an emergency management system. The county council also plans to support the normalization of Kidsrara's management through ongoing interest and communication.

Meanwhile, the 277th 2nd regular session, which opened on the 21st, will close on the 19th of next month after handling the third supplementary budget bill for 2025, the 2026 budget bill, the adoption of the 2025 administrative affairs audit report, and other agenda items.
