The meeting, presided over by First Deputy Mayor Ryu Kwang-ryeol, included discussions on measures to improve citizens' quality of life, promote resident-focused administration, and opinions on key city operation plans and implementation strategies.

Additionally, participants shared updates on preparations for policy improvements aligned with the central government's policy direction, as well as safety countermeasures for summer heatwaves and heavy rainfall.

First Deputy Mayor Ryu Kwang-ryeol stated, "The Special Act on Support for Special Cities has passed the National Assembly, and administrative authority transfers are now underway. Each department must thoroughly review and prepare follow-up actions for the transferred responsibilities," adding, "Yongin Special City must also actively prepare for institutional changes following the amendment of the Farmland Act and address issues such as illegal occupation of rivers and valleys, while proactively responding to any potential civil complaints."

He continued, "With the June 3 local elections approaching, I ask that public officials strictly adhere to their duty of political neutrality. Please ensure that ongoing city policies are carried out without disruption, so that no administrative gaps occur."

Second Deputy Mayor Hwang Joon-gi commented, "We must do our utmost to prevent citizens from suffering damage due to summer heatwaves and heavy rains," and added, "I hope you will share and use Yongin's long-term development plans, the 2040 Future Vision and the 2040 Urban Plan, as a basis for future planning."

At the meeting, reports were also presented on policies that have a direct impact on citizens' daily lives.

The city plans to promote the ‘Baegam-myeon (Pyeongchang Block 5) dual water supply project’ in response to increased water usage at the Pyeongchang Reservoir due to large-scale development projects such as the semiconductor cluster, and to address water supply issues in Baegam-myeon, Cheoin-gu.

By July, the city will establish new pressure valve and flowmeter rooms, complete pipe cleaning and valve operations, and build a stable water supply system.

Furthermore, the city will operate an emergency disease control system to prevent waterborne and foodborne infectious diseases during the summer, and conduct joint inspections at 95 certified real estate offices in the region by June 19 to prevent rental fraud.

In addition, to prevent damage to citizens from regional housing association projects, the city will proactively manage overall housing association operations to improve transparency, and check the preparatory process to ensure the successful opening of Yongin Semiconductor High School in March next year.

Moreover, to prevent loss of life and property caused by heavy rainfall, the city will inspect river facilities and riverside walking paths, and will carry out the 'Yongin City Comprehensive Transportation Plan Study' through June next year to develop a mid- to long-term transportation plan in response to evolving transportation needs.
