Opening of the 253rd Extraordinary Session This Year
Operated for 6 Days from the 21st to the 26th
Appointment of the First Chairman of Jinju-si Facilities Management Corporation
Personnel Hearing Special Committee Begins on the 21st<
The Jinju City Council in Gyeongnam will hold its first temporary session of the year on the 21st, during which it will handle multiple agenda items including the city's first-ever personnel hearing and receive reports on major municipal tasks for 2024.
The special personnel hearing committee, convening immediately after the opening of the 253rd Jinju City Council temporary session, will review Jeong Sang-seop, the former Director of Welfare and Women’s Affairs of Jinju City, who has been nominated as the chairman of the newly established Jinju Facilities Management Corporation.
After the ordinance on the establishment and operation of the Jinju Facilities Management Corporation was amended and passed at the 250th Jinju City Council temporary session last September, Jinju City finalized the selection of the inaugural chairman candidate in December.
If the personnel hearing and the adoption of the progress report proceed smoothly, Jinju City plans to officially launch the Facilities Management Corporation within the first half of this year, structured with 1 headquarters, 5 teams, and 217 employees. The corporation will be responsible for managing and operating seven facilities including Jinju Sports Complex, public parking lots, public cargo truck parking lots, city-designated bulletin boards, public sewage treatment facilities, Jinju Daechup Square, and the Central Underground Shopping Center.
Additionally, the ordinance on the quasi-public operation system of Jinju city buses, which was requested by residents in 2022 under the resident ordinance initiative law, is expected to be approved during this session.
According to the Jinju City Council, the Urban Environment Committee will complete the review of the ordinance during the standing committee activities scheduled until the 23rd, and it will be submitted for final approval at the 2nd plenary session on the 26th.
Besides this, a total of 18 agenda items have been submitted for this temporary session, which will last six days until the 26th. These include 10 ordinances and regulations, 3 consent items, and 6 other agenda items, including resident-requested ordinances.
Most of the ordinances and regulations are proposed by council members, including: ▲ the complete revision of the ordinance on the establishment and operation of the Jinju Service Task Preliminary Review Committee (Councilor Park Mi-kyung), ▲ the ordinance on promoting early childhood forest education in Jinju (Councilor Kang Myo-young), ▲ partial amendment of the Jinju Building Ordinance (Councilor Oh Kyung-hoon and 8 others), ▲ the ordinance on the installation and operation of priority parking spaces for national veterans and others (Councilor Choi Sin-yong), ▲ the ordinance supporting integrated community care in Jinju (Councilor Kim Hyung-seok and 11 others), ▲ the ordinance on youth awards in Jinju (Councilor Jeong Yong-hak and 14 others), ▲ the ordinance supporting the cessation of dog meat consumption in Jinju (Councilor Park Mi-kyung and 7 others), and ▲ the partial amendment of the rules on the formation and operation of research groups by Jinju City Council members (Councilor Kim Hyung-seok and 6 others), totaling eight items.
Meanwhile, during the standing committee activities, the Urban Environment Committee plans to visit the construction site of Familia Piace in the Shinjinju Station area, which has recently faced criticism for poor construction quality, on the 22nd to inspect it firsthand. The Planning and Culture Committee will visit the rehearsal room of the Jinju City Art Troupe on the 23rd, where the need to improve the treatment of last year’s art troupe members was raised.
