Namyangju City, Gyeonggi Province (Mayor Joo Gwang-deok) announced on the 19th that it held the '2024 2nd Active Administration Committee' meeting, during which appointment certificates were awarded to five newly appointed active administration committee members and deliberations on the submitted agenda items were conducted.

The city newly appointed five legal experts (lawyers) to strengthen the committee's primary function of providing opinions on the direction of work processing. The new members are expected to enhance the legal expertise in agenda review alongside existing members, thereby increasing the reliability of the opinions presented.

The Active Administration Committee is composed of 45 experts from various fields such as legal affairs and urban planning. Over the past three years, it has provided 22 opinions, helping to devise solutions for issues difficult to resolve under existing laws and systems due to rapid changes in the social and economic administrative environment.

Mayor Joo Gwang-deok of Namyangju emphasized, "For Namyangju City, which has the most regulations hindering urban growth in Gyeonggi Province, the role of the Active Administration Committee is more important than anything else to leap forward as a 1 million mega city."

He added, "If public officials boldly innovate in step with the changing times and communicate with citizens and businesses based on the content presented through the Active Administration Committee, that is the way to practice the benevolent spirit of Jeong Yak-yong and to create a Namyangju that is more livable and beyond imagination."

Meanwhile, starting this month, Namyangju City has been collecting opinions through town and township roundtable meetings to conduct active administration and regulatory reform from the perspective of citizens and businesses, which were previously led by public officials. The city plans to select key issues based on the identified citizen inconveniences and solve problems through interdepartmental collaboration and system improvements.
