Daejeon City Council convened the 287th 1st regular session on the 2nd, commencing an 18-day legislative schedule that will continue until the 19th.
During this regular session, the council will review and process a total of 91 agenda items, including 40 proposals initiated by council members, 46 submitted by the mayor, and 5 submitted by the superintendent of education.

At the plenary meeting held on this day, a resolution urging the amendment of the Restriction of Special Local Taxation Act to grant local tax reductions to companies promoting childbirth, spearheaded by council member Kim Youngsam, was adopted.

The committee has focused on addressing key issues related to the development of industrial complexes, proposing policy alternatives, and working to establish a Daejeon-style industrial complex model.
