This workshop was organized to discuss the committee's operational direction and to clarify the roles and responsibilities of the transition committee members following the official launch of the committee.


The Citizen Sovereignty Committee consists of four subcommittees—Planning and Autonomy, Future Economy, Urban Transportation and Environment, and Welfare, Culture, and Education—as well as a Special Committee on Fiscal Innovation and an Advisory Committee. It is composed of experts with specialized knowledge in each field.


The event was attended by more than 70 people, including Choi Hyun-deok, Mayor-elect of Namyangju, Kyung Sung-seok, Chair of the Transition Committee, Son Young-hee, Vice Chair, transition committee members, and advisory committee members.


On this day, Mayor-elect Choi presented appointment letters to the committee members and encouraged them to take active roles to ensure the successful launch of the 9th mayoral term.


In a subsequent capacity-building lecture, Nam Seung-woo, an advisor at the Fiscal Management Institute, addressed the topic of "The Roles and Tasks of the Namyangju Mayor Transition Committee," describing the committee as a transitional organization that designs the administrative direction for the 9th term and connects campaign pledges to government administration.


Advisor Nam highlighted the following as key tasks: identifying the current status of organization, functions, and budgets; setting policy direction; reviewing the feasibility of pledges; and communicating with citizens and public officials. He emphasized the importance of both practical and policy-oriented operations.


Park Dong-wan, CEO of Brain Park, gave a presentation on "Namyangju City's Fiscal Diagnosis," sharing insights into the city's demographic structure and fiscal conditions.


CEO Park pointed out population stagnation, regional disparities, and increasing fiscal demand in welfare and transportation sectors. He suggested that it is necessary to closely examine fiscal conditions while simultaneously expanding the city's own financial resources and establishing investment priorities.


Audit officer Lee Ki-uk explained the importance of responsibility, data management, and inspection procedures that transition committee members should keep in mind throughout their activities.


Mayor-elect Choi stated, "In order to realize a new era of citizen sovereignty in Namyangju, it is important to clearly share the committee's roles and direction. I hope that through this workshop, the committee members will continue practical transition activities that bring about changes citizens can truly feel, all under a shared goal."



Going forward, the transition committee plans to further specify the direction of each subcommittee's activities and continue practical reviews to establish the operational direction and foundation for implementing pledges for the 9th mayoral term.
