Before the plenary session, during the five-minute free speech segment, Assemblywoman Kim Jeongmi proposed the introduction of a floor leadership system and negotiation groups. Assemblywoman Park Yunkyung called for the construction of the Second Park Chung Hee Presidential Historical Archives and the connection of modernization infrastructure. Assemblyman Yoo Seunghun suggested strategies to establish Gumi as a center for AI-driven manufacturing innovation.

During this extraordinary session, a total of 17 agenda items will be reviewed, including five ordinance bills, one rule proposal, nine consent bills, and two investment bills. In addition, the council will compile reports on the main policy directions for 2026 and draw up plans for administrative inspections, thoroughly examining overall city administration.

The Industrial Construction Committee plans to visit the site of the companion animal culture park project in Okseong-myeon on July 20 to check firsthand on the project’s progress, exemplifying the council’s hands-on, field-centered legislative work.

Chairman Seungsoo Kang stated, "As this is the first extraordinary session of the 10th council, we will focus on responsible legislative activity that produces tangible results citizens can feel." He added, "We will do our utmost to scrutinize policies and suggest alternatives to enhance citizens’ lives and Gumi’s future competitiveness."

The first extraordinary session of the 10th Gumi City Council should serve not only as a forum for policy deliberation, but also as the starting point of a ‘working council’ that encompasses on-site inspections and future strategy development.
