At the plenary session, the council voted on several items, including setting the dates for the 301st extraordinary session, conducting on-site inspections of privately subsidized projects and construction projects in 2026, taking a recess, and selecting members to sign the meeting minutes.

Immediately after the plenary session, the Council Management Committee reviewed two proposed amendments to the Hamyang County Council Rules.

On October 16, the council plans to hold meetings of its standing committees to deliberate on 29 agenda items in total, including proposed enactments and amendments to Hamyang County ordinances and motions for approval.

On-site inspections of privately subsidized projects and construction projects are a key part of this extraordinary session.

The council plans to visit project sites for six days between October 19 and 29 to review their progress and assess whether budgets are being properly spent.

During the inspections, the council will examine the status of privately subsidized projects and the progress of construction projects, as well as whether project funds are being used for their intended purposes.

The council intends to identify problems and areas for improvement in the course of the projects and incorporate its findings into its future legislative activities.

In her opening address, Council Chair Im Chaesuk spoke about the need to promote tourism resources and boost tourism to develop the local economy ahead of "2027 Visit Hamyang Year."

Chair Im urged council members to "approach their work with a sense of responsibility so that these on-site inspections can help us prepare thoroughly for 2027 Visit Hamyang Year and improve tourism conditions."

Hamyang County Council plans to conclude the session after reviewing agenda items in its standing committees and inspecting major project sites.

This extraordinary session of Hamyang County Council has drawn attention for its direct review of the progress of privately subsidized projects and construction projects.

In particular, the on-site inspections should go beyond simply checking project progress and lead to a review of whether budgets are being properly spent and whether the projects are effective.

Another important task is to propose specific solutions to problems identified during the inspections and verify whether follow-up measures are taken.
