At the extraordinary session, the council reviewed and processed a total of 91 items, including 18 ordinance bills, six investment proposals and 46 consent motions.

Each standing committee received reports on major work plans for 2027 and reviewed the effectiveness of key projects, focusing on improving residents' welfare and addressing inconveniences in their daily lives.

During five-minute free speeches held before the plenary session, proposals were made to improve the work of public officials, introduce Gumi-style clean houses, enact the Local Council Act by the end of the year, foster advanced industries and build a foundation for technological innovation.

The Planning and Administration Committee also conducted field-oriented legislative activities, including a visit to the Gyeongbuk Western Child Protection Agency to review the progress of its projects and the state of its facility operations.

Council Chair Kang Seung-su said, "The policy proposals and points raised by council members reflect the voices of residents," and urged the executive branch to "faithfully incorporate them into the 2027 main budget and business plans and work to improve residents' welfare and promote regional development."

Following the processing of a record 91 agenda items, the key question is how substantially the policy proposals put forward by the council will be reflected in next year's budget and projects.
