The council also handled 17 ordinance bills and other agenda items. After review by the standing committees, one item was approved with amendments and the remaining 16 were approved as originally proposed.

Council Chair An Changsu said, "The report on the 2027 key work plans provided an opportunity for communication to identify anticipated problems and ways to address them in the course of municipal administration."
