Gapyeong County Shifts to Deputy County Commissioner Acting Authority System... "Minimizing Administrative Vacuum"

[Suwon Ilbo=Eom In-yong Reporter] Gapyeong County announced on the 12th that as County Commissioner Seo Tae-won is running in the June 3 local elections, the county has fully transitioned to a Deputy County Commissioner Kim Mi-sung acting authority system starting from the 7th.

Accordingly, Acting Commissioner Kim has been conducting emergency reviews of departmental issues and issuing special instructions on key tasks to minimize administrative vacuum while stabilizing county administration.

Deputy County Commissioner Acting Authority Kim Mi-sung has requested all departments conduct intensive inspections to completely block illicit receipt of local subsidies and has ordered thorough management of overall implementation. Additionally, the county plans to strengthen guidance on the "conflict of interest prevention system" for retired public officials to prevent confusion in system operations.

In particular, regarding new policies from central government ministries, executives at the director level and above are being instructed to proactively respond by directly assessing applicability to Gapyeong County.

The county has decided, through recent "instructions from the acting county commissioner," to make all-out efforts to eliminate safety blind spots in preparation for the upcoming rainy season. Centered on the Safety Management Division, related departments will cooperate to smoothly promote flood recovery projects and re-examine safety management systems at all construction sites.

In particular, as a survey to identify vulnerable landslide areas is currently underway, the county plans to update guidance systems before the rainy season to ensure thorough preparation of resident evacuation plans. Additionally, response systems will be supplemented to enable immediate rescue operations when accidents occur.

To ease residents' economic difficulties, "high oil price damage support funds" will be distributed promptly, and regular inspections will be conducted through cooperation with townships and myeons to prevent support gaps. In the agricultural sector, the county plans to conduct intensive inspections and provide guidance on workplace working environments to prevent cases of human rights violations or discrimination against foreign workers.

Through the acting county commissioner's instructions, Acting Commissioner Kim requested meticulous administration that prioritizes residents' positions when handling civil complaints to resolve resident inconveniences. Additionally, for projects requiring personnel such as agricultural land surveys, the commissioner requested timely recruitment of experienced personnel to ensure administrative continuity.

Acting Commissioner Kim Mi-sung urged public officials, "Please take on this responsibility with seriousness so that not a single administrative vacuum occurs during the acting commissioner period," while emphasizing, "All public officials must do their best to fulfill their duties so that residents can peacefully go about their daily lives."
