Gapyeong County Transitions to Deputy County Administrator Acting Regime…"Minimizing Administrative Vacancies"

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Eom In-yong] Gapyeong County announced on the 12th that it has transitioned in full force to a deputy county administrator acting regime under Deputy Administrator Kim Mi-sung starting from the 7th, as County Administrator Seo Tae-won is running in the June 3 local elections.

Accordingly, Deputy Administrator Kim has undertaken emergency inspections of departmental pending issues and issued special directives on priority tasks to minimize administrative gaps and stabilize county administration.

Deputy Administrator Kim Mi-sung has urged all departments to conduct high-intensity comprehensive inspections to prevent misappropriation of local subsidies and ordered thorough management of all executions. Additionally, the county plans to strengthen guidance on the "conflict of interest prevention system" to former public officials to prevent operational confusion.

In particular, regarding new policies from central government ministries, officials at the division director level and above were instructed to proactively assess applicability to Gapyeong County and respond preemptively.

Through recent "Deputy County Administrator Directives," the county has decided to make every effort to address safety blind spots in preparation for the upcoming rainy season. With the Safety Planning Division at the center, related departments will cooperate to push forward flood damage recovery projects without delay, and comprehensively recheck the safety management system at all construction sites.

In particular, as a comprehensive survey project for landslide-prone areas is underway, the county plans to update the guidance system before the rainy season to ensure full preparations for resident evacuation plans. Additionally, the response system will be supplemented to enable immediate rescue in case of accidents.

To ease residents' economic difficulties, the county will promptly provide "high oil price damage support funds" and plan ongoing inspections through cooperation with town and township offices to prevent support gaps. In the agricultural sector, the county will conduct comprehensive inspections and provide guidance on workplace working conditions to prevent human rights violations or discrimination against foreign workers.

Deputy Administrator Kim issued directives to prioritize residents' positions in civil complaint handling to resolve resident inconveniences. Additionally, for projects requiring personnel such as comprehensive agricultural land surveys, the county ordered timely recruitment of experienced staff to ensure administrative continuity.

Deputy Administrator Kim Mi-sung instructed public officials, stating "Please undertake your duties with a heavy sense of responsibility so that not a single administrative vacancy occurs during the acting period," and urged, "All public officials should do their best in fulfilling their inherent duties so that residents can go about their daily lives with peace of mind."
