Yongin Special City Council legislative activities and administrative expansion

The Yongin Special City Council has focused on addressing infrastructure safety, funding gaps, and specialized policy research. During a regular session, council members raised concerns regarding the Yongin Light Rail, calling for a review of operating companies’ safety management and emergency response capabilities to ensure cost-cutting does not compromise safety. Additionally, officials highlighted a significant funding shortage for road projects in Cheoin-gu and a lack of adequate sports facilities for athletes. Following these discussions, the council has moved toward research-driven governance. Active initiatives include studying carbon neutrality through a circular economy, investigating AI technology for administrative audits, and conducting surveys to improve childcare and marriage support services for young parents. In response to increasing administrative demands, the city has proposed an organizational restructuring plan. This proposal includes the creation of two new departments and 39 new teams, which would increase the total number of public officials from 3,474 to 3,605. A primary focus of this reorganization is the expansion of welfare administration, with 20 new teams to be established across Cheoin-gu, Giheung-gu, and Suji-gu to provide customized welfare services, health management, child abuse response, and care support. The plan also aims to strengthen departments related to development, construction safety, and road facilities, while updating the AI Smart Strategy Department with a new AI Strategy Team. The city intends to submit the relevant ordinance to the City Council in November 2024, with the restructured organization expected to be operational by January 2027.
