The Uiwang City Council held its second plenary session on the 18th, concluding the agenda for the 322nd extraordinary session.
According to the council, this extraordinary session took place over 11 days, from the 8th to the 18th.
During this session, a total of 11 items were reviewed and approved, including the 2026 third supplemental budget and changes to the fund management plan.
The 2026 third supplemental budget amounts to approximately 795.8 billion won, reflecting an increase of about 50.1 billion won (6.73%) from the previous budget.
The council decided to reduce funding by over 350 million won for 10 projects, citing the need to reassess the appropriateness of project plans and funding allocations, while the fund management plan was approved as originally proposed.
The Budget and Settlement Special Committee requested that the administration comply with relevant laws and ordinances, conduct detailed estimates of required budgets for each project, and provide specific justifications and details in project proposals during the review of the supplemental budget.
The Ordinance Review Special Committee examined the ordinances from the 8th to the 9th.
As a result of the review, seven ordinances were approved as originally proposed, one was approved with amendments, two were acknowledged, and one was withdrawn, all of which were subsequently approved by the plenary session.
The amended ordinance regarding support for the revitalization of Uiwang's alley-style shopping districts changes the criteria for canceling designations from 'more than 10% of stores in the alley-style shopping district' to 'one-third or more.'
This measure aims to prevent the cancellation of designations solely due to the long-term closure of a few stores.
Chairman Seo Chang-soo stated, "During this extraordinary session, we carefully examined the supplemental budget and various ordinances to ensure that the citizens' valuable resources are used efficiently."
He added, "We will continue to closely monitor major projects and budgets to maintain the trust of our citizens in our legislative activities."
