[한국인터넷미디어기자협회] Kim seoung-ho main reporter = On Friday(May 3rd), the city and the city council signed a "Win-Win Agreement for Citizens' Cooperation" at Goyang City Hall (Mind Sharing Center).

And announced that they would work together on Important Issues in the city.

Representatives from both the ruling and opposition parties (Representational Park Hyun-woo of the People's Power and Rep. Choi Kyu-jin of the Democratic Party) attended the signing ceremony, including Goyang Special City Mayor Lee Dong-hwan and Goyang Special City Council Chairman Kim Young-sik.

They agreed that the government should focus its capabilities on taking care of the challenges facing Goyang City, such as creating a self-sufficient city, as well as relieving the suffering of citizens who are on the brink of the cliff due to the three high prices (high prices, high oil prices, and high interest rates).

In addition, it was decided to form a 'win-win and cooperation TF' to strengthen developmental discussions.

Since its launch in July 2022, the 8th popularly elected Goyang City and the 9th Goyang City Council have been in pain in the process of deliberating on budget and ordinances.

At the 283rd Goyang City Council's extraordinary meeting held on the 19th, a total of 143.5 billion won was submitted, including the budget cut at the end of last year, including the cost of all departments' work required to operate departments and hold various meetings, but disagreements arose ahead of the second deliberation (Special Committee on Budget and Accounts).

However, after persistent communication between the ruling and opposition parties and the executive branch to deal with the people's livelihood budget, the atmosphere was dramatically reversed and an agreement was reached.

Lee Dong-hwan(Mayor of Goyang Special City), said at the signing ceremony, "Just as the ground hardens after rain, Goyang City will develop further by taking the regrettable and insufficient past as a lesson," adding, "Let's do our best to ensure that the remaining two years can be used for the benefit of Goyang City and its citizens."

Kim Young-sik, chairman of the Goyang City Council, said, "I am very moved by the fact that this win-win agreement has been signed. Let's cooperate closely and communicate with the city council and the executive department to achieve the changes and developments that citizens expect."

Meanwhile, following the signing of the agreement, the government passed the plenary session of the National Assembly, which is directly related to citizens' lives, including Goyang Pay incentives and K-passes (support for refund of public transportation costs), free school meals, and repackaging nine major roads.

City officials said, "We are glad that the agreement has dealt with the urgent supplementary budget," adding, "It is expected that the remaining major city projects will gain momentum from strengthening cooperation."
