Euijeongbu Mayor Kim Sang-don Achieves Highest Grade (SA) in Pledge Performance Evaluation for Seventh Civilian-Elected Term

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-sung] Euijeongbu Mayor Kim Sang-don has achieved the highest grade of SA in the Korea Manifesto Practice Foundation's "Seventh Civilian-Elected Term National Pledge Performance and Information Disclosure Evaluation."

The Korea Manifesto Practice Foundation conducted evaluations of basic local government heads nationwide from March through December 31, 2020, across a total of five categories: ▲pledge implementation completion ▲2020 goal achievement ▲resident communication ▲web communication ▲and pledge alignment. The evaluation results were classified into five grades from SA to D.

Mayor Kim Sang-don's pledge projects for the seventh civilian-elected term are composed of 55 detailed projects across six priority areas under the city vision of "Euijeongbu where citizens are happy."

Mayor Kim has completed pledge implementation for 35 of the total 55 projects, with all pledges being promoted normally, demonstrating a high pledge implementation rate of 89%.

The city has also enhanced transparency in pledge implementation for citizens by posting detailed pledge contents and implementation status on its homepage and undergoing reporting and approval procedures from the Citizens Policy Committee regarding completion or changes to pledges.

Through pledge implementations such as issuing Euijeongbu Love Gift Certificates, constructing Poil Youth Housing, operating primary physician programs at senior centers, supporting school indoor gymnasiums, establishing next-generation intelligent transportation systems, and installing indoor playgrounds within children's libraries, the city has achieved results improving citizens' quality of life across diverse sectors including economy, culture, and welfare.

Going forward, the city plans to elevate Euijeongbu's urban infrastructure to the next level through promotion of major pledge projects including construction of an annex to the Arumchae Elderly Welfare Center and development of Poil Techno Park.
