Mayor Chae In-seok of Hwaseong City presented the city's 2014 administrative direction at the 126th second regular session of the Hwaseong City Council held on the 25th, stating, "We will lay the foundation for growth into a city that citizens desire."

Mayor Chae added, "Faced with the financial burden of creating infrastructure for Dongtan 2 New City, advancing national projects, promoting balanced regional development, and protecting vulnerable groups, we will focus on completing ongoing projects rather than launching new ones."

Additionally, he unveiled the city's 2014 administrative plans, including ▲promoting trustworthy administration through citizen-oriented services ▲preparing the foundation for the future through cultural development alongside education ▲creating new hope by building self-reliant economic foundations ▲establishing convenient urban and transportation infrastructure close to citizens' lives ▲preparing the foundation for a happy life by creating a healthy welfare environment where people live together.

Regarding the 2014 budget compilation, Mayor Chae stated, "Given the delayed recovery of domestic economic conditions, the continued instability of revenue conditions, and the anticipated increase in demand for social welfare, regional development, and cultural tourism exceeding the fiscal scale, we have compiled a 'citizen-centered welfare budget' that maintains a stable fiscal management stance while concentrating investment in resolving citizen inconveniences and establishing a welfare safety net." He requested, "We hope for active support and cooperation from the Hwaseong City Council so that major city projects for 2014 can be successfully completed."
