Gimje City strives to secure independent financial resources to overcome poor local finances

As Gimje City, Jeonbuk Special Province, is on alert for local finances due to a decrease in local allocation taxes due to the largest tax revenue deficit in history, ▲ Securing maximum interest income through strategic fund management to efficiently expand local revenue ▲ Consolidation of cash other than revenue and expenditure We are concentrating all our capabilities on increasing tax revenue, such as increasing interest income through fund management and actively promoting the sale of unusable items.

◆ Since the launch of the 8th popular election, interest income has secured ‛18.3 billion won and is expected to reach a record high of 8 billion won this year.

This year, the city plans to achieve interest income of KRW 8 billion (KRW 7.7 billion in general accounting and KRW 300 million in special accounting) by the end of the year through the use of the global cash diversion system and strategic deposit of term deposits to secure independent financial resources. This is a 17% increase compared to the previous year’s interest income and is the highest ever.

Major achievements this year include

▲ We have established a limit account conversion system that can allocate and issue funds using only data to enable transparent expenditure management, including preventing simple transfer errors and execution balances.

▲ Strategic deposit of time deposits, including short- and long-term diversification of surplus funds, was implemented according to interest rate fluctuations.

In addition, an affiliate card fund transfer ceremony was held early this year, and work is being carried out to ensure that no funds are missed, such as managing affiliate card points and accumulating fuel purchase card points.

Next year, Gimje City will do its best to increase interest income through systematic fund management, such as thoroughly managing fund operation and expenditure and strengthening the comprehensive fund plan in detail so that it can secure ample independent financial resources and actively utilize them as financial resources to improve the welfare of local residents. I plan to do everything.

◆ Consolidate local government’s sleeping money, revenue, revenue, and expenditure and other cash at the same time and manage funds!

Pursuant to Article 34, Paragraph 3 of the Local Finance Act and Article 40 of the Enforcement Decree of the same law, contract deposits, defect repair deposits, and expenses temporarily stored by local governments due to office management needs may be treated as items other than revenues and expenditures.

Accordingly, Gimje City conducts a general reorganization every year in managing cash deposits other than revenue and expenditures. Deposits that have passed the return period are immediately returned after checking related details to protect creditors’ rights. At the same time, deposits that can be treated as revenue are immediately reverted to revenue. Contributing to increasing tax revenue.

In particular, this year, among the city’s own deposits, rather than bonds, long-term deposits were separately classified and converted into data to analyze the funds available for deposit, and the funds were deposited in high-interest term deposits.

Previously, interest was paid by operating funds only through MMDA (money deposit/withdrawal accounts), but by actively reflecting the revision of related enforcement ordinances, the basis for operating funds as high-interest term deposits was established and work was promoted.

As a result of these efforts, we secured interest income of approximately 150 million won from this year to February next year. This is the highest ever for cash interest income other than tax revenue and expenditure, and is a 4.7 times increase from the previous year’s interest income.

We plan to continue to strive to prevent funds from being wasted and contribute to increasing city revenue by simultaneously managing cash other than revenues and expenditures and operating funds.

◆ Contributing to securing financial resources and increasing tax revenue through thorough property management, such as selling unusable items

This year, the city strengthened its comprehensive management plan for public property such as land and buildings to systematically manage city property.

Major progress includes: ▲ Identifying properties unsuitable for preservation and continuously promoting the sale of public property ▲ Thorough imposition and collection of rental fees for public property ▲ Preventing unauthorized occupation and discovering idle property through regular management and fact-finding of public property ▲ Operation through thorough inspection of managed items These include understanding the actual situation and thoroughly managing supply and demand.

In particular, this year, the company contributed greatly to increasing tax revenue through the active sale of unusable items. This year, there were 12 cases of sale of unusable items, and the sale and scrap price was approximately 99 million won. This is an increase of more than 5 times, up from 82 million won compared to the previous year.

Next year, to protect Gimje City’s property, we plan to do our best to manage public property more thoroughly and to discover and expand tax sources.

◆ Expected publicity effect of government building LED display to strengthen close communication with citizens

The LED display board installation project, a project to strengthen internal and external promotional media for communication and empathy, promoted as a policy project in 2024, was successfully completed.

Previously, installation costs and manpower were wasted by frequently attaching and detaching placards every time there was a promotional item, but by installing an LED display board on the main building and the canopy of the council, the cost of placard attachment and detachment was greatly reduced, and at the same time, it also had the eco-friendly advantage of reducing the generation of waste such as discarded banners. have

Above all, it was possible to create a sophisticated exterior of the office building and improve the efficiency of promoting city and legislative affairs more actively through an ever-changing electronic display board.

Next year, we plan to actively strive to reach out to civil servants and Gimje citizens who visit the building by installing kiosks inside the building.
