Hello, I'm My Color Ball, the Director of the Regional Social Service. Today, I would like to announce the budget for Dax in 2027. I will start by reviewing the brief analysis of Dax and the priority ranking and results in 2026. Next, we will look at the budget analysis and the details of various Dax programs. Next, we will look at each program in more detail and deal with non-revenue funds related to Dax budget. Then, we will review the KPI goals for 2027 and the priority ranking for 2027 above DAX. I will conclude with a few budget-related insights and summaries. DAX consists of a construction safety office and a planning and utilization regional office. Experts who devote themselves to making our city a better place to live are working together. We provide professional guidance in planning,用도 지역 및 건축 분야에서 전문적인 지침을 제공합니다. At the time of the budget formation in 2026, we set four main priority rankings for the year. Imdae 등록허가 프로그램 시행, 위회와 협력하여 UDO 업데이트, 홈플레이스 오버레이 및 어스 31회랑 용도 지역 업데이트, CNO 지구 재개발을 위해 시장 및 재개발 부서와 협력, 그리고 주택테스크포스 권고사항을 이행하는 것입니다. In addition, the private inspection option imposed by the main government had to be implemented through Article 1005 of the Household Act, which was issued from the beginning of 2026. This included a few effects related to the so-called shot clock and shot clock in the way of working. And it was also an important priority to continue the efforts of the House of Representatives. The main achievements of 2026 Until this year, we have recorded 1,912 residential rental permits. We have approved a total of 871 construction permits, and 104 new residential permits are included here. These include 55 individual homes, 20 multi-family buildings, 17 second-generation homes, and 12 townhouses. The inspection team carried out more than 4,000 tests by the end of July. The planning department cooperated with the Commission and the City Planning Committee to approve the Homeplace regional plan update and the 31st plenary plan update. We implemented an update on the budget for the construction inspection fee and the city planning committee and the planning review fee of the Yongdo Regional Housing Committee. Our bicycle friendly business program has been upgraded from bronze to silver level by the U.S. Bicycle Federation. In conjunction with the activities of the Market Housing Committee, we completed a mid-sized housing report. In addition, according to the 1,001 Act, the City Planning Committee held a public hearing on the housing issue imposed by the main government. The Dax budget in 2027 is $3,460,000. This is a slightly increased amount from the $344,000 budget in 2026. The individual service cost, including salary and welfare, is divided into 2.9 million dollars. DCS management budget is 107,000 dollars, technology budget is 111,000 dollars, and DCS's core program budget is 323,000 dollars. The management budget is about $73,000 for general expenses. $34,000 for DACS education and conservative education is used to maintain qualifications and licenses of 19 DACS employees and improve their technical utilization capabilities, and the total is $107,000. Technology is a very important part of DAX's work, and it is all done electronically, not only by request, but also by design review. This budget reflects the technology introduction such as the software of Tolum, the registered partner, and the technology introduction such as the conversation area setting map and UDO in GRIDX. These items take up most of the technical budget. Hardware requests include general notebook replacement, labor equipment upgrade, copy machine, mail machine, etc. DCCS program budget consists of three main programs, building safety, district management, planning and transportation. The total request budget for next year is $323,000. The building safety department consists of 10 senior experts. This department is led by Director Bill Holt. All inspectors received ICC certification and FEMA disaster management certification. In addition, there are three experts who received ICC certification from the International Code Commission. They all have certifications. The architectural design reviewer checks to make sure that what has been approved by the Planning Committee and the City Council is reflected as it is when the building is built. The planning of the district management department and five people lead the regional development activities of the city. They cooperate with the building safety department and other departments to proceed with the dialogue design review. It acts as the main warehouse for land owners and developers who want to develop and utilize real estate by supporting the Planning Committee and the BCA. When a civil servant starts a consultation with us, we connect with other departments such as engineering to ensure that all processes comply with the city regulations. Also, the planners participate in the city's climate action plan and support the Environmental Management Committee. The Planning and Transportation Department is in charge of Adrian Killing and Dave Littlejohn. They closely cooperate with the Planning Committee and the Commission to manage comprehensive planning and UDO updates. They also support the task of processing record and data-based request documents related to population survey. This is a population statistics study conducted with the House Housing Advisory Committee. And it includes the Camel Bicycle Use Network Inc. in relation to managing the multi-modal system of the entire city we have. Dave Littlejohn is also the coordinator of the City's ADA and represents the Disability Advisory Committee. The History Preservation Fund is used to support the History Preservation Committee. Well, 50,000 dollars is estimated in the ADCS budget, and the estimated interest rate of the bankruptcy fund in 2027 is 228,000 dollars. To tell you about the default bicycle fund, the city will allocate revenue from the bicycle sharing program to the fund, and this year, it will be used to support the eco-counter program that supports the number of bicycles and pedestrians at the main point of the Monon and Hagenberg Trail, which is half of the bicycle sharing contract cost. In addition, the HANBI-BANAN report program is a matching support program that supports real estate owners to repair reports and supports 50% of the city's improvement cost. The budget for 2027 is $40,000. The goal of the DSCS's KPI in 2027 is to achieve 100% return on loan in 2027. There are various shot clock or time clock conditions that the main government has approved regarding the completion of the approval, completion of the plan review, and completion of the inspection. Yes, our goal is to achieve 100% of them. If we don't achieve this, the main government is obligated to pay without permission. Our goal is to make sure that doesn't happen. And we aim to achieve 100% of the 90-day approval rate for the development and development plan. And our review team's overall success target is 90%, and this is related to the review timeline increase in the planning review process. This is the focus and priority category. 2027 will be an important year for the CityWorks replacement project with the IT department. Yes, it actually means CityWorks and ProjectDocs. Yes, our electronic planning review system will also be replaced. Yes, it should be completed by next July. We will continue to work to improve the efficiency of long-term and short-term rental registration programs. We will begin measures to increase housing construction that meet the law. We are reviewing various updates to local, regional, and regional standards. We will look at the Overlay Area to find a place where we can allow various types of housing. We will update the Homeplace Overlay Area on the 31st floor of the bus. In order to promote housing construction in the MC region, we would like to allow various types of housing construction. We need to cooperate with the Council for the 7th Building Act of the City Council. It's been a few years since it was updated, and the law has been changed, so we have to organize our proceedings according to the law. To update the temporary permit system, which is in need of improvement, we will cooperate with the planning committee and the committee. We are also planning to cooperate with the planning committee to establish the North Augusta Gateway Master Plan. North Augusta is located in the northeastern region of Michigan Road and 96th Street, and its goal is to promote redevelopment because it has gone through many years of difficulties. By July of this year, DAX has accrued $1.4 million through a trade of $1,762, which is 39% of the budget. Last year, it accounted for more than $1.7 million, adding up 44% of the budget. This year, it is expected to achieve a cost recovery of more than 60%. From this year or next year, all construction and construction-related fees will no longer be processed as a general settlement. This will facilitate the tracking of funds by creating non-contradictory funds that will predict funds that directly support DCoS activities as required by the law. This is a new change. Finally, the budget request for the 2027 D.C.O.S. is $3,460,000. The total request for the 2027 D.C.O.S., including non-contradictory funds, is $381,995. That's all. Thank you very much. I'll be waiting for your answer.
