On May 19, the Isesaki City Council held an extraordinary session and elected Oogi Hikaru (49) as the new City Council Chairman and Tejima Ryoichi (65) as the new Vice Chairman.

In addition, six other special resolutions were discussed and all were approved.

The most notable was the case in which the city overpaid 101.55 million yen, the equivalent of consumption tax, to four businesses, including the Community Comprehensive Support Center, over a seven-year period from 2016.

In response to this, a special ordinance was passed to reduce the mayor's monthly salary by 20% and the deputy mayor's by 10% for two months, and the council adjourned."
