During the voting on the fiscal year’s general account supplementary budget approved at the regular Sapporo City Council meeting on the 6th, the first to third factions voted in favor. However, regarding expenses related to the construction of “MICE facilities” – venues for large-scale international conferences and exhibitions – other factions opposed or abstained in succession.
Sapporo City Council
The Sapporo City Council is the legislative body governing Sapporo, Japan’s fifth-largest city, established in 1922 when Sapporo was officially designated a city. As the local assembly, its primary function is to enact ordinances, approve the city’s budget, and oversee the municipal administration for the city’s residents.
