Reader Le Hung asked: After the merger, which positions at the commune level are concurrent positions?

Youme Law Firm LLC said that the Steering Committee for the arrangement of administrative units at all levels and the development of a model of organizing local government at 2 levels (Steering Committee) has just issued Official Letter 03 to localities on the orientation for some tasks of arranging administrative units (ADUs) and organizing local government at 2 levels; on the organization of the apparatus, cadres, civil servants and public employees when implementing the arrangement.

Regarding the number of leadership positions after the arrangement, the Steering Committee recommends that localities implement as follows:

- Leaders of the People's Council (PC) at the commune level include Chairman ( concurrent title) and 1 Vice Chairman (professional title).

- Leaders of the People's Committees (UBND) at the commune level include Chairman (specialized title) and 2 Vice Chairmen (1 Vice Chairman concurrently holds the position of Chief of the People's Council and People's Committee Office; 1 Vice Chairman concurrently holds the position of Director of the Public Administration Service Center).

The People's Council's committees include the Head of the Committee (contingue title) and 1 Deputy Head of the Committee (professional title).

The departments and equivalents of the People's Committee have a Head of the Department (specialized title or appointed by the Vice Chairman of the People's Committee) and 1 deputy head (specialized title).

For cases where commune-level administrative units remain unchanged (not reorganized) and do not organize specialized departments, the number of Vice Chairmen of commune-level People's Committees can be arranged to increase by 1 Vice Chairman to ensure the leadership and management role of the government in serving people and businesses.

Thus, it is expected that after the arrangement, the new commune -level army has 2 concurrently the Chairman of the commune People's Council; 2 Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of the commune (1 vice president and position of the Chief of the Office of the People's Council and the People's Committee; 1 Vice Chairman concurrently held the position of Director of the Public Administration Service Center).
