One of the main issues was amending the Mykolaiv Oblast Development Strategy until 2027. Accordingly, village, town, city, and district councils were recommended to bring their strategic documents in line with this Strategy.

It was also proposed to amend the Local Self-Government Development Program for 2024-2027, which includes awarding regional council honors such as "For Merit to Mykolaiv Region," "St. Nicholas Cross," and other awards for professional achievements and socio-economic development.

At the last extraordinary 27th session, the deputies of the Mykolaiv Regional Council decided to transfer seven vocational schools to the regional balance sheet, which are currently financed from the regional budget in the amount of over UAH 163 million, but the regional council is unable to manage their property.
