The Anyang City Council's Urban Transportation Committee has approved the settlement for the 2025 fiscal year and called for improvements in budget execution.
According to the council on October 26, the Urban Transportation Committee reviewed the budget execution status of major projects during the examination of the 2025 fiscal year settlement and proposed improvements for overall financial management, including minimizing budget carryover and enhancing transportation services.
During the 315th first regular session held from October 15 to 19, the committee preliminarily reviewed the 'Approval of the 2025 Fiscal Year Settlement and Contingency Expenditures' and approved both items as originally proposed.
In the review process, the committee emphasized the need to analyze the budget execution results and actual demand for each project closely, urging the establishment of an appropriate budget scale and a reduction in recurring unspent funds.
In particular, the committee pointed out the carryover of funds related to the public cargo terminal and sewage treatment facility projects, urging a systematic management of project schedules by reviewing the necessary periods for administrative procedures, consultations with related agencies, and permits in advance.
The committee also identified the need to shorten the administrative processing times for maintenance projects and improve review procedures. It suggested managing the time required for each stage from application to decision and reviewing measures in accordance with relevant ordinances, such as frequent reviews, written reviews, and the use of subcommittees, to reduce delays in project implementation.
For transportation-related projects, including support for mobility for the transportation disadvantaged, low-floor buses, and transportation subsidies for seniors, the committee requested an evaluation based on actual utilization outcomes. It emphasized the need to analyze user wait times, instances of unavailable dispatches, satisfaction levels, and complaints to reflect these factors in the target support, operational methods, and budget scale.
Additionally, the committee called for increased accuracy in revenue estimates and collection management, as well as strengthened verification of accounting items and revenue codes.
Meanwhile, a committee official stated, 'We plan to continue monitoring the budget execution and progress of major projects to enhance citizens' transportation convenience and systematically manage urban and living infrastructure.'
