The Planning and Administrative Committee of Ansung City Council has reviewed the city's overall administration during the 2026 administrative audit, proposing a total of 151 measures for improvement.
According to the city council on October 26, the committee conducted the audit from October 13 to 21, targeting the city administration and its affiliated public institutions.
Entities audited included the Youth Policy Office, Planning and Economic Affairs Office, Administrative Safety Education Bureau, Agricultural Technology Center, district offices, community service centers, Ansung Urban Corporation, and major investment and donation organizations.
Key issues identified included youth policy, financial stability, response to resident complaints, local economic revitalization, and improvements in public institution operations.
In the area of youth policy, the committee called for securing dedicated budgets to support isolated and reclusive youth and for implementing specific projects based on the results of a needs assessment.
Committee members pointed out that investments from the second Youth Startup Fund are concentrated in other regions and urged the development of measures to discover and expand investments in local businesses.
Additionally, they demanded that affiliated organizations avoid arbitrary budget reallocations and focus on executing year-end budgets, while also strengthening financial stability in response to declining financial independence and autonomy.
The committee also emphasized the need to identify new revenue sources to establish a sustainable income base and requested adjustments to the timing of bond issuance by Ansung Urban Corporation.
Regarding citizen welfare, they called for enhanced communication, including community meetings, to address resident concerns related to hospital expansions and the relocation of funeral homes, and for effective measures that include suspending or re-evaluating administrative procedures.
In terms of local economic initiatives, the committee requested an increase in the use of locally procured materials and strategies to improve the deficits of local food direct sales stores.
Furthermore, they called on Ansung Urban Corporation to implement measures to prevent errors in the number of regular job postings and to identify alternative roles to compensate for potential job losses among the elderly due to the automation of parking facilities.
Meanwhile, Committee Chair Park Eun-jeong stated, "The administrative audit fulfills the citizens' right to know and serves as a monitoring and oversight function for the city administration, aiming for prevention and improvement."
She added, "I hope that measures will be developed and improvements made swiftly in response to the issues raised during this audit to promote trustworthy administration."
