Asan City Council Member "Contracted Private Agreement with Committee Member of Forestry and Related Committee"

Councilor Kim Eun-a: "Committee members must be cautious about services related to their duties"

Asan City Council member Kim Eun-ah pointed out during the administrative audit of the Forestry Department under the Culture and Environment Committee at the 249th 1st regular session that a contract was signed through a private agreement with a company operated by a member belonging to the 'Asan City Landslide Vulnerable Area Designation Committee.'

Asan City in Chungnam has been criticized for repeatedly signing private contracts with a committee member belonging to the Forestry Division and its related committee.

On the 21st, Asan City Council member Kim Eun-ah pointed out during the administrative audit of the Forestry Division under the Culture and Environment Committee at the 249th 1st regular meeting that private contracts were signed with a company operated by a member of the 'Asan City Landslide Vulnerable Area Designation Committee.'

According to Article 7 (Prohibition of Services and Construction) of the 'Ordinance on the Formation and Operation of Various Committees in Asan City,' committee members are prohibited from participating in services or construction related to their committee's duties through private contracts.

However, the city signed multiple private contracts with a company operated by a member of the committee related to the inspection of landslide vulnerable areas in Asan City.

Council member Kim Eun-ah stated, “If the company operated by the member performs the services, the expertise may be compromised,” and added, “Committee members themselves should be cautious about services related to their duties.”
