The Guri City Council in Gyeonggi Province (Chairman: Shin Donghwa) approved the original proposal of the "Partial Amendment to the Ordinance on the Operation and Management of Guri Urban Corporation," which was proposed by Council Member Kwon Bongsu at the 351st extraordinary session on August 12.

This amendment was proposed as a follow-up measure regarding the issue raised during the administrative audit at the 350th regular session of the Guri City Council, where Guri Urban Corporation unilaterally changed the project for the Landmark Tower construction site, despite the fact that the new plan did not align with the original purpose for which the council had approved the investment.

The main content of the amendment is to require prior approval from the city council when disposing of assets funded by the city. The goal is to ensure transparency and accountability in the disposal of public assets, thereby faithfully achieving the original intent and purpose of the corporation's establishment and contributing to the welfare of citizens.

Kwon Bongsu stated, "Given the corporation's founding purpose and the council's original approval of the project, public interest should be the top priority. However, this was not sufficiently considered during the corporation's unilateral project change. Through this amendment, I hope to establish clear standards for the use and disposal of city-funded assets and to strengthen the management and oversight functions of both the city and the council, so that the benefits can be returned to the citizens."

Meanwhile, Chairman Shin Donghwa added, "The council will make every effort to ensure that shared assets and city-funded properties are managed and disposed of based on rational procedures and systems. We will strive to preserve Guri City's assets and ensure they serve as a driving force for the city's future growth and development."
