충남 공주시가 충남도 종합감사에서 또다시 기관경고를 받은 사실이 확인돼 공주시 행정은 내맘대로 행정이라는 비난을 받고 있다.

충남도는 지난 4월 ‘지방자치단체에 대한 행정감사규정’ 제18조(감사결과의 통보 및 처리) 제4항에 따라 충남도에서 실시한 ‘2024년 충남도 정기종합감사’ 결과, “기관경고” 처분한다고 밝혔다.

이로써 최원철 공주시장 취임 이후 계속 지적되고 있는 공주시 공무원의 기강 해이 및 업무연찬 소홀 등의 문제가 또다시 도마 위에 올랐다.

특히 유사시 꼭 필요한 주민 민방위 비상급수계획을 3년간 수립하지 않거나 늑장 수립하는 등 공주시 공무원들의 업무해태 문제가 도를 넘은 것으로 지적됐다.

2024-31 경고장에 따르면 ‘민방위기본법’ 제15조 및 ‘민방위 업무지침(행정안전부)’에 시·군·구청의 장은 매년 1월 지역별 인구대비 적정량 확보를 위한 비상수급계획, 수도관 파열, 정수장 파괴 및 오염 등에 대비한 단계적 계획을 수립토록 규정하고 있다.

그러나 공주시는 2020년 미수립, 2021년 6개월 지연수립, 2023년 3개월 지연수립 하는 등 민방위 비상급수계획수립을 부적정하게 수립했다.

이에 도는 “‘민방위기본법’ 제15조의2, ‘지하수법 시행령’ 제14조의4 및 같은법 시행규칙 제18조에 따라 ‘민방위 비상급수시설에 대한 점검 치 사후관리를 부적정’하게 한 사실이 있어 ‘충남도 자체감사 규칙’ 제21조에 따라 엄중히 ‘기관경고’ 조치하니 앞으로 이러한 사례가 다시 발생하지 않도록 유념하라”고 기관경고했다.  

또한, 충남도 2024-32 경고장에 따르면 ‘건설기술진흥법 시행령’ 제77조 제3항에 따르면 건설공사 중 1000㎥ 이상 사토 및 순성토가 발생하는 경우 토석정보공유시스템에 입력·관리하도록 규정하고 있으나 지연 및 미입력 등 관련 절차를 이행하지 않아 건설공사 토석 정보공유 업무처리를 부적정하게 추진했다고 지적했다.

‘공공감사에 관한 법률’ 제22조 및 ‘공주시 일상감사 규칙’ 제5조에 따라 사업 시행부서에서는 공사·요역·물품에 대한 계약업무 수행 전 그 업무의 접법성·타당성 등을 점검·심사하는 일상감사를 받도록 규정하고 있음에도 사업 발주 전 예정가격의 적절성과 적법성 심사 등 관련 절차를 이행하지 않은 것으로 드러났다.

이와함께 ‘건설기술 진흥법’ 제55에 따라 건설사업자는 품질시험계획서를 착공전 제출해 발주자에게 승인을 받아야 하는데 이를 이행하지 않은 것으로 확인됐다.

건설기술진흥법 제56조에 따라 품질관리비 지급 대상인 공사는 품질시험비 및 품질관리활동비를 계상하도록 규정돼 있어 초급 품질관리 대상공사는 시험관리인의 인건비는 간접노무비에 포함돼 미지급해야 하는데도 건설공사 품질관리 업무처리 절차를 이행하지 않아 기관경고 조치를 받았다. 

공주시 관계자는 “공주시 공무원들의 기강 해이 문제가 계속 지적되고 있는 상황에서 충남도 종합감사에서 기관경고를 받아 송구하다”며 “앞으로 더 공무원 업무연찬 등에 힘써 이러한 불미스런 일이 재발되지 않도록 하겠다”고 말했다.(공주시프레스협회)

Civil defense emergency water supply plan was improperly established for 3 years... Chungcheongnam-do comprehensive audit receives agency warning again...

Point out that “public officials have gone too far in disciplining themselves”… It’s time to establish discipline right away…

It has been confirmed that Gongju City, South Chungcheong Province, has once again received an institutional warning during a comprehensive audit of South Chungcheong Province, and Gongju City's administration is being criticized for administering as it pleases.

Last April, South Chungcheong Province announced that it would issue an “institutional warning” as a result of the ‘2024 regular comprehensive audit of South Chungcheong Province’ conducted by South Chungcheong Province in accordance with Article 18 (Notification and Processing of Audit Results) Paragraph 4 of the ‘Administrative Audit Regulations for Local Governments’. revealed.

As a result, issues such as lax discipline and neglect of work training among Gongju City public officials, which have been pointed out continuously since Gongju Mayor Choi Won-cheol took office, have once again come to the fore.

In particular, it was pointed out that the issue of negligence by Gongju City officials had gone too far, such as failing to establish or delaying the establishment of an emergency water supply plan for residents' civil defense, which is essential in times of emergency, for three years.

According to the 2024-31 warning letter, Article 15 of the 'Basic Civil Defense Act' and 'Civil Defense Work Guidelines (Ministry of the Interior and Safety)' require the heads of city, county, and district offices to prepare emergency supply and demand plans to secure an appropriate amount for each region's population every January, water pipe rupture, and water purification plant destruction. and establishing a step-by-step plan to prepare for pollution.

However, Gongju City improperly established a civil defense emergency water supply plan, such as not establishing it in 2020, establishing it with a 6-month delay in 2021, and establishing it with a 3-month delay in 2023.

Accordingly, the province said, “In accordance with Article 15-2 of the ‘Framework Act on Civil Defense’, Article 14-4 of the ‘Enforcement Decree of the Groundwater Act’, and Article 18 of the Enforcement Rules of the same Act, there was a fact that ‘inspection and follow-up management of civil defense emergency water supply facilities was inadequate.’ “In accordance with Article 21 of ‘Chungnam Province Self-Audit Rules’, we will issue a strict ‘agency warning’, so please keep in mind to prevent such cases from occurring again in the future,” the agency warned.  

In addition, according to the 2024-32 warning letter of South Chungcheong Province, Article 77, Paragraph 3 of the 'Enforcement Decree of the Construction Technology Promotion Act' stipulates that if more than 1,000㎥ of sand or pure soil is generated during construction work, it must be entered and managed in the soil information sharing system, but there is a delay. It was pointed out that the process of sharing information on construction earth and stones was promoted inappropriately by failing to follow related procedures, such as failure to enter information.

In accordance with Article 22 of the 'Public Audit Act' and Article 5 of the 'Gongju City Daily Audit Rules', the project implementation department routinely inspects and reviews the legality and feasibility of the work before performing contract work for construction, major services, and goods. Even though it was stipulated to be audited, it was revealed that related procedures, such as reviewing the appropriateness and legality of the planned price before ordering the project, were not implemented.

In addition, in accordance with Article 55 of the ‘Construction Technology Promotion Act’, construction businesses are required to submit a quality test plan before starting construction and obtain approval from the owner, but it was confirmed that this was not implemented.

According to Article 56 of the Construction Technology Promotion Act, construction projects subject to quality control expenses are required to account for quality testing fees and quality control activity expenses. Therefore, construction projects subject to entry-level quality management must not pay the labor costs of test managers as they are included in indirect labor costs, but the construction quality management work processing procedures Failure to comply resulted in an institutional warning. 

An official from Gongju City said, “At a time when the issue of lax discipline among public officials in Gongju City continues to be pointed out, we are sorry to receive an institutional warning from the South Chungcheong Province general audit.” He added, “We will work harder to conduct training for public officials in the future to prevent such unpleasant incidents from happening again.” (Gongju City Press Association)
