Uijeongbu City Appoints Committee Members for Illegal Parking Violation Appeals Hearing

Uijeongbu City (Mayor Ahn Byeong-yong) awarded appointment certificates on September 27 to five citizen committee members who will participate in hearings for illegal parking violation fine appeals to address public grievances and ensure fairness in the issuance of illegal parking violation fines.

The city enacted and implemented the Uijeongbu City Illegal Parking Fine Review Committee Operating Rules, which contain details on the composition of the illegal parking fine review committee, after deliberation by the City Council's Ordinance and Rules Committee on September 9.

The appeals hearing committee comprises a total of seven members: two civil servants and five citizen committee members recommended by each district chief to ensure objective review of fine issuance. The committee holds review meetings twice monthly and deliberates on an average of approximately 100 cases.

Along with the appointment ceremony, the committee held a hearing on objection cases received this month. The review committee carefully examined relevant supporting documents such as vehicle maintenance certificates, emergency medical treatment certificates, courier delivery notes, and relocation contracts, and thoroughly reviewed unavoidable circumstances for parking violations.

Uijeongbu City stated that operating the review committee is intended to further strengthen the legitimacy of illegal parking violation fine issuance and the fairness of processing standards, and will make efforts from various angles to prevent situations where residents are wrongfully fined without justification.

Uijeongbu Mayor Ahn Byeong-yong said, “I expect the committee to go beyond simple review and play a role in presenting developmental measures that can be reflected in Uijeongbu City's future traffic administration by carefully analyzing the causes of illegal parking problems.”
