Mayor’s remarks:
1. The referendum will be held this Saturday. It is a platform for the public to exercise their rights. We must respond accordingly to ensure that everything runs smoothly during and after voting. The referendum is open to everyone 18 years and older. There will be many young people exercising their voting rights for the first time. Please make sure that assistance is available when needed.
2. Many activities are scheduled for the end of the year, including the Longci Light Festival, YueJin Art Museum, and Yuejin Lantern Festival. I implore that organizers work closely with the Bureau of Transportation, Police Bureau, and district offices to manage traffic and parking during the events to avoid disputes arising from traffic and parking incidents, which not only jeopardize public and property safety but also impact the commencement of these events. These events will inevitably draw in large crowds. It is imperative that we implement measures to keep the environment clean and reduce waste. Relevant departments and bureaus must encourage locals and visitors to do their part for the environment.
3. Waste reduction is a global trend. Everyone must do their part to reduce domestic waste, recycle, and maintain city aesthetics and cleanliness.
4. The Yujing Agricultural Production Processing and Cold Chain Logistics Center and Jiangjun Aquatics Production Processing and Cold Chain Logistics Center projects have been slow to pass central review. I ask the Agricultural Bureau to communicate with the Central Government and report back to Deputy Mayor Tai. I also ask Deputy Mayor Tai to assist the Agricultural Bureau in strengthening communications with the Council of Agriculture.
5. The City Government's budget for 2022 is yet to be approved. I ask that relevant departments and bureaus strengthen communications with council members to help pass the budget.
