Mayor’s Remarks:
1. The City Council’s temporary meeting is in progress. When responding to questions proposed by council members, department representatives should ensure adequate communication with council members and address differences in opinions, which will help prevent misunderstandings.
2. The Qingming Festival will soon take place. I ask the Civil Affairs Bureau and district offices to spread public awareness about fire prevention measures for cemeteries and rituals. Please have water trucks stationed at specific locations and provide recycled water for public use. Compared to the same time last year, there has been a rise in the number of tomb-sweeping-related fires and fires in vacant areas. I ask the Fire Department to leverage technological devices, such as drones, to ensure that citizens can enjoy a smooth and safe Qingming Festival. It is imperative that we help prevent fires from threatening the safety and property of the public.
3. The National Indigenous Games is set to start in Taipei on the 24th. I ask the Indigenous Peoples Affairs Commission, Bureau of Sports, and Bureau of Education to work together in compiling and reporting the needs and requests of local athletes in a timely manner. Please help them solve any problems that they may encounter and let them focus on bringing pride to Tainan. Once the location of the next National Indigenous Games is confirmed, the secretary general should convene a meeting with the Indigenous Peoples Affairs Commission and concerned departments to arrange transportation and accommodation as soon as possible to ensure that everything is set for next year’s athletes.
4. I ask the Agriculture Bureau to confirm whether the Agriculture and Food Agency will host a performance presentation for the Taiwan International Orchid Show. When determining the premium for Yujing Agricultural Products Processing and Cold Chain Logistics Center, which is outsourced by the municipal government, the interests of the municipal government, citizens, and local businesses should be prioritized.
