Mayor’s Remarks:
1. The "RedBall Project" is slated to take place in Tainan from March 29 to April 7, generating considerable public interest and anticipation. Relevant bureaus and departments have been asked to coordinate traffic management and environmental cleaning efforts for each scenic spot.
2. The first large-scale job fair of the year is scheduled to take place in Shanhua this Saturday. Despite Tainan City's lower unemployment rate compared to that of other counties and cities, the Labor Affairs Bureau has been urged to enhance publicity efforts to connect more employers with job seekers.
3. Recent water supply monitoring has shown a transition from normal to warning status in the central and northern regions of the country. Although Tainan currently maintains normal conditions, it is crucial to remain vigilant against any subtle changes and adopt water conservation practices. Taiwan has historically maintained low water fees compared to other countries internationally, and despite an impending increase in electricity rates, they have still remained relatively low. However, fostering habits of water and electricity conservation remains necessary. When water is released from reservoirs, it is essential to plan systematically for fallowing, ceasing farming activities, or transitioning crops along the areas downstream of reservoir releases to optimize water-saving efforts. Agricultural water usage is substantial, with one hectare of farmland requiring 10,000 tons of water per production season. Tainan City requires nearly 200 million tons of water during spring plowing alone. To address this, the Agriculture Bureau and Water Resources Bureau are urged to intensify public awareness efforts and develop effective strategies to regulate agricultural water usage.
4. The Transportation Bureau is tasked with monitoring the progress of the project “Ti 3 Underground Parking Garage Construction, Zhongxyi District, Tainan City.”
5. If the 2023 river improvement data for Tainan City has been released, the Environmental Protection Bureau is urged to issue a press release to update the public.
