Major’s Remarks:
1. Since the start of summer, along with consistently high temperatures throughout the day, we have also experienced short-duration heavy rainfall. Yesterday, strong winds and intense downpours caused roadside trees to topple, and side ditches were unable to discharge the excess water in a timely manner. While no casualties or disasters occurred, these incidents caused considerable inconvenience to residents when they were trying to go outside. In response, the Education Bureau, Public Works Bureau, and Agriculture Bureau are tasked with supervising the management units responsible for roadside trees to ensure that inspections and reinforcement efforts are carried out. Additionally, the Water Resources Bureau and Public Works Bureau are urged to collaborate with district offices to pinpoint the road sections where flooding occurred, identify the causes of flooding, and promptly coordinate with the responsible agencies to implement necessary improvements.
2. During summer, strong airflow generally improves air quality. However, some residents in the Xinying and Xibei areas have reported detecting chemical odors during evening and nighttime hours. The Environmental Protection Bureau is urged to prioritize this air quality concern, effectively utilizing sensing equipment to pinpoint potential sources of pollution discharge and enforce regulations strictly.
3. According to the "Southern Taiwan Science Park Development Progress Report," zone and section expropriation, as well as urban land consolidation, are essential methods for acquiring land. The Land Administration Bureau is urged to proceed with zone and section expropriation in a sequential and expedited manner, utilizing diverse legally permissible methods while considering the Bureau's limited manpower and time constraints.
