Major’s Remarks:
1. Tainan City has a strong agricultural foundation. Starting in March, a series of agriculture-related events will take place, including the "2025 Asia-Pacific Orchid Conference and Taiwan International Orchid Show" in March, the pineapple harvest season in April, the International Mango Festival in June and July, and the pomelo harvest season in September. Our goal is to maintain a stable production and marketing system, ensuring that farmers can cultivate their crops with peace of mind and sell them smoothly, avoiding such issues as sluggish sales or production–sales imbalances. Director Li of the Bureau of Agriculture is tasked with overseeing this matter. Every policy and measure implemented by the city government serves as a test of our team's ability to respond to public needs, as well as to manage disasters and crises. All bureaus and departments are urged to work together to ensure that citizens experience the city government’s dedicated service.
2. Recently, two village activity centers in Dajia Village and Wangcheng Village have been completed in Tainan City, with more centers set to follow to achieve the goal of providing one activity center per village. In the first half of this year, the city will also complete the construction of a multi-story parking facility, providing additional parking spaces for residents conducting business and out-of-town tourists. During my first year as mayor of Tainan City, the city had only three multi-story parking facilities. To date, 13 such facilities have been completed in succession. As an ancient capital, Tainan City has relatively narrow roads and limited parking spaces, making it increasingly difficult to accommodate the growing influx of people who anticipate having sufficient parking. Ensuring sufficient parking is a critical infrastructure issue that directly affects residents' daily lives. The Transportation Bureau is urged to continue seeking funding from the central government to support these efforts.
3. Tainan City will soon host the "2025 Asia-Pacific Orchid Conference and Taiwan International Orchid Show." The Agriculture Bureau is requested to plan in advance for parking spaces and shuttle transportation arrangements.
