Major’s Remarks:
1. Today, the 16th, is a working day before the holiday. We ask all colleagues to remain at their posts. Tomorrow, the 17th, marks the Mid-Autumn Festival. We wish all citizens a happy and wonderful holiday.
2. The Tsengwen Municipal Vision Park was inaugurated at the end of last month. Bureaus and departments relocating to this park are urged to leverage their administrative capabilities to serve efficiently the citizens of the surrounding community and to report timely on user statistics and park performance. Given the extensive area of the park and the need for adequate security and lighting surrounding the park, the Civil Affairs Bureau is requested to apply promptly for the secondary reserve fund. Additionally, all relevant bureaus and departments are encouraged to finalize quickly the planning of pedestrian and vehicular flows, as well as bus routes, to ensure accessibility and safety.
3. The Tainan City government has announced a strict prohibition on setting off firecrackers or barbecuing in park green spaces. The Police Bureau, Environmental Protection Bureau, and other relevant bureaus and departments are asked to enforce this policy. Additionally, this weekend will feature events, such as the Tainan Sports Carnival, Confucius Temple Cultural Festival, Bring the Art to Your Community, and Guanziling Hot Spring Food Festival. Responsible bureaus and departments are urged to implement appropriate supportive measures in advance, including traffic management, public security, and environmental cleanup.
Reports
1. The Department of Legal Affairs presented a report titled "Handling Online Shopping Disputes and Preventing Online Shopping Fraud" (refer to written sources for details).
Resolution: Approved for reference filing.
Mayor’s Comments:
(1) Online shopping disputes often arise when buyers and sellers have different perceptions of goods or services. Clarifying responsibilities in such cases presents a certain degree of difficulty, particularly when purchasing from overseas websites, where extra caution is needed.
(2) In recent years, an increasing number of both young people and older adults have been using the internet to purchase goods and make online payments. At the same time, cases of online fraud continue to emerge frequently. The Department of Legal Affairs is called upon to collaborate with the Education Bureau, Social Affairs Bureau, Police Bureau, and other relevant departments to intensify the online anti-fraud campaign, aiming to prevent fraud and reduce consumer disputes.
2. The Tourism and Travel Bureau presented a report titled "2024’s Arrival of Cuteness: My Melody & Kuromi’s Tainan Adventure Trip" (refer to written sources for details).
Resolution: Approved for reference filing.
Mayor’s Comments:
(1) Tainan is the leading brand in domestic tourism. According to statistics from the Tourism Administration, Anping attracted 10.49 million visitors in the first half of the year, ranking first nationwide. This time, we are partnering with the Japanese company Sanrio to showcase large-scale inflatable figures and themed backdrop panels at Anping Recreational Wharf. The Tourism and Travel Bureau is asked to collaborate with local tourism businesses, accommodation providers, and cultural venues to market this event collectively.
(2) We anticipate that through various forms of publicity, this event will spark another surge in tourism. Considering the congestion issues caused by previous waves of enthusiasm at events, we request that relevant bureaus and departments proactively implement supportive measures, including traffic diversion, public security, and environmental cleanup.
