Mayor’s remarks:
1. Please consider outsourcing the Baihe District office building demolition and reconstruction project and the construction project for the new North District office building (and the addition of public daycare facilities). I ask Deputy Secretary-general Chiu to convene a meeting with the Public Works Bureau; Department of Budget, Accounting and Statistics; and concerned departments to discuss streamlining construction payments while abiding by the Public Construction Commission’s principles.
2. There have been frequent reports of torrential rain recently. Heavy rainfall has resulted in flooding in the Siaodong Underpass. I ask Secretary-general Fang to convene a meeting with the district offices and Police Department to discuss measures that will prevent similar incidents from happening again.
3. Regarding the issue of scoter parking at Gueiren Market, I ask Secretary-general Fang to meet with the Market Administration Office, Police Department, and Transportation Bureau. Please keep abreast of the situation and establish scooter parking control measures. Hopefully, this will solve parking issues for local residents and the public.
4. I ask Deputy Secretary-general Chiu to meet with the Public Works Bureau, Bureau of Education, and Tourism Bureau and discuss the pros and cons of specialty parks, inclusive playgrounds, and age-friendly park equipment. Please discuss how to create the best quality playgrounds with the least amount of funding.
