Mayor’s Remarks:
1. The leve 3 alert will gradually ease starting tomorrow (13th). I ask all departments to review their respective duties and come to a consensus with businesses without violating the central government’s regulations. Please stipulate administrative guidelines for Tainan City and minimize pushback. The adjustment period of the level-3 alert is between July 13 and July 26. Even if the level-3 alert is lifted after July 26, life is still not back to normal. Although certain pandemic prevention measures may be eased, we must remain vigilant in preventing further outbreaks. Increasing the vaccination percentage offers protection against severe symptoms while preventing the spread of COVID-19l, however, no vaccine is 100% effective. Because of this, everyone should continue to practice pandemic prevention measures.
2. Tainan’s vaccine registration system on LINE will be transferred to a central vaccination appointment system on July 16 (Friday). The first wave of registrations for state-sponsored COVID-19 vaccines ended at 5:00 PM today (12th). Only those who have made a reservation can get vaccinated. I ask all departments to contact civil groups and volunteer organizations and encourage members of the public who qualify for the vaccines to get vaccinated as soon as possible.
3. There was an overproduction of mangoes this year. On top of that, many factors such as logistics and the closing of Taipei Agricultural Products Marketing Corporation has resulted in less than ideal prices and sales this year. I would like to thank Minister Chen of the Council of Agriculture for purchasing off-grade produce after his visit to Tainan. I would also like to thank all colleagues for their hard work. Because of these efforts, Tainan’s mango prices have risen this year despite many unfavorable factors. I hope that this year’s mango harvest and sales go smoothly, and again, I thank everyone for their excellent work.
Announcements
1. The Bureau of Land Administration’s report on Real Price Registration 2.0 (refer to written sources for details)
Decision: Approved for reference filing
Other than looking up real housing prices on the Ministry of the Interior’s website, the public can also utilize the municipal government’s recently completed Real Price Registration website. I ask the Bureau of Land Administration to enhance the website’s search functions for properties within Tainan City.
2. The Bureau of Economic Development’s report on the overall development of Shalun Smart Green Energy Science City (refer to written sources for details)
Decision: Approved for reference filing
(1) Shalun Smart Green Energy Science City was planned during former Mayor William Lai’s term. It was also the earliest smart science city approved after President Tsai took office in 2016. Both the planning and execution of the city are very important. I ask the Bureau of Economic Development and concerned departments to focus on recruiting businesses, maintaining the facilities, and ensuring management transparency, so as to properly maintain and manage Shalun Smart Green Energy Science City.
(2) In terms of business recruitment for Shalun Smart Green Energy Science City, the market is currently a buyer’s market. Please carefully select suitable businesses. Maintaining the municipal government’s rights and ensuring the smooth communication between municipal departments stations on site are also very important. I ask the Bureau of Economic Development to oversee these matters and ensure that everything is on schedule and that the benefits of this project are maximized.
