Shinseikai Etsuo Harada

1. To realize a better decentralized society, the mayor will speak and act within the activities of six local organizations as the president of the Tokyo Mayors' Association.
2. The aging rate is 13.1%, the lowest in the Tama region, but as decentralization reforms progress and inter-city competition intensifies, the basic policies for building an attractive and vibrant sustainable Inagi are discussed.
3. Regarding the Municipal Resident Tax in the transfer of tax sources, generally, cities with high income levels and large populations benefit, but what about Inagi City?
4. While recognizing the importance of peace is essential, it is even more important to understand the efforts to maintain peace.
5. It is stated that the formulation of the 3rd Administrative Reform Outline and Implementation Plan will be advanced, but based on the results so far, what new key points will be focused on in the formulation?

8. (Tentative name) Regarding the concept of the Health Plaza, while there are relationships with the city that bears the environmental maintenance costs and the local community, I would like to hear your views on thoroughly considering a better approach for the citizens.
9. Regarding the Social Welfare Council, the scope of activities is expanding, such as the expansion of projects and the trial opening of the Welfare Center on Sundays, but whether it can be managed with the current personnel is a concern.
10. Regarding Public Assistance policies, the national government is also reviewing both the system and its operations, but there are efforts for more effective implementation amid increasing costs.
11. Creating an attractive parenting environment that is unique compared to other cities is necessary for safely giving birth to and raising children, but new measures for addressing the declining birthrate are needed.
12. In the context of advancing internationalization, I believe that understanding Japan's traditions, performing arts, and culture is of utmost importance. Therefore, I think it is essential to deepen the understanding of the Japanese language, even more so than the instruction of foreign languages, and I would like to hear your views on this.
13. It is difficult to understand how nurturing students in a greenhouse can be considered a form of affectionate education that fosters the "power to live," but I would like to hear your views on this.
14. Various organizations are being formed in each region aiming for sound development, but in order for them to truly demonstrate their power, I believe that building trust among schools, families, and communities is paramount. How should we consider policies to achieve this?
15. It is stated that a disaster prevention map will be created to provide disaster prevention information to citizens, but since recognizing dangerous areas and evacuation sites is important on a regular basis, I believe that creating a disaster prevention map by citizens will also lead to an increase in disaster awareness. I would like to hear your opinion on this.
16. While I appreciate the establishment of the Safety and Security Community Development Promotion Council, I would like to ask how we will proceed with organic collaboration with existing crime prevention associations, female crime prevention instructors, and crime prevention contact points in the future.

19. It is stated that there will be new or changes to the District Plan for the review of land use zones, but the District Plan can be seen as a restriction on private rights in a certain sense, and it may not align with uniform urban development. How will considerations regarding this point be addressed?
20. The widening of Tsurukawa Road in the Momura and Sakahama areas is an urgent issue given the current traffic volume. It will proceed independently due to urban planning changes in Sakahama, Hirao, and the Land Readjustment Project in Momura, but how will we request the Tokyo Metropolitan Government for early realization?
21. Although the area of production green spaces has been decreasing year by year, production green spaces within urbanization areas are considered important from the perspective of environmental conservation and disaster prevention. Efforts to maintain and expand the current area of production green spaces.
22. In promoting the Land Readjustment Project conducted by the city, it is considered essential to proceed with the understanding and agreement of the relevant land rights holders. However, I would like to hear your views on what judgments will be made in cases where this is not possible.
23. The Minami-Tama Ridge Main Line is considered essential for the undergrounding of utility lines in order to promote good urban development as a major trunk road within the city, but regarding the prospects for the undergrounding of the entire ridge main line within the existing urban area.
24. Looking at the development projects in the unused land within the NT business area and the Kawasaki City area around Wakabadai Station, I believe that the demand for housing due to population growth is reaching its limits. Rather, I think that community development adjacent to workplaces and residences is necessary, including the attraction of businesses for new urban development.
25. Amid calls for the introduction of private management methods such as designated managers, PFI projects, and private outsourcing, I hear that local business operators are being left behind. Regarding the idea of fostering local business operators as a contribution to creating a vibrant town.

   • 4. It is said that a "Management Council" will be established for volunteer transportation by NPOs, but it is necessary to reflect the opinions of those who will be using the service.

Also, confirm whether the vehicles currently used for transportation can meet the demand.

   1. Support and preventive measures for disasters both inside and outside the country
   2. Regarding the transfer of tax and financial resources in the trinity reform
   3. Cooperative movement of the six local organizations for the efficient use of financial resources and the creation of unique local communities towards the national government
   4. Policies to address the issues of national population decline and an aging society
2. Mayor's thoughts on the initiatives of Tokyo Metropolitan Government
   1. What is the view on preparing the budget without implementing the financial measures that the Tokyo Metropolitan Government has carried out in recent years?
   2. The perspective on security measures as a means of ensuring safety and peace of mind.
3. Overview of the city's budget formulation
   1. About the Estimated Corporate Municipal Resident Tax
   2. About Financial Resource Adjustment for the Fiscal Year

   5. System and content available 24 hours via mobile phone
   6. About the Progress After the Establishment of the Designated Manager System

1. Mayor's Basic Stance in the Policy Statement
   • 1. As the Mayor of Inagi City, who declares a city of peace, I believe that we should clearly state our basic stance of aiming for a peaceful and non-nuclear Japan and world, based on the perspective that "peace is a common wish of humanity." This includes utilizing the "Resolution Calling for the Abolition of Nuclear Weapons" decided at the National Mayors' Association Vice Presidents' Meeting in January of this year, as well as upholding Article 9 of the Constitution.
   • 2. The "Trinity Reform" concerning national and local tax finances has only reduced subsidies related to education, Social Welfare, and the lives of citizens. It has become clear that the aim of the "Trinity Reform" is to retreat the national responsibility for Social Welfare and education under the name of "expanding local authority" and to reduce national fiscal expenditure. It is necessary to reform unnecessary subsidies for public works and to maintain the treasury burden system that guarantees the lives and rights of citizens, while demanding the expansion of local tax resources and the maintenance and enhancement of local allocation tax, in order to truly advance local autonomy.
   • 3-1. I believe that we should continue to expand the Medical Expenses assistance system for Infants and Young Children, but the basic idea is
   • 3-2. Licensed Childcare Centers have been pointed out to have issues such as declining quality of childcare due to high fees and the short-term nature of employment caused by dispatched labor. Therefore, in order to resolve the waiting list for children, Licensed Childcare Centers should be positioned as supplementary, and the increase of Nursery Schools should be considered the fundamental policy. However, the basic idea is
   • 4. The closure of the Tokyo Coca-Cola Bottling Company Yanokuchi Plant and the Fujitsu Minami-Tama Plant has a significant impact on the city's revenue, employment, and hollowing out, becoming a social issue in various areas. There are concerns about the effects on citizens' lives and the city's finances. To what extent do we understand the current situation and reality regarding the closures? Additionally, how do we plan to respond in the future?
   • 5. In the statement of policy, it is stated that "we will proceed with the formulation of the Inagi City Third Administrative Reform Outline, which will serve as a guideline for new administrative reforms to be undertaken after fiscal year 2018," but I believe that "administrative reforms" that lead to increased burdens on citizens or a decline in services should not be carried out. The basic idea is
   • 6. In the statement of policy, the first characteristic of the new fiscal year's budget is the allocation for urban infrastructure development, including the Nambu Line continuous elevated crossing project and the Land Readjustment Project. Under the new "National Burden Increase Policy" of the Koizumi Cabinet, which includes increased burdens for medical care and pensions, as well as the abolition of the fixed-rate tax reduction, unprecedented pain has been imposed, and a harsh life continues. I believe that urban infrastructure development projects, which are financially burdensome, should be reviewed to the minimum necessary, and that living, welfare, education, and Parenting support should be prioritized.
   • 7. In the statement of policy, it is mentioned that the reform of the Long-Term Care Insurance system will establish new services, but what is truly needed is an improvement in the structure where "insurance premiums and usage fees are too high, making it impossible to receive necessary care services." In such times, I believe that what is required of local governments is to criticize the national direction of "review," raise opinions, and strive to put a stop to it, but the fundamental idea is

Also, will sufficient measures be taken regarding the management of information collected in the "national census" scheduled to be implemented on October 1 of this year?
4. Regarding public fund management, it states that "payoff will be fully lifted from the new fiscal year, so we will aim for safe and efficient management operations," but what are the specific countermeasures?
5. Regarding the construction of the Health Plaza, it is stated that "we would like to commission a study on the perspectives, philosophy, basic policies, and implementation strategies for facility construction," but there is no specific vision provided.
6. Regarding the formulation of the Inagi City Health and Welfare Plan, the creation of a prevention response manual, and the specific vision for measures
