Q&A overview
| Contents of question | Answer |
|---|---|
| I attended a general question session at the city council, but found it difficult to understand. Can the council be made easier for citizens to understand, for example by using PowerPoint? | As the mayor, I am not in a position to express my opinions regarding the operation of the council. Lawmakers who are elected representatives of citizens have the right to ask questions, and the content of those questions is up to them. The method for asking general questions at Inagi City Council meetings is determined by the council's rules, and is conducted in a question-and-answer format. Furthermore, in order to organize mutual discussions, the plenary session requires advance notice, and there is a rule that no questions may be asked that are outside of the notice. Please note that prior notice will not be given to the committee that actually deliberates on ordinances and budgets. Parliament is a place where members, who represent the citizens, discuss the opinions of each citizen with the government, not a place where they give lectures to the citizens, so it is natural that technical terms are exchanged. I think it can't be helped. |
| Please let me know if there are any administrative issues in the Koyodai area. | I believe that the Koyodai area has developed well as a town, with few major regional issues, incidents, or accidents. Inagi City, in part due to delays in new town development, has learned lessons from precedent cases in other cities. For example, efforts have been made to create a town where single-family homes and apartment complexes are arranged in a well-balanced manner, increasing the retention rate, and allowing generations to change. In the past, there were various issues, but approximately 30 years have passed since the town opened in 1988, and it has become a mature town. New towns are built by people of similar ages and incomes moving in together at a particular time, so problems such as the rapidly declining birthrate and aging population and aging infrastructure are inevitable issues that will arise in the future. come. We hope to take appropriate measures in a timely manner in the future. |
| Neighborhood associations and management associations have joined the federation and have started holding various events such as summer festivals and disaster prevention drills. Due to this, we are having trouble finding a place to store equipment for events. Could you please consider creating a place where the neighborhood association equipment can be stored? |
In the past, local schools were the center of the community, and with the permission of the school principal, they could store their equipment by building sheds on their premises. However, in light of the Great Earthquake and other disasters, building standards laws have become stricter in order to ensure earthquake resistance, making it difficult to build storage sheds. Therefore, the current situation is that the city has set up only one storeroom in each school to store supplies, and students are asked to use that space to make ends meet. On the other hand, with the revision of the Parks Act, the strict rules of the law have been relaxed for parks that used to be applied. A future possibility is to set up a warehouse within the park. There are cases where disaster prevention warehouses have been set up in parks, so although this cannot be achieved immediately, we would like to consider this as a future issue. First of all, we would like to understand the current equipment situation, so please organize it into a list and consult with the General Affairs and Contracts Department. |
| We are concerned about water supply issues in the event of a major disaster. There are large water storage tanks, but how will they be supplied in the event of an actual disaster? |
Inagi City has been systematically working to secure drinking and domestic water in the event of a disaster, and has a thorough system in place for water supply. First of all, we are stockpiling drinking water in plastic bottles, etc. In the event of a disaster, a temporary water supply station can be set up from the water storage tanks at Koyodai and Wakabadai, and drills are held regularly with the participation of members of various voluntary disaster prevention organizations. In addition, city water trucks go around evacuation centers and supply water to balloons and other tanks, which are also made available for use. In addition, disaster prevention wells have been installed at all evacuation centers to provide water for domestic use, and filters have been installed so that the water can be used for drinking. In this way, we are taking all possible precautions regarding water, so please rest assured. |
| Recently, many fires that appear to be arson have occurred in Shiroyama Park. It appears that the fire hydrant is located on the opposite side of the road, and I'm worried that water will be brought in from far away in the event of a major fire. Shouldn't fire hydrants be installed in the park so that water can be quickly released? | The most common cause of fires is arson. Unfortunately, it is difficult to reduce the number of incidents to zero, but in order to reduce the number of incidents, we ask neighborhood associations and other organizations to carry out crime prevention patrols. In addition, as a deterrent, we are installing security cameras on the streets and on routes leading to elementary schools, and are also installing them on streets with little traffic as an emergency measure. Additionally, we are installing security cameras in the park. We would like to consider installing them in less popular areas of Shiroyama Park. Fire hydrants are being installed approximately every 120 meters along the water mains. However, in the event of a disaster, if the water supply is cut off, fire hydrants cannot be used, so fire prevention water tanks are also being constructed within a range of approximately 250 meters, covering most of the city area. When extinguishing a fire, water must be obtained not only from the source of the fire, but also from multiple systems. |
| The pictures on the arcade in Shiroyama Park are getting old, and I would like to see them renovated and renovated through public recruitment. | Nearly 30 years have passed since the opening of Koyodai, and the aging of the infrastructure will become an issue going forward. In addition to revitalizing aging infrastructure, the city must also prioritize school facility renovations and the provision of nursery schools to accommodate the population increase. It would be difficult from a financial standpoint for the government to allocate a budget for everything and restore things to the way they were before, so efforts are being made to involve citizen collaboration. For example, we would like to consider ways to utilize methods in which citizens and the government work together, such as the city providing materials such as paint and asking citizens to draw pictures. |
| I think it would be great if everyone in the area, including the neighborhood association, could work together to make it an event when the Fine Tower illuminations are turned on, like in Wakabadai and Yanoguchi. | If we can get the cooperation of the federation and neighborhood association, we would be happy to work on this. In Wakabadai and Yanoguchi, where the illumination event is currently being held, corporate sponsorship is being collected to cover the installation of the illuminations and the electricity bill, so there is actually almost no cost to the city. In addition, the lighting event is held every year, with local elementary and junior high school students and other members of the community performing and volunteering to create the event without spending any money. Please feel free to send us your plans and suggestions for lighting events at Shiroyama Park. Maybe a tie-up between the city and the government could be done. |
| Regarding the issue of aging. Smile Koyodai is working to encourage interaction between elderly people, but in what ways can it be involved with the city in the future? |
The city is working to build a comprehensive community care system based at four community centers in the city, so that people can continue to live with peace of mind in their familiar areas. Although Inagi City is an advanced city in terms of nursing care, we believe that we need to improve our medical system in the future. Although the number of clinics in the city is increasing, the number of departments such as orthopedics and general internal medicine, which are essential as the population ages, is still small, and the medical departments and locations are unevenly distributed. In addition, when creating a medical plan, medical needs are also understood by checking receipts. However, it is difficult for the city to proactively attract specific medical departments. From now on, I feel it is necessary for the government to guide medical care based on the needs of citizens while gaining the understanding of medical associations. New towns are in a situation where it is difficult to provide what is necessary for comprehensive community care. As one solution to this problem, we have received a request from the local community to house a nursing care office in a room on the first floor of Tokyo residents' housing that has been vacant for many years, and after many years of discussions with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, we have finally decided to Arrangements have been made for the city to rent it. The project is scheduled to proceed through procedures such as public recruitment. We would like to proceed with the development of bases by systematically arranging facilities necessary for an aging society. |
| What are the plans for attracting a station to Inagi on the JR Musashino Line? | Once upon a time, there was a plan to make the entire JR Musashino Line passenger-operated as part of the Megaloop concept. However, the plan is currently stalled and is in jeopardy. However, we have requested JR to allow passenger service on the Musashino Line to pass through Inagi City. What the city is requesting is that the JR Musashino Line be extended one station toward Inagi City so that it can be connected to Inagi Station on the Keio Sagamihara Line. If realized, when the maglev train starts operating in the future, it is scheduled to stop at Hashimoto Station, and passengers using the Musashino Line from the Saitama area will use Inagi Station as a connecting station to the maglev train. , it is expected that there will be a flow of people. If the number of passengers getting on and off at Inagi Station on the Keio Line increases, there is a possibility that limited express trains will also stop there. However, it is said that the costs for the stations built through the petition will be borne by the local government, which is said to be 5 billion yen per station, and there are currently no concrete plans or considerations for the bid. . |
| Attracting companies is important for revitalizing the city. From the perspective of improving transportation access, will the road that passes through Minamiyama connect to Kawasaki? | The Minamiyama urban planning road will also connect to the Kawasaki City side, and is expected to generate a new flow of people in the future. Additionally, plans to build a new Giants baseball stadium in Nanzan have been announced, and Inagi City believes that it has been successful in attracting the stadium. |
