1	The 10th	About subsidies for HPV vaccine	From April 1, 2020, Sylgard 9 can now be administered at public expense. Our family has already vaccinated our two daughters with this vaccine at our own expense the year before last and last year. Under this subsidy system, households that had been vaccinated at their own expense before April 1, 2020 were notified that they would not be eligible for the subsidy. I'm very disappointed and dissatisfied. I would like the subsidies to be refunded to households that have already been vaccinated.	Bivalent and quadrivalent HPV vaccines have become routine vaccinations since April 2013, and can now be administered at public expense. The national government has notified local governments across the country to refrain from actively recommending vaccinations, and Inagi City has also refrained from recommending vaccinations from 2013 to 2021. Subsequently, in November 2021, a national expert meeting confirmed that there were no particular concerns regarding the safety of bivalent and quadrivalent vaccines, and decided to recommend individual vaccinations. The city also resumed active promotion from April 1, 2020. In addition to discussions on resuming the active recommendation of bivalent and quadrivalent HPV vaccines, the national expert meeting also recommended routine vaccination of the nine-valent HPV vaccine, which was approved for manufacture and sale in July 2020. We have continued to discuss the use of vaccinations in Japan, and in November 2020, it was approved to be used as a routine vaccination starting in 2025, and 90% of vaccinations from April 1, 2020 will be used. The valent HPV vaccine will now be used in routine vaccinations in the same way as the bivalent and quadrivalent HPV vaccines, and can now be administered at public expense. Based on the decision in this country, in late March 2021, our city will send a ``Notice regarding human papillomavirus vaccine (9-valent HPV vaccine) vaccination'' to eligible people. We are informing you that vaccinations will be available at public expense from April 1, 2019. Regarding the subsidy for the 9-valent HPV vaccine, which was requested through a proposal to the city administration, the vaccine is eligible for routine vaccination (inoculation at public expense) based on the Immunization Act until March 31, 2020. As this was not the case, the city has no plans to provide reimbursement or other assistance for the vaccination costs if the vaccination is given as a voluntary vaccination.

2	24th	About people eligible for vaccination	The vaccination ticket was mailed around March, and my child turned 12 years old in May. Since an overnight stay will be held at Inagi Municipal Elementary School at the end of July, I requested to be vaccinated in July, but I was told that children over the age of 12 are not eligible for vaccination and that I had to wait until vaccination tickets are distributed in the fall. The mailed notice only states that the venue for those 12 and older will be changed. What will happen if many children become infected with the coronavirus while participating in a school overnight experience?	New coronavirus vaccinations are carried out based on national regulations, and the system differs greatly for children up to the age of 11 and those after the age of 12. First, as for pediatric vaccinations, additional vaccinations for pediatric Omicron strain vaccines began on March 8, 2021, so the city sent vaccination tickets to eligible children. Since vaccinations are aimed at children between the ages of 5 and 11, those wishing to receive childhood vaccinations were required to receive them by the day before their 12th birthday. Next, for vaccinations for people 12 years of age and older, the types of vaccines will be changed from those for children to those for adults. The government announced on March 7, 2020 that vaccinations for people 12 years of age and older will end on May 7, 2021, and the next vaccination will be from September 2020 onwards. As a result, the April 1st issue of Public Relations Inagi, the website, email distribution (distributed on March 14th, 2020), etc. will inform you of the end date of the vaccination starting in autumn 2020 and those who wish to receive the vaccination until May 7th. We have just notified you that you should get vaccinated. In the future, if a new national policy is announced, we will continue to make efforts to disseminate information by publishing information on PR Inagi and our website.

3	24th	Regarding taking back used diapers at city hall and city facilities	When I go to the city hall or health center, I sometimes change my child's diaper, but they say, ``Please take your diaper home with you,'' so I always take it home with me. Currently, only facilities in Inagi City are requesting take-out. I would like to be able to throw away diapers at public facilities and go home.	Currently, the city is asking people to dispose of used disposable diapers at home by placing them in ``diaper bags'' that are distributed free of charge at each public facility, and disposing of them on Burnable Garbage Day. At each public facility in the city that is used by an unspecified number of people, there are issues such as sanitary management of used disposable diaper disposal sites and infectious waste countermeasures, so users are asked to take it home and dispose of it. I'm asking for this. In the future, we will study the appropriate disposal of used disposable diapers at public facilities in the city, while referring to the needs of everyone using the facilities and examples from other local governments.

1	14th	Dock run suggestion	In recent years, the population of Inagi City has increased, and the number of households keeping pets has increased. Walking has created a community, but there is no place for dogs to play with each other. The park is a place for children to play, so dogs are not allowed to play there. I would like to turn the vacant land into a municipal dock run.	Since 2014, we have been considering possible locations for the installation of a dock run, such as Tateyato Ryokuchi and Shiroyama Park, but due to a lack of understanding from the people living nearby, we were unable to install one. . We will continue to consider new candidate locations for the installation. Specifically, we will consider installing a dock run within the Nanzan East Land Readjustment Project area, with potential sites in parks that will be developed in the future.

2	19th	Installation of EV chargers in parks	I drive an electric car, but I often find it inconvenient because there are almost no places to charge it in the city. I go to parks in Mitaka City, Chofu City, and Fuchu City to charge my batteries. I would like you to consider installing EV chargers in parking lots of parks where many people come by car, such as Inagi Central Park.	In February 2020, the city declared its aim to achieve carbon neutrality in 2050 by actively promoting decarbonization measures in the public and consumer sectors. We believe that the proposed installation of EV chargers that can be used by the public in city parks is an effective measure to popularize EV vehicles with high environmental performance. Although rapid charging equipment is desirable considering the use of renewable energy and the length of stay in the park, there are issues such as the high cost of installation, so we will research effective methods while referring to examples from other cities. .

3	26th	P.S. for Tama 7, 5, and 3 Shuku Enokido Line	When will the 7, 5, and 3 Yado-Enokido lines be extended to Kawasaki-kaido? Cars are entering the narrow roads, creating a danger for pedestrians and cyclists.	In order to improve the road, we are currently working on acquiring land for the section of the Ta 7/5/3 Shukuenokido Line from the old Tsurugaoka-kaido to Kawasaki-kaido, with the understanding and cooperation of the relevant landowners. In addition, starting this fiscal year, we have begun work on burying water, sewerage, and electrical wires on the land for the road that we have already received cooperation from our stakeholders.After this work is completed, we will proceed with construction of the road, aiming to open it to traffic in 2026. In addition, we believe that the future development of the Ta-7, Ta-5, and Ta-3 Yado Enokido Lines will ensure the safety of pedestrians, cyclists, and other users who travel on existing narrow roads, as mentioned in the opinions and suggestions submitted to the city government.

4	26th	Regarding road extension/opening	When will the road connecting Inagi Ohashi Bridge to Nanzan Rehabilitation Hospital open?	The 7/4/5 Higashi Naganuma Yanoguchi Line, which connects Inagi Ohashi Bridge to the rehabilitation area, is currently being developed as part of the Minamiyama East Land Readjustment Project implemented by the union, and will be replaced by the Yomiuri Land Line by the end of 2020. We have heard from the union that it is scheduled to be connected.	Land Readjustment Division Business Management Section

4. Matters related to education (schools and lifelong learning)

1	The 13th	About the city's truancy measures and special needs education	There is a lack of information for parents who are worried about their children not attending school, so I would like to see it disclosed on the website, in the city newsletter, etc. Under the GIGA School Project, each child is provided with a tablet, but if I request individual support for online classes for children who are not attending school, will this be possible? In addition, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government has made the period of stay at the Smile Room one year in principle. I had been staying there for three years due to a developmental disorder, but I was forced to leave the room and was told that it would take several years for me to be able to re-enter the room. It would be difficult to provide individual support in a regular class due to the burden and busy schedule of the homeroom teacher, and Inagi City does not have a special support class (emotional support), and the school counselor only comes to work once a week, so there are few places to turn to and I feel isolated. In order to ensure that children with developmental disabilities do not fall behind in education, I think it is an urgent task to further improve the city's special support education.	We do not plan to provide the information you have pointed out regarding school absenteeism or private free schools on our website or in the city newsletter, but we have been informed that the Inagi City Education Counseling Office is providing the necessary information depending on individual circumstances. For those who wish to take online classes, your school will be able to provide them, so please contact the school directly. We assume that children with developmental disabilities have left the Smile Room and are now studying in regular classes only, but if you have any concerns, please contact the school or the Inagi City Education Counseling Office. The Board of Education has reported that they will continue to listen to the needs of students and parents and consider the situation of each individual child.	Guidance Division Guidance Officer
2	24th	About special needs classes	I want Nanzan Elementary School to have a special needs class as well as a smile room. To go to an elementary school with a special needs class, you have to cross a main road, so it's too far and dangerous to let your child walk alone, so parents have to take them to and from school. They have siblings, so it's difficult in terms of time and physical effort.	The establishment of special needs classes is based on the "Basic Policy for Promoting and Enhancing Special Needs Education in Inagi City Municipal Elementary and Junior High Schools," and is considered taking into account the situation of the school size and enrollment consultations. When establishing new special needs classes, specialized councils such as the "Inagi City Special Needs Education Review Committee" are set up to conduct studies and discussions, and the learning environment and teaching system, including facility development and teacher allocation, are prepared. After taking into consideration regional balance, special needs classes are currently set up in four elementary schools and two junior high schools. In the city, special needs classes are not designated schools, and as of May 1, 2023, existing schools are able to accept eligible students in special needs classes with 8 students per class, which is the standard for class organization in special needs classes as stipulated in the "Act on Standards for Class Organization and Teacher Quota in Public Compulsory Education Schools." Therefore, at this time, there are no plans to establish new special needs classes. We will continue to consider how to respond to the increase or decrease in the number of eligible students and school enrollment consultations, etc.	Academic Affairs Division Academic Affairs Section
3	24th	About the junior high school area and club activities at Inagi Daishi Junior High School	I heard that Inagi Daishi Junior High School has very few club activities. When you become a junior high school student, you can imagine that there are many club activities, and there is a lot to learn from club activities such as experiencing games and participating in competitions. I think other junior high schools have various club activities. This may be due to the small number of people, but I heard that the area right next door is in mammoth condition. Will the school zone be changed? Like other junior high schools, I would like to see measures taken to increase the number of club activities to choose from.	Regarding the setting of school districts, Inagi City establishes the Inagi City School Appropriate School District Review Committee approximately every five years to consider changes in the educational environment, such as the situation in the city area and the number of children/students. We are currently spending two years, 2020 and 2020, considering the future of the school district. I have heard that club activities at each Inagi City junior high school are established based on the actual situation of the school, such as the situation of the teaching staff and the number of students. Therefore, the number of extracurricular activities that can be established varies depending on the size of the school. At Inagi Daishi Junior High School, we ask for your understanding as our priority will be to ensure that the club activities currently in place are safe and fulfilling.

1	19th	About the opening hours of the parking lot of the community center	I arrived at Shiroyama Community Center by car at 8:50 a.m. to attend the 9:00 a.m. lecture, but the parking lot was locked and I couldn't get in. I came to the parking lot again at 8:55am and it was still locked. I would like the parking lot at the community center to open at 8:50 a.m.	We would like to apologize for the inconvenience that the Shiroyama Community Center parking lot was unlocked closer to opening time. When I checked with the staff, the locks are normally unlocked around 8:45 a.m., but the person in charge was suddenly unable to come to work on that day, and as a result of the adjustment and replacement work, the unlocking was delayed. I was told that it had happened. We will share your opinions with the Shiroyama Cultural Center staff and the person in charge of the Silver Human Resources Center who is in charge of the actual unlocking work, so that even if the person in charge is suddenly absent, a substitute person can complete the work in time. I was instructed to act on your behalf.	Lifelong Learning Division Social Education/Community Center Section
2	24th	Regarding voting for Inagi city council election and Inagi mayor election	It is pathetic that the latest information on the vote counting (posted on the website) for the recent Inagi City Council election and the Inagi Mayoral election was so slow that the commercial TV broadcast was faster than the city's latest information (posted on the website). The preliminary vote counting report on the day was published in units of 500 votes, but what is the standard? I think that breaking news should be published from time to time in units of at least 100 votes, and that from now on the results should be made available to the public in a format similar to live broadcasts of parliament to check whether there is any waste in the vote counting process.	First, the results of vote counting conducted by the Election Management Committee are determined at the voting office, where each vote cast by each voter is determined to be valid or invalid, and all work such as counting for each candidate has been completed. This is what will be announced above. On the other hand, the so-called guaranteed election coverage carried out by various news organizations generally does not wait for the announcement of the final vote count results, but instead predicts the winner based on their own exit polls and interim announcements before the vote count is finalized. Thing. In addition, interim preliminary reports on vote counting are conducted approximately every 30 minutes until vote counting is finalized, but for a while after the start of vote counting, 500 votes for each candidate are sorted out as preliminary vote counting values. This is what is being announced. Please note that there are observers recommended by the candidates at the vote counting station, and the counting is open to the public and is open to the public. In order to ensure that vote counting is carried out in a fair and impartial manner, there are no plans to introduce live vote counting. We will continue to study the efforts of other local governments and strive for accurate and prompt vote counting and public relations.	Election Management Commission Secretariat Election Section
3	24th	About LGBT	The LGBT bill was passed in the Diet. In fact, in the United States and other countries, there has been a problem where biological men say they are women at heart and enter women's bathrooms, and even in Japan, such men have recently been seen in women's bathrooms. Also, I think it is not good for children's mental health to educate elementary and junior high school students about LGBT issues.	The Act on Promotion of Public Understanding of Diversity in Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity is a law that increases understanding of sexual diversity, and does not change the way women's facilities are used, but rather restricts people's behavior. It does not add any new rights. In addition, regarding education, the policy that should be pursued is ``education that is appropriate for the development of the mind and body,'' and the government will promote research to prevent situations like the ones you are concerned about. The city believes that it is important to fulfill the role of a local government enshrined in the law in promoting understanding among citizens, but when promoting measures, we would like to listen to the various opinions of citizens. We would like to implement this as a reference.	General Affairs Contract Division General Affairs Section
4	25th	About the toilet on the 1st floor of City Hall (female)	The smell is terrible. Please renovate the toilets.	In order to remove dirt, etc. that cause odors, the toilets in Inagi City Hall are cleaned daily by cleaning the sinks, toilet bowls, floors, etc. We also check the status of the water seal in the toilet bowl. Additionally, in addition to daily cleaning, we carry out high-pressure cleaning of pipes twice a year, and are working to preserve the environment in terms of pipes and other equipment. Regarding the 1st floor restroom (girls), which we received your opinion about, we later checked with multiple staff members and found that there was no odor that would indicate any abnormality in the plumbing, etc. We will continue to make every effort to clean up and maintain a good environment.
