1	11 days	Request for the Expansion of Nursery Schools	I applied for the 1-year-old class at the Nursery School in Wakabadai, but I received a notification that it is unavailable, so I urgently request an expansion.	Regarding the expansion of childcare facilities, based on the Inagi City Child and Parenting Support Project Plan and the Childcare Center Development Policy, from fiscal year 2015 to fiscal year 2021, we have established 3 Licensed Childcare Centers, 1 Certified Childcare Center, and 1 Family Childcare Facility, as well as the licensing of 2 Certified Childcare Centers and the privatization of 4 Public Nursery Schools. We have also increased the capacity of existing childcare facilities, resulting in an expansion of 950 slots. As a result, the number of children waiting for placement was zero as of April 1, 2021, 2022, and 2023. Moving forward, we recognize that we will continue to consider necessary measures based on the situation of children waiting for placement.

2	25 days	Request for Support for HPV Vaccination for Boys	Support for vaccinations for girls is being implemented, but I would like support for vaccinations for boys as well.	Regarding the vaccination of the HPV vaccine (4-valent) for males, it received national pharmaceutical approval in 2020, and we are aware of its effectiveness, etc. However, towards regular vaccination, discussions have begun in August 2023 at the Subcommittee on Vaccination and Vaccines of the National Health Sciences Council. At this time, the administration of the HPV vaccine to males is not included in the regular vaccinations specified by the Vaccination Law and is positioned as a voluntary vaccination. Therefore, the city does not plan to provide financial assistance for vaccination costs and will continue to monitor future developments from the national government.

1	11 days	About Wakabadai Station Bus Stop	I would like more benches at the bus stop as there are few available.	The city confirmed with the bus operators regarding the installation location of the existing benches at the Wakabadai Station rotary bus stop. It was reported that in both cases of boarding from the front and middle, there are no issues with getting on and off, and the benches are installed in a position that does not hinder wheelchair users when using the ramp to board and alight. It has been indicated that installing new benches further forward than the current location is difficult. Additionally, regarding the mixed waiting lines for the Keio Bus Wakabadai Loop and the Odakyu Bus bound for Shin-Yurigaoka at platform 2, we will consider installing guidance for orderly boarding by destination.

2	11 days	About Route Buses	Since the timetable revision on March 16, the number of services has decreased. What is the reason for this?	The city has communicated the details you provided to the bus operators. In this context, upon confirming the circumstances surrounding the implementation of this timetable revision, it was noted that chronic driver shortages are caused by factors such as the inability to secure the necessary number of drivers despite recruitment efforts due to labor conditions, including driver wages. Additionally, there is a need to comply with the 'Standards for Improving Working Hours, etc. for Motor Vehicle Operators,' commonly known as the 'Improvement Standards Notification,' which will be enforced from April 2024. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the number of bus services to an appropriate level based on the driver availability, not only for this route but also to maintain bus operations. Regarding this timetable revision, we hope you understand the purpose and make use of it.	Traffic Measures Section, Management Division
3	22 days	About Road Expansion	The roads near my house are narrow, and there have been issues such as ambulances not being able to reach the front of the house. Are there any plans for road expansion work?	Regarding the relevant road, it is designated as a district facility road in the Tama City District Plan Sakahama West Area, and there are plans to widen it to a width of 5 meters. The city is prioritizing and systematically implementing road improvements throughout the city, including the roads you have requested. As a measure until then, we will install warning signs for entering this road.	Civil Engineering Department, Road and Waterway Construction Section
4	22 days	About the Minamiyama Land Readjustment Project	Due to the ongoing Land Readjustment Project, there are many vacant lots, and the dust is significant. While I understand to some extent, how about suggesting to the association and Business Operators to use weed control sheets and other measures?	Regarding the area on the southwest side of your residence in Minamiyama BASE, the development work by the association is generally complete, and it is now under the management of landowners, including Nomura Real Estate. The timing for the start of land use is left to the individual owners, but we have contacted the association to ensure that Nomura Real Estate, which owns a large portion of the land, takes measures against dust. In addition, regarding the development area on the east side of Yaoko, the association is appropriately conducting watering with a water truck. However, during dry periods, the city will provide guidance to the association to strengthen the watering, and we will cooperate to ensure the early completion of the construction.

1	15 days	Regarding the Publication of the Board of Education Regular Session Meeting Minutes	The minutes of the Board of Education Regular Session on the website are only available up to May of last year, so I would like the most recent ones to be posted as soon as possible.	Regarding the minutes of the Board of Education meetings, we strive to publish them promptly after the meeting in accordance with the law concerning the organization and operation of local educational administration. However, the Board of Education creates the minutes in full transcription, and it takes time due to the need to confirm, align, and scrutinize the content of the statements and the minutes. In the future, I have instructed the Board of Education to make efforts to shorten the time until the publication of meeting minutes as much as possible.
