First, Mayor Lee stated, "This summer, marked by record-breaking heatwaves and heavy rainfall, has shown that climate change has become a new daily reality threatening the lives and safety of our citizens." He added, "Please ensure thorough preparation at all times, including inspections of drainage facilities, management of vulnerable areas, and checks on emergency contact systems, so that Goyang remains a safe city for its residents."

He particularly requested, "As autumn typhoons, which follow the heatwaves and heavy rains, are accompanied by torrential downpours and strong winds, please take proactive measures and prepare thoroughly to prevent even minor negligence from leading to significant damage."

He continued, "Starting this week with the Goyang Mat Festival, the 26th Tongil-ro Concert, and the Lake Music Concert on a Midsummer Night, a variety of events and festivals will continue in September, including the UCLG ASPAC Goyang General Assembly, the Goyang Lake Arts Festival, and the Goyang Autumn Flower Festival." He emphasized, "Please pay close attention to event preparation and management, including thorough advance notifications and safety management, to ensure that citizens are not inconvenienced by these events."

In addition, after receiving reports on the major work and event plans for September from each department, Mayor Lee stated, "The 297th Goyang City Council Extraordinary Session will include the second supplementary budget proposal as well as other agenda items related to key policies." He requested, "Please communicate actively with the council to build consensus so that the necessary agenda items for the development of Goyang City and the well-being of its citizens can be approved."

Furthermore, Mayor Lee emphasized the connection between the "New Government Economic Growth Strategy" announced by the government on the 22nd and Goyang City's "G-Nomics Five-Year Plan," which was presented at the third anniversary press conference of the 8th popularly elected administration last month. He said, "The government's economic growth strategy has many areas in common with Goyang City's G-Nomics, such as artificial intelligence (AI), autonomous driving, drones, smart agriculture, and energy." He stressed, "Please analyze the government strategy in detail, actively review ways to link it with our city projects, and seek ways to secure national funding."

Finally, regarding the Day6 concert to be held this weekend, Mayor Lee remarked, "The successful hosting of large-scale performances strengthens the city's competitiveness and invigorates the city." He requested, "In addition to thorough advance inspections and safe event operations, please cooperate with relevant agencies to ensure a safe concert until all attendees return home after the event concludes."
