Speaker A
Yes. I also thank our friends. Go ahead. Yes. The love that affects has negatively influenced the things. As the municipal council, we express our well wishes to our tradesmen; another topic is the new formations in politics on Wednesday. We wish success to Mr.
Speaker A
Attorney Furkan Bağ, who was elected as the Nationalist Movement Party district chairman, and his administration; we also wish success to Mr. Attorney Hüseyin Güneş, who was appointed as the AK Party district chairman, and his administration. The Republican People's Party council
Speaker A
members, who were in the group in the previous term, continue their demands under a different name. And I wish success to his friends, uh, in the council. Actually, they aren't strangers, but we still welcome them.
Speaker A
May it be auspicious; I thank you for the correction. Success. Yes, our esteemed council members Furkan Faruk Yavuz as MHP district chairman and Hüseyin Güneş as AK Party district chairman have started their duties. As the mayor and as the chairman of the
Speaker A
council, I wish them the best as well. I wish it to be auspicious for our district. Yes. Regarding the establishment of the new party. Yes, you have also started as a new party, uh, our four council members, our
Speaker A
Republican People's Party council members will continue to serve as new party council members from now on. We also have an agenda item regarding the re-election of council members to represent the party in specialized commissions due to this party change,
Speaker A
in accordance with the relevant article of the council working regulation. Let us proceed to the agenda in this manner. Yes. If you read that, friends, let's start with that. Let's continue that way. Go ahead. Our municipal council
Speaker A
members Hüseyin Işıdak, İsmail Yüksel, Mehmet Karaca, and others have taken their place by notifying us of their resignation from the Republican People's Party and transition to the new party. Due to the party change, in accordance with Articles 24 and 25 of
Speaker A
Law No. 5393 and Article 21 of the municipal working regulation. Re-election to the vacated specialized commission and audit commission memberships I submit it to our council for approval. Friends, in this case, regarding the specialized commissions acting as Zoning Commission, Planning
Speaker A
and Budget Commission, Agriculture and Rent Determination Commissions; we have three commissions. We will elect members from our new party council members for these three commissions.
Speaker A
Also, the audit commission? Yes. Let's do these, let's do these. For the commission, for our term, as a new party, I want to nominate our candidate for the Welfare Party. Sir, show it.
Speaker A
The parties are separate. I suppose the party. There is no need. Audit Commission. The audit commission served this year, but the audit commission is elected annually. Already. A new commission will be formed for the 2027 period. Actually, we will be electing
Speaker A
our friends to complete their terms for this year. In that respect, since the regulation says "on behalf of the party," I think an election should be held on behalf of the party. Okay, for this self-sacrificing approach as well.
Speaker A
Yes. How is it expressed in the commissions, friends? Is the audit commission represented by taking into account all party council members? There is a phrase here, let's look at how it is written. So, the New Welfare Party is
Speaker A
not included in the management commission. 2000 While forming the audit commission, we select the audit commission from 5 people, right colleagues? If the parties reach an agreement among themselves regarding the 5-person audit commission based on their membership numbers to form an
Speaker A
arithmetic, then it could be possible. I mean, the current formation is in a 3 to 1 ratio.
Speaker A
Well, let's look at the subject then. Yes. Now, let's take the proposals for each of the specialized commissions and hold a vote. You prefer an open vote, right colleagues? For which one? For the new party in the Planning and
Speaker A
Budget Commission. Yes. Could you write it down, colleagues? And yes and for the Zoning Commission and for the Zoning Commission Budget Commission, yes. Uh, we have received the proposals. Let's vote for each commission. Yes. I submit the proposal
Speaker A
for Nesme Oğuz's membership in the commission to you. Those who accept. Yes. It has been accepted unanimously.
Speaker A
For the Zoning and Construction Commission and for the Zoning Commission, we are voting for Hüseyin Işıldak's membership. Those who accept, yes, it has been accepted unanimously. For the History and Education Commission we propose Mehmet Karaca. Those who accept it has been
Speaker A
accepted unanimously. I wish the best to those elected to these three specialized commissions to serve until the end of the term. Yes. Now, the audit commission colleagues. Yes. Also for the audit commission. Yes. The group's audit commission membership is
Speaker A
more important, colleagues. There is already someone serving in that commission as well. By the way, colleagues, with the participation of our Minister of Transport, Tarşan Bahayman, the terminal building will be renovated from scratch. A groundbreaking ceremony for a major project that will
Speaker A
increase apron capacity and significantly expand parking capacity took place. Çarşamba Airport. Our minister promised the new facilities would be completed by the end of 2027; I wish it well. Built and opened for service in the 90s, Çarşamba Airport
Speaker A
is a great project with its new capacity, new terminal building, and new areas, so I wish our district and our country well for this airport that continues to bear the name Çarşamba.
Speaker A
Again there were also mentions of the western ring road by the minister. There were projects regarding the rail system between the hospital and the city center in Samsun. Hopefully, this section of the ring road, the eastern part—actually known as the Outer Ring
Speaker A
Road—is a project of the Ministry of Transport and Highways, and we know work is ongoing; let it start soon so the hospital junction and industrial junction in this region, along with the heavy congestion and necessary arrangements there, can be resolved. We
Speaker A
also believe that once the eastern ring road becomes operational, a great development will occur in transportation and all sectors dependent on it. Uh, another topic, in the past few days, I had meetings with both our Regional Director of Highways
Speaker A
and our Minister. This highway project, that is, the motorway project connecting Samsun to the east and the province, was discussed at a meeting here at our District Governorate recently, regarding the urgent work to reorganize the industrial junction and
Speaker A
hospital junction, which is our current, massive, daily problem, until that project is put into operation.
Speaker A
Regarding that matter, the industrial junction has been largely re-evaluated with a new-generation junction concept, and its project has been prepared. It was announced there that construction will begin in the coming days.
Speaker A
Regarding the hospital junction, a study is being established to maximize the efficiency of traffic flow, covering the Terme Street, the hospital direction, vehicles transiting toward the east, and those coming from the Çarşamba direction that need to turn back toward Çarşamba. Once that study
Speaker A
is completed, we hope that the regulation in that area will begin immediately, addressing the hospital junction which currently causes significant time loss and economic damage at certain hours, and we hope our General Directorate of Highways and Ministry of Transport will carry out
Speaker A
the necessary work. I have expressed both at the meeting and during visits that, as the district municipality, we are ready to provide all kinds of contribution and support regarding our responsibilities. I would like to state once again that we are ready for any
Speaker A
kind of contribution an
Speaker A
counting let's call it a count. Audit while the count for the audit commission membership is being done, another issue is also relevant. There are actually two interconnected issues that concern all of us in Çarşamba and our fellow citizens, which are
Speaker A
currently affecting life negatively but will be viewed positively once the work is completed in the near future. But both are interconnected. One of them is a matter we have been mentioning from time to time in these council meetings,
Speaker A
for which work has been ongoing since last year. These are the infrastructure works carried out by the SASKI General Directorate, affiliated with the Metropolitan Municipality, on the east side after the west side of Çarşamba.
Speaker A
I would like to inform our fellow citizens and you, our council, in this regard. On Terme Street and from the corner we call the Rıdvanbey Mosque, toward the Gökçeli cemetery, in the first section at the exit of the street
Speaker A
, there is almost no infrastructure work left for SASKI up to the point opposite the old mufti building. There is also the rainwater line on Doctor Ata Giritli Street and, due to occasional rains, an excavation left on the route continuing from the
Speaker A
municipality corner along Terme Street and Ata Giritli Street toward the teachers 'lodge. In terms of infrastructure work, these two regions remain. There is Toplu Street. After these regions are completed, superstructure work will be started by SASKI on one hand and our Metropolitan
Speaker A
Municipality on the other. started. As you know, according to the council decision dated 2015, after the Metropolitan Law was passed in 2014, streets with a width of 14.50 meters are under the responsibility of the Metropolitan Municipality. Among the
Speaker A
roads in this category are Atatürk Boulevard, Doctor Orhan Atılgan Street , Eroluğlu Yalv Street, Cemi Şentoy Street, the route we call Derne Street, and Güneş Doğu Street; our Metropolitan Municipality has an 11- kilometer tender for these areas, starting from in front of the
Speaker A
courthouse and continuing toward the new district governor's residence. Regarding this, the tender processes, the contractor starting, and so on. You may remember, it was stated here in this council meeting that the work would begin after the Eid al-Adha.
Speaker A
Finally, the works have begun in the recent days. A route from the health center towards the teachers' house, about 250 meters long, has been paved on one side by the Metropolitan Municipality. Right now, the other side of the road is being dug up by the
Speaker A
contractor. We held a meeting here two or three days ago. A request was made to completely close the route to traffic starting from the steel bridge, from the bridge junction, all the way to the commodity exchange and the
Speaker A
Alifat Başk bridge. We are taking our precautions accordingly so that the work can be carried out more comprehensively and quickly, and to allow work on both lanes in both directions simultaneously. We are saying schools open on September 14th
Speaker A
so that the work can be completed as soon as possible. By September 4th, even if the paving is not fully completed, as the district municipality , we are providing all the support we can regarding the PMT filling, laying
Speaker A
concrete, and making the roads ready for heavy traffic. With our machines, material support, and personnel, the necessary work is currently being carried out in this region, as you know , for excavations and preparing the road infrastructure. I hope these roads
Speaker A
under the responsibility of the Metropolitan Municipality, covering this 11-kilometer stretch on Güneşoğlu Street and Atatürk Boulevard, will be completed soon so life can return to normal with better road services than before. On the other hand, immediately after the
Speaker A
infrastructure work is completed on roads under the responsibility of the district municipality—meaning our Çarşamba Municipality—such as the areas in front of the municipality like Ataintli Street and Kızılay Street, we will start road work and arrangements there without delay.
Speaker A
Furthermore, we have expressed this in our previous council meetings as well. In regions where infrastructure work— sewage, drinking water, and rainwater drainage—has been completed up to the west side of Yeşilalan, the building connection work can sometimes be prolonged. New connections can be made
Speaker A
for natural gas. These types of works are ongoing. There are significant investments being made in the district center in 2026. Since these are generally roads under our responsibility where the infrastructure work is finished, we are continuing the road work there as well. I would like
Speaker A
to express these points on this occasion. Yes. audit commission membership Yes. Let's clarify that.
Speaker A
Erkan Karaca, that one Yes. Yes. Yes. best wishes. The election for the audit commission membership has been completed in this way, and the members of the economy commissions have been determined. I thank all our council members for their contributions
Speaker A
and support. I wish our council meeting to be beneficial. I wish the decisions to be beneficial. I greet all our fellow citizens with respect and love once again. Yes, that is the October council meeting. There is also the
Speaker A
Metropolitan Council meeting on October 6th and January 5th. More Friday, October 2nd is more suitable. We are holding our October council meeting on Friday, October 2nd, at 3:00 PM. I think that is better, friends. Yes, we will close our council meeting to
Speaker A
reconvene on Friday, October 2nd, at 3:00 PM. Go ahead. Yes. What kind of work will the friends gathered for these do, we...
Speaker A
Yes. Our friends will conduct the work regarding that in the relevant commissions. A commission work process will be carried out. After that process is completed, it will come to our council as a commission report. Our colleagues will prepare the work for
Speaker A
each neighborhood separately in the committees. We will follow up accordingly. Yes. Thank you, friends.
