Chief Wayne Willcox and Health Department Director Amy Welker reviewed information in regards to the Neighborhood Improvement Team efforts within the City of Piqua. As a result of this presentation the following concerns and questions were mentioned:

1. 652 S. Wayne Street: High weeds on side of house and trash
2. 1497 Nicklin: Parking problem. When vehicles park on both sides of street, traffic must jog left of center. Could more of the curb be painted yellow?
3. 1408 Nicklin: Resident, Bob Fulker, advises that his neighbor's tree overhangs his house and is close to electric lines. We will ask Electric Distribution to look at situation.
