Public comments:
Jim Toy of 107 E. South St, had concern regarding parking on his street. The neighbors on the south side of the street at 108 E. South is blocking his drive way to where he can’t get out. Have Gary talk to the people and ask them to park accordingly to Toys driveway. Gary will also check how many inches from the curb a car is to be parked. Dave also said we may need to invite the block to discuss a solution at the next meeting.
