Iuka Ravine Association has been meeting regularly since spring. A concern has been the addition of a party deck to one of the apartment buildings on the ravine, without a required
plan review, building permits or a certificate of appropriateness from the Historic Resources Commission. Nearly a dozen members attended the Building Commission hearing in June
where the city?’s orders to the landlord were upheld.

At Indianola Forest monthly meetings the agenda items were trash pick up, a concern that residential homeownership is decreasing and a warning about burglaries and break ins of
homes and cars on Lane and Waldeck. Quarterly clean ups are planned, a neighborhood
watch was mentioned, and a plan to increase resident homeownership was proposed.
