Gallipolis city leaders held a lengthy session with all members present. The traffic rule was updated to limit parking on Third Avenue between Grape and Court to one hour from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. A land loss claim by George Tabit due to the Chickamauga bridge was raised, with an investigation promised. The city disclaims liability for State Street improvements damages to private property. Local property owners urged a sewer line extension from the corporation line to Burkhart Lane, with cost-sharing not to burden the city alone.
