Notice is hereby given that the Piqua City Commission will meet in an Executive Session for the following topic:

1. To consider details related to the security arrangements and emergency response protocols for the City of Piqua or an event where the City of Piqua is involved in the security, if disclosure of the matters discussed could reasonably be expected to jeopardize the security of the City of Piqua or the event being held in the City of Piqua.

Specifically, cyber-security issues within the City of Piqua.

The Executive Session will be held on Tuesday, May 17, 2022, at 5:30 p.m. at the Piqua Municipal Government Complex Building, 201 W. Water Street, Piqua, Ohio.

The first phase of the Swimming Pool Project addressing the deteriorating conditions of the aging swimming pool located at Pitsenbarger Park has commenced. This phase consists of the demolition of the existing pool and structures. A subsequent phase will include an analysis of the aquatic needs of the community in an effort to identify a suitable solution.

In February 2020, Piqua City Commission invited the public to the first of several work sessions with a consultant engaged by the City to evaluate the pool and provide recommendations. After discussions with the Piqua Park Board, the City Commission decided to conduct an Aquatic Facility Feasibility Study designed to encourage citizens to provide City Commission with feedback on the current pool conditions and input on how best to proceed.

In May 2021, the findings of the Feasibility Study were discussed at a City Commission work session. The Study was also posted to the City Website and otherwise made available for public review. This process led to a determination that demolition of the current facility and further analysis of the needs for an aquatic facility, available alternatives, and funding options would be the most appropriate course of action.

Phase I of the project was included in the 2022 Capital Improvement Program (CIP), and discussions at public meetings conducted by Piqua Planning Commission and the Piqua City Commission led to the CIP’s adoption in the fall of 2021. The Piqua City Commission held a public work session in November 2021 to review the 2022 budget, including reviewing costs for the pool project. Following three public readings that took place in November and December of 2021, the City Commission approved the 2022 budget.

Notice is hereby given that Piqua City Commission has scheduled a Work Session to be held on Tuesday, May 17, 2022, to begin at 6:00 p.m.

The meeting will be held in the Commission Chamber on the 2^nd floor of the Municipal Government Complex located at 201 W. Water Street.
