COMMENT: I am an Ikego tower resident, and I would like to address the smoking policy. First o� , the housing sta� has been very proactive in persuading residents to be more mindful of their smoking.

RESPONSE: We understand your concern and will continue to take action when the Housing Services Center receives information from residents who are impacted negatively from second hand smoke. Current policy states that Ise and Nara Heights are non-smoking Military Family Housing buildings with exception to some

If you have discussed the matter with your neighbor with no positive result, please contact the Ikego Housing Manager, Mr. Christopher Churchill, at 246-8021.
