WEED ISSUES GROWING

AN EARLY GROWING SEASON THIS SPRING MEANS THAT WEEDS ARE SPRINGING UP QUICKER AND TALLER THAN USUAL THIS TIME OF YEAR.

CITY CODE ENFORCEMENT MANAGER DARRELL BULLOCK SAYS SEVERAL COMPLAINTS HAVE ALREADY COME IN TO THE CITY ABOUT PROPERTIES THAT NEED TO BE MOWED:

BULLOCK SAYS THE WEEDS AND GRASS MUST BE TRIMMED BACK TO UNDER A FOOT IN HEIGHT, OR PROPERTY OWNERS FACE PENALTIES.

THE CITY WILL START BY SENDING A LETTER AND POSTING A SIGN ON THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION:

THE CITY RESPONDED TO OVER 3500 WEED COMPLAINTS LAST YEAR, WHICH RESULTED IN 660 INSPECTIONS.

CITIZENS MAY CONTACT THE CITY ABOUT WEED ISSUES THROUGH ITS WEBSITE OR BY CALLING 279-6859.
