Resident asks commission to review mowing/abatement ordinance; commissioners propose workshop

During citizens forum the commission received a request from Mr. Hasso asking that the mowing/abatement ordinance be reviewed, specifically how the city notifies owners after a second notice and the city's authority to abate property without further formal notice.

City Clerk Denise read Mr. Hasso’s request into the record and told the commission he understood no decision would be made that night. Commissioners said they were not inclined to change rules to favor a single situation but expressed interest in reviewing the current nuisance/weed ordinance comprehensively. One commissioner suggested scheduling a workshop after the holidays to examine the ordinance and any needed tweaks.

No formal action or ordinance change was taken; staff and commissioners agreed to consider the matter further and potentially schedule a review workshop.
