Code requires city prop- erty owners to cut and or re- move wild blackberry bush- es, weeds and grass over 12 inches in height, and vege- tation near combustibles or likely to endanger buildings or other property. Staff has inspected ap- proximately two thirds of the city to date with plans to have the remaining proper- ties inspected by the end of next week. Property owners with vegetation in violation of the code have been sent letters requesting the viola- tion to be corrected within 10 days from the date of the letter. Staff will re-inspect the properties for compliance. If the property is still in vi- olation, the city will send a second letter to comply and post the letter on the prop- erty. The owner will be subject to fines and a possible lien on the property provided the violation for vegetation removal has not been ad- dressed following the sec- ond letter. FREE ENTRY!
