Council members waived readings and moved to adopt the corrected codification ordinance; the council approved ordinance 23-22 on third reading.

The council also held a first reading of ordinance 23-23, which would modify parking regulations on Tenth Street, Marshall Street and Green Street (with specified exceptions). Council members moved and seconded the measure to proceed to additional readings; the item advanced on first reading.

Turner said photographs he provided showed his yard had been mowed recently and that only a small number of fast-growing weeds had been present. “I would pay, like, a $5 admin fee to the tax assessment, but it’s flat out on the city to go around and put people’s names on this,” Turner said, asking why he had not received prior notice and arguing the charge should not appear on his tax bill.

City staff responded that the city follows the procedures in the municipal ordinance. A staff member explained the spring notice published each year states that grass over 12 inches can be remedied without additional notice and that the city’s 72-hour notice policy provides an avenue for residents to raise concerns with a community service officer. The staff member said the city had followed the ordinance in this instance; Turner disagreed and said the ordinance’s language is open to interpretation and could be abused.

Turner told the council he had corresponded with administrative legal staff and said he believed the ordinance should be revised to clarify the notice and remedy process. Council members did not take immediate action but heard the resident’s request and staff explanation during the public comment period.","A Boone resident raised concerns during public comment after receiving a nuisance mowing tax assessment he disputes.

Downtown Moon representative Holly Secker told the council the statewide challenge grant prioritizes “quality design, preservation” and projects that “increase economic vitality.” Secker said the bakery’s plan includes exterior and interior work that preserves the building’s character while updating finishes, counters and display shelving. She told the council the program awards between $25,000 and $100,000 and requires a 1-to-1 local match; the application deadline is Aug. 27 and awards are announced in November.

Mike, who Secker identified as present to answer design questions, described interior updates that will not change the building footprint but will add countertops, display shelving and a window pastry display. Secker said one existing side door will be closed and converted into a bread display intended to attract passersby when the bakery is closed.

Council members moved and seconded a motion to approve a letter of support; the item was approved by roll call. The mayor indicated copies of the signed letter would be made available for the applicant to include with the grant submission.","The Boone City Council voted to provide a letter of support for a Main Street Challenge Grant application for the Dutch Oven bakery at 605 Story Street.
