Aldermen approve temporary suspension of high‑grass enforcement for 'Low Mow April'
Summary
The Board of Aldermen voted 8-0 to suspend enforcement of two city code sections addressing grass and weeds above seven inches for the month of April to support pollinators and habitat.
The Brentwood Board of Aldermen on May 3 approved an ordinance suspending enforcement of specific high‑grass and weed provisions in the city code for the month of April to support "Low Mow April," an initiative promoted by the Sustainability Commission.
The ordinance temporarily suspends enforcement of sections cited as 220.01(B)(10) and 500.83(B)(4) of the Brentwood City Code, which relate to grass and weed height and maintenance. A presenter stated the city adopted a similar measure the prior year at the commission’s request. The board moved the bill to a second reading, perfected it into ordinance form, and adopted it by roll call; the vote was recorded 8‑0. The ordinance was assigned number 5,175.
Board members offered no amendments; the measure suspends code enforcement for the month to promote pollinators and wildlife habitat, and normal code enforcement will resume at the end of the designated period.
