Council reviews amendment to municipal nuisance code on tall grass and noxious weeds
Summary
Council members discussed moving and clarifying nuisance language in the municipal code, including amendments to sections 9-3-4 and 9-6-8 to address tall grass and other nuisances and to give staff more enforcement discretion.
The Two Rivers City Council reviewed a proposed ordinance amending municipal code language that addresses tall grass, noxious weeds and related nuisances.
A staff memo (presenter not fully named) explained the changes would relocate and clarify wording in the code, specifically amending sections 9-3-4 and 9-6-8 to make the nuisance provisions clearer and to align enforcement practices. Council members discussed the practical effect of the change and how it would provide the city greater flexibility in enforcement rather than a strict requirement to act in every case.
Councilmember Shannon supported the intent and moved the ordinance forward; councilors discussed minor wordsmithing and ensuring the code language matched enforcement goals. The council proceeded with the ordinance item after brief discussion and questions for staff.
