Resident urges Lake Bronson to send notices about messy yards, council weighs enforcement
Summary
A resident raised concerns about persistent yard and trash problems on Park Avenue and River Street and urged the council to send letters to homeowners; councilors agreed the issue may soon require formal notices.
During the public-comment portion of the May 18 meeting, resident Ronnie Austad told the council that several properties have messy yards and cited trash at homes on Park Avenue and River Street that appear to be owned by the same person. Austad asked whether the city had sent letters; the council replied that it had not yet done so and acknowledged the problem could become more serious.
Austad also asked about a meter placed on his River Street property and whether the city would remove it when water is shut off in the fall; Councilor Clarence (Skip) Strom said he would remove that meter and said the city typically reinstalls meters in May and removes them around Sept. 30.
Councilors did not record a formal enforcement timeline or a specific ordinance citation during the meeting. The minutes show the council agreed the matter needed attention but left next steps unspecified.
