At a public hearing over nuisance violations, the owner of 302 East Potter said she had mowed the front but saplings regrew inside the lot; the board directed staff to seek the owner's consent to inspect and authorized staff to file a complaint if the lot is not brought into compliance within 30 days.

A motion authorizing staff (Jason) to file a complaint if the property is not cleaned within 30 days passed; staff will report back at the next Board of Works meeting.
