Resident asks Southgate council to ban bamboo; local candidate introduces campaign
Summary
At the June 17 Southgate council meeting, resident Christine Bauer urged the council to adopt an ordinance banning invasive bamboo after it began encroaching from a neighbor’s yard; Brandt Owens also introduced himself and said he is running for Campbell County Commissioner.
City Clerk Brandi Barton opened the public-comment period at the June 17 Southgate City Council meeting where resident Christine Bauer, of 145 Center St., raised a nuisance complaint about invasive bamboo encroaching from her neighbor’s property at 143 Center St. Bauer asked the council to consider an ordinance that would ban bamboo and require its removal when it crosses property lines.
Brandt Owens of Newport introduced himself to the council and said he is running for Campbell County Commissioner. Council members did not take immediate action on the bamboo request; the item was recorded as public comment and would require staff follow-up or a formal agenda item for any ordinance change.
