Council discusses informal volunteer help for residents with code issues

City of Bertram City Council · December 10, 2025

Summary

Council members discussed a request to alert volunteers to help an elderly resident with an overgrown lot and recalled past city cleanup day efforts to assist residents who could not manage yard work themselves; no formal program or citations were reported.

During the code enforcement report council members raised the case of an elderly resident with an overgrown lot who "needs some help," and discussed how to alert volunteers or organize assistance. One council member recalled that during past city cleanup days volunteers would help haul items to the city dump and clean yards for residents unable to do the work themselves.

Clerk/Code enforcement noted there had been no citations in the recent period, and council members suggested informal outreach rather than creating a formal program at this time. No formal motion or budget appropriation was made during the discussion.
