J <br /> News Release -- Right -of -way mowing <br /> May 4, 1987 <br /> Page 2. <br /> Under the new policy, enforcement will focus on the City's previous <br /> mowing routes and on those sites where complaints are received. Staff <br /> will send letters to property owners in violation, notifying them they have <br /> 10 days to mow the right -of -way. If mowing is not done, the city will mow <br /> it, and bill the property owner for the work. <br /> Hammitt urged property owners to take care of the mowing themselves. <br /> "The minimum charge for mowing is $75, and by doing the work themselves or by <br /> hiring a contractor to mow it, property owners should save considerable <br /> money," he said. <br /> Public Works crews will continue to mow along the unimproved section of <br /> arterials, such as llth Avenue. <br /> Information about the mowing policy is available from Public Works <br /> Maintenance, 687 -5220. <br /> # ## <br />
