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 11th Avenue. <br />Information about the mowing policy is available from Public Works <br />Maintenance, 687 -5220. <br />
