<br /> - <br /> TALL GRASS PRESS RELEASE <br /> Page 2 <br /> August 17, 1993 <br /> Hot, dry weather following a wet spring only compounds the problem of <br /> overgrown vegetation. "Tall grass and weeds dry very quickly in hot weather, <br /> increasing fire danger," says Foerstler. <br /> Property owners are urged to check their properties to see if grass and <br /> weeds are in violation of the vegetation ordinance. If violations are found <br /> and the ~~r4perty owner does not remove the vegetation, the city will hire a <br /> contractor to mow or remove it, and the costs, including administrative <br /> charge, ill be billed to the property owner. The minimum charge for mowing <br /> undevelo e~ property is $135. "Property owners usually find the mowing done <br /> by a priNate contractor is less expensive than if the city's contractor <br /> corrects', the violation," Foerstler says. <br /> For more information about the City of Eugene's vegetation management <br /> program,~~~c~ll 687-5220. <br /> <br />
