The mowing ordinance is in effect starting in April. Vegetation, including grass and weeds is to be no more than 6″ in height. No warning letter will be sent, as the ordinance will be posted in full on this site and at the post office, bank and City Hall, as well as published in the MidIowa Enterprise annually. If the City mows the nuisance, it will be a fee of $100 per person per hour, with a minimum of $200. The City does not want to mow it any more than you want to get fined.
