HAVEN, Kan. — The Haven City Council will look over a proposed ordinance dealing with overgrowth of weeds and grass on sidewalks and street curbs when they meet this evening.
Under the proposed ordinance it will be unlawful to sweep clippings, dirt or other debris into the street, gutters or drains. It would also be unlawful for residents to allow dirt, debris, grass or weeds to over grow or cover adjacent sidewalks.
Violation of the ordinance would be a $75 fine plus court costs. If a property owner fails to clean up the area, the city can do so and then collect the costs associated with the clean up on a special assessment on the owners property tax statement.
Also tonight, the council will go into executive session regarding the vacancy in the Haven Police Department.
Tonight’s meeting of the Haven City Council begins at 7 p.m. at the Haven City offices at 120 S. Kansas Ave.
