For the second meeting in a row, Mt. Carmel City officials took time last Monday to remind residents to abate any possible ordinance violations. Specifically, Mayor Joe Judge highlighted tall grass and the need for residents to make sure their grass isn’t above the 8 inch maximum as set by ordinance. And while issuing the reminder, Judge also took time to dispel a common misconception about how the city enforces the tall grass ordinance…
Judge said if the city has to mow your yard, it’s $75 the first time, $150 the second time, and then $300 for every time after that. He said anyone with trouble mowing their yard or being able to pay someone to mow their yard, should call City Hall before an ordinance violation is issued.
