Aldermen will also consider a proposed ordinance that would allow city workers to go onto private property to remove overgrown weeds… and ensures that the workers would not face a trespassing charge for doing so.
The ordinance requested by Mayor Mike Houston says the ordinance would apply to the removal of, quote, “the rank growth… of noxious weeds that threaten the health, safety and welfare of citizens.”
The measure will be on first reading before the Springfield City Council this week.
