Townsend City Council members suggested changes to the language of their official letter of noncompliance for weed control in the city when resident Jan Hubber, 409 I Street, complained about receiving a generic letter of noncompliance for her property. She explained she has just started landscaping around her new home and did not have weeds. She pointed out other properties in the city that have huge weed problems compared to her property, that are not in compliance. Council members discussed the language change. No formal action was taken.

In other business, City Attorney Peter Simon presented a resolution to set new building code fees for the city. Discussion surrounded language around small buildings and sizes of poured slabs for buildings. Attorney Simon will present the final draft for the Council at the next meeting. The new building code fees become effective on August 19, 2022.

The Council approved Townsend Rotary’s request for closure of Hwy 12/ Broadway St for Fall Fest on October 2nd to accommodate the car show.

The meeting was adjourned to work on the 2022 Budget.
