    First Reading: Ordinance Amendment for Vacant Building Grass Height

    A first reading of an ordinance amendment was scheduled for consideration that would update Section 925.02 of Richfield City Code to raise the allowable grass height on vacant properties from 6 inches to 8 inches. This change was expected to bring the city's vacant property regulations into alignment with a state law that took effect July 1, 2023. The section was inadvertently overlooked when a related ordinance was amended in October 2023, and the City Attorney reviewed and approved the proposed language prior to the meeting.
