firefighters. No local cash match
is required. Supervisor Bulova seconded
the motion and it carried by a vote of nine, Supervisor McConnell being
out of the room.
Chairman Connolly stated for the record that
this was a significant expansion of staffing and committed the County to
that expansion in exchange for the accepting of the funds. He said that like the old Community Oriented
Policing Services program, it ramped-up County funding over a four-year
time period but that increase in staffing and money must be weighed against
the importance of protecting public safety.

83. GRASS CUTTING
(MASON DISTRICT) (
Supervisor Gross said that she has received several complaints from residents in her district about neighbors not cutting their grass. Many of the complaints are coming from neighbors who live in areas where the properties in question are over half an acre, which doesn’t meet the current standards of the Code.
She said that, in the past, her staff would contact the Health Department and the issue would be addressed. A notice of violation would be sent to the homeowner referring to the code section 302.4 in the International Property Maintenance Code 2000.
This Code has been in existence since 1996. Apparently, it was revised in 2000 and parts of the exterior property sections were deleted. One Section, 302.4 (Weeds) was deleted. It states “All premises and exterior property shall be maintained free from weeds of plants growth in excess of ten inches. All noxious weeds shall be prohibited. Weeds shall be defined as all grasses, annual plants, and vegetation, other than trees or shrubs provided; however, this shall not include cultivated flowers and gardens.”

GUIDELINES FOR SANITARY SERVICE DISTRICT CUSTOMERS (
Supervisor Gross said that Board Members should have received late last week the new FY 2006 Trash and Recycling Guidelines for Sanitary District Customers along with a copy of the brochure which will be sent to homeowners who are in the sanitary service districts.
Supervisor Gross said that under the new guidelines the County will be charging for pickup of tree trunks, etcetera. She said that there is a lot of information to be read in the brochure and doesn’t think that it will be read in its entirety. She said that homeowners in the sanitary service districts should know that the County does not and has not been providing that kind of service to pick up tree trunks when trees are taken down. Now the County will provide that service for a fee. She said this message needs to get out to the community and the contractors.
Therefore, Supervisor Gross asked unanimous consent that the Board direct the Office of Public Affairs to work with the Division of Solid Waste Collection and Recycling, Department of Public Works and Environmental Services, to ensure that the information is disseminated as widely as possible. Without objection, it was so ordered.
Supervisor Gross also asked unanimous consent that the issue be referred to the Consumer Protection Commission for review and recommendations. Without objection, it was so ordered.
