126 May. He did not think a lot ofpeople understood No Mow May last year. He <br />127 thought less mow is good but he thought the City needed to look at the bigger <br />128 picture. It is not just one month;it needs to carry on and maybe relax the Code <br />129 violations all the way to July to allow people to catch up mowing their longer lawns <br />130 without ruining them. He also thought the City could look at islands on the property <br />131 that would not be in violation of the Ordinance. <br />132 <br />133 Chair Ficek asked what the Roseville parks did for No Mow May in 2022. <br />134 <br />135 Mr. Englund indicated the parks still mowed in active areas. <br />136 <br />137 Chair Ficek wondered if there were any City areas that could lead by example. <br />138 <br />139 Mr. Freihammer explained that could be something looked at independently from <br />140 this. <br />141 <br />142 Member Hodder explained he liked the idea ofless mow because it is a balance <br />143 through the summer. <br />144 <br />145 Member Luongo indicated she was in favor of this. <br />146 <br />147 Member Cicha thought the Commission should recommend to the City Council to <br />148 extend the moratoriums on Code Enforcement in April and May for 2023. He also <br />149 liked the idea of mowing the edge of the lawn and leave the inside growing all year. <br />150 He was in favor of making a recommendation to include that kind of relaxation of <br />151 the Code. <br />152 <br />153 Member Cicha indicated he would also be in favor of the City providing a source <br />154 where residents could purchase seed for pollinator areas to plant. <br />155 <br />156 Chair Ficek asked if last year there were yard signs indicating No Mow May. <br />157 <br />158 Mr. Johnson explained signs were not used, but this year yard signs could be used <br />159 and the City does havesome money set aside for yard signs or window clings to <br />160 promote No Mow/Less Mow May. <br />161 <br />162 Motion <br />163 Member Collinsmoved, Member Hodderseconded, to recommend the City <br />164 Council take a look at the City Ordinance regarding No Mow/Less Mow May <br />165 and to relax the Code violation period before and after the event. <br />166 <br />167 Ayes: 5 <br />168 Nays: 0 <br />169 Motion carried. <br />170 <br />171 Motion <br />Page 4of 5 <br /> <br />
