Grass Clipping PSA Campaign Is Planned
Grass clippings from freshly mowed lawns continues to be a problem in Sedalia. During a rain these clippings are frequently washed into storm sewers causing blockage and can potentially cause sewer back-ups into home basements. Consequently, it is a violation of city ordinances to allow grass clippings to go into a street. This topic was discussed at a recent City Council work session. As a result, there will be a more aggressive informational campaign to inform citizens that it is illegal to allow grass clippings to go into the street. Currently, when a violation is observed, a door hangar warning is placed at the home. Discussions soon will be underway about the possibility of placing flyers on this topic in utility bills in addition to other public service announcements.
July 4th Fireworks Display Will Be At State Fairgrounds
The Sedalia City Council has approved moving forward with plans for the annual July 4th fireworks display at the Missouri State Fairgrounds Grandstand. At the May 7th council meeting, the Council gave the OK for a facilities use agreement between the City and the State Fairgrounds. While the Blue Ribbon Commission raises funds necessary to put on the fireworks display and entertainment, the City of Sedalia helps by leasing the grandstand from the Missouri State Fairgrounds (at no cost to the City) and extending our liability insurance to satisfy the requirements of the State.
