He attended the April 21, 2022, Board <br />Meeting for Metro Cities. Today there was an executive meeting at MWMO. Representative <br />Fiest and Senator Kunish and Daniel Lightfoot and Irene Kao with the League of MN Cities with <br />Mayor Stille had a meeting earlier today. <br />VIII. COMMUNITY FORUM. <br />Ms. Lona Doolan, 3511 Harding Street, invited St. Anthony residents to participate in No Mow <br />May. This involves residents not cutting their grass until June. This helps pollinators thrive by <br />not cutting the grass during May. Code 94.32 could be suspended during the month of May <br />which would allow the grass to become long without being in violation of the Code. Ms. Doolan <br />stated there is just a question of the type of grass whether being native or wild. <br />Ms. Barb Draper, 2608 Armour Terrace, stated she is in favor of No Mow May. This cost <br />nothing to be pollinator friendly. New Brighton has adopted this already. She would like some <br />clarification that allows for No Mow May. Mayor Stille stated the City will get back to Ms. <br />Draper about the loosening of the Code. <br />Ms. Erin Jordahl Redlin, 3012 Armour Terrace, stated she is also in favor of No Mow May and <br />reminded residents not to work in their gardens as the pollinators will thrive there also. <br />IX.
