City Council Regular Meeting Minutes <br />March 12, 2024 <br />Page 5 <br />1 Mr. Grittman stated Sections 4,5, and 6 address the same issue with a prohibition of attracting <br />2 rodents. Section 4e adds to the definition and sections 5 and 6 impose a duty to owners or renters <br />3 to keep property free of rodent inhabitation. Councilmember Doolan asked if compost bins are <br />4 allowed in this section which could be considered to attract rodents. Mr. Grittman stated there is <br />5 language specific in the Code to allow for composting. Councilmember Doolan stated piling up <br />6 piles of twigs is a good practice making small piles to encourage insects to habitat there. There <br />7 is no other food source for mice or shrews. Mr. Grittman stated if it is not attracting rodents it is <br />8 not subject to this Section. <br />9 <br />10 Mr. Grittman stated Section 7 renumbers an existing section. No language change is proposed. <br />11 <br />12 Mayor Webster stated when she read Section 8 she thought about the large sign for the big box <br />13 store.
