The board made no changes on the grass ordinance at this Brad Thompson also asked about how thet town should handle violations that exist without proper permits. Do we go back and charge for those? We don't have any permits or dates on when those violations occurred. Mayor Holt stated that would be hard to address but thinks moving forward that if someone does violate the ordinance without permits we should charge them double permit fees and they stilll havet tot follow the property steps and guidelines of the ordinance.
