DANA POINT
The council is scheduled to consider authorizing a mandatory removal of weeds on private property. If weeds become a public safety hazard, state law gives the city the authority to remove them.
City Manager John B. Bahorski said the mandatory weed removal is done annually before the summer fire season. Homeowners are given an opportunity to voluntarily remove the weeds; if the city does the work, the homeowner will be charged.
Bahorski said increased residential development has helped reduce the problem over the years.
The City Council meets at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at 33282 Street of the Golden Lantern.
