Iola needs to purge itself from the lawn care business, Iola City Administrator Matt Rehder said Monday.
Rehder, speaking with the Iola City Council, discussed the city’s policy regarding unkempt lawns.
Those who allow their grass to grow higher than 12 inches are sent a public notice that the lawn needs to be cut. If the lawn is not cut within 10 days, city crews do the mowing.
