City Committee Seeks Clean-Up Of Vacant Baytown Lots
The Baytown Chamber clean-up committee will ask the city council on Sept. 23 to start removing debris from vacant lots immediately. Debris harbors germs and rodents and hinders mowing, said committee chairman Fred Wichlep. The city had not scheduled debris clearing until February. City Manager Fritz Lanham and Assistant City Sanitarian Gerald Landry explained mowing plans, noting three city mowers, private mowing contracts with Ellis Ford, and biennial surveys of lots with numbered addresses and owner names. Notices are sent by certified mail, with liens possible after a 10 day window if bills remain unpaid. One third of property owners mow their own lots. others bill owners. (See DEBRIS, Page 2).
