Yard-Parking Ordinance, Second Reading

The second reading of the yard-parking ordinance is on tonight's City Board agenda. If you would like to go speak on it, please do. The board meets at 6 PM at City Hall. They won't vote on it on a second reading, but Mayor Stodola said at the last meeting that he wants to hear from the public.

If you can't make it, I encourage you to e-mail the board today at Board@littlerock.org. Your message will go to a staff member who will distribute it to the board members.

If you need motivation, take a drive after our yards have been wet for the past few weeks and see the mess.
