City Manager Fialho confirmed Councilmember Testa's understanding stating that notifications to owners are not sent out until after the resolution has been adopted. Councilmember Brown indicated that Homeowners Associations expect these notifications each year, however due to the Governor's Executive Order currently in effect, professional landscape maintenance is prohibited. In response, City Manager Fialho stated that due to the public safety nature of weed abatement, this would be considered an essential activity, therefore allowed under the Executive Order. Councilmember Narum suggested including the Program's information on the City's website after the resolution is adopted but before the public hearing. Councilmember Testa commented that due to the Executive Order in effect, the timelines are unrealistic and requested they be modified. City Manager Fialho confirmed Councilmember Narum's understanding that although the public hearing is set for May 19, owners would have until June 30 to complete abatement and stated further that Council could take the opportunity at the public hearing to extend the deadline beyond June 30. Councilmember Brown suggested a friendly amendment to move the public hearing date to June 2.
