We are asking that you clear your property immediately of grass, brush, or weeds that may
become a hazard during these summer months. 'A small investment now will help to alleviate
serious potential for fire and property loss later. It is your responsibility to keep the property clear of
weeds and grass year round - not just during summer months.
If you would like specific information as to when the best time to mow is, how high you can leave
the grass, or what to do later in the year, please feel free to call my office at 707 584 -2641.
Thank you for this opportunity to work with you.
Sincerely,
