People won't see enforcement officers out in their yards with rulers measuring the height of a blade of grass. Our intent is to be reasonable and we're willing to work with individuals to rectify the problem, whatever it is.

This is especially helpful when dealing with absentee owners and it has proven to be very effective in other cities we've looked at.
