Since that Village of Brunswick now has zoning, there will be more enforcement on getting village lots cleaned up of debris or tall grass and weeds. The board discussed that there are a few lots in town that need attention and we need to get the proper forms in place to send out notices.

Clerk Buck would be sending out the letters in the July invoices.
