This report by the Star Tribune covered a Mendota Heights City Council vote to approve an ordinance on maintenance of commercial properties.
This was a very short report on the council meeting, and the reporter did not choose to go in to any real depth about what the new ordinance means for Mendota Heights.
This report was a basic summary about what the ordinance is and what it requires from commercial property owners.
To go more in depth with this story, I would want to talk to commercial property owners and residents in the area to get their take on the new ordinance. It would bring more humanity and relevance to the story.
It would also be interesting to know the consequences if the new ordinance is violated.
