The Falcon Heights City Council will vote on a motion to rescind Interim Ordinance 20-04 prohibiting the cultivation of front yard vegetable gardens TONIGHT (May 27) at thei meeting that starts at 7pm CDT).

Despite having met remotely for weeks, this meeting will be IN-PERSON at Falcon Heights City Hall (2077 West Larpenteur Avenue, Falcon Heights, MN 55113).

Anyone interested to speak at the meeting should email City Administrator Sack Thongvaunh at sack.thongvanh@falconheights.org ASAP to be added to the agenda. If you are comfortable doing so, it would be *very* helpful to have Falcon Heights residents and other stakeholders show up in-person, if you can do so safely. The Council has assured us they have a plan for social distancing.

Anyone unable or uncomfortable to attend in-person can submit video testimony (<3 minutes) to the same email address: sack.thongvanh@falconheights.org. Videos sent before 2:30pm today will be considered for playing at the meeting.

Thanks and please help make a final push everyone!!
