*City Newsletter Correction:
Short-Term Rental Ordinance*

The *September-October issue of Heights Highlights [ [link removed] ]* is arriving in Mendota Heights mailboxes soon. Featured in this issue is an article about the City Council’s consideration of a new ordinance regulating short-term rentals in our community.

The article incorrectly states the proposed short-term rental regulations take effect Sept. 17, 2004. Instead, the Council will consider the new ordinance for approval at its Sept. 17 meeting and, if approved, the new regulations take effect immediately.

Find more information and review the proposed ordinance on the City website.

Your Input Needed: Parks Master Plan

In a recent survey, residents shared some great ideas for Parks and Recreation improvements in our community. Now, we need to determine which ideas are feasible and how they could be funded. These include:


* Added recreation programming
* Indoor gathering space
* Improvements to park accessibility
* The development of a new park

Please share your opinion on which, if any, of these projects should be funded as part of the 15-year Parks Master Plan, with a quick 5-question survey!

Basswood
*Tree of the Month: **Basswood (Linden) *

The Basswood tree is a native deciduous overstory tree species in the Malvadeae family. It has a full, dome shape, growing to a mature height of 50-80 feet, with simple, alternate heart-shaped leaves. The Basswood can tolerate shade, but also grows well in full sun, and can tolerate a variety on soil types including clay, alkaline, and occasional drought, though it prefers moist, well-drained soil.

The Basswood tree was once prevalent as part of the native maple-basswood forest community throughout the eastern United States. It makes up approximately 2.5% of the tree canopy in Mendota Heights.
