If you drive up Mill Pond Drive Southeast across from Auburn Riverside High School, you will see, or should I say, you can see part of the monument that reads “Lakeland Hills North.”

The grass has grown so tall it is now hiding the flowers that were planted in front of the monument.

Whose responsibility is it? I have lived in the Mill Pond condominiums for the past seven years and this grass has always been maintained. That is, until this spring and now summer.

The Lakeland Hills Homeowners Association told me the property belongs to the apartments on 47th. The apartments say it belongs to the City of Auburn.

Who should be mowing this now two-feet high grass that has now turned to seed?

Mayor Lewis, you live off Mill Pond, do you not see this tall grass every day when you drive down Mill Pond Drive, or do you go the other way so you don’t have to look at it?

The City of Auburn could afford to spend a million dollars on a brick street to nowhere, but we can’t spend money to mow the grass?

Come on, City of Auburn, this is a code violation on someone’s part. Find out whose and fix the problem, or should we just buy a couple of goats?
