During its meeting Monday, the Sedalia City Council passed three new ordinances dealing with grass, rubbish and construction materials. The ordinances were recommendations from the Citizens for a Clean Sedalia committee, which was charged with looking at some of the aesthetic problems and code violations facing Sedalia.
After a rocky start, with the council split on whether the committee should be formed and Mayor Elaine Horn breaking the tie in favor, the committee spent the past five months learning about city procedures and ordinances.
