GRUNDY CENTER — A long-standing dispute between the City of Grundy Center and a citizen appears to be heading toward an agreement.
Andy King, who lives in the 300 block of Seventh Street, approached the Council about receiving a variance to move a sidewalk that would allow him to keep the bushes at his home.
“I’ll just get straight to the point and not go back 12 years and (discuss) who’s responsible for what and whatever’s happened,” he said during the public comment portion of the meeting.
