Marble Falls town-hall meeting over yard ordinances could lead to changes, officials say

MARBLE FALLS — Officials hope a town-hall meeting to solicit residents’ concerns about new property ordinances for front yards will lead to changes in the rules everyone can live with.

“I was very pleased to see the number of citizens (who) came to this,” said Councilwoman Sharon Pittard. “(They came) to give their input. (They came) from all walks of life — everybody. It was great.”
