Plain English

Bloomington, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 15 § 15.19 requires the city itself to take genuine, good-faith steps to inform property owners whose land includes burial grounds or Class I and Class II sites about the existence of Article II, what it requires, and what penalties apply for violations. The obligation rests with the city, not with property owners. This is a procedural notice requirement designed to ensure affected owners are aware of the regulation before they could be held accountable under it.
