← Back to tracker Ban status
No GLB ordinance enacted. Town Council voted 6–1 against proposed amendments on December 8, 2025. The rejected amendments would have expanded lawn-care equipment restrictions (multiple pieces before 8am) and added federal-holiday Sunday rules — not a full GLB ban. Existing Vienna Town Code §10-20.1 limits lawn equipment to 7am–8pm Mon–Fri, 8am–8pm Sat and federal holidays, no Sunday for paid contractors (residents on own yard exempt).
Council members named in debate: Howard Springsteen (hesitant); Jessica Ramakis (wanted noise study first); Chuck Anderson (introduced the April 2025 work session). Public testimony divided: residents advocated for full GLB ban; landscapers (Wheat's Landscaping; Prestige Lawn & Landscape) opposed restrictions.
