Latest version.
  • The city administrator, or his designee, is authorized and directed to abate any and all such nuisances:
    (a) When no written objections have been filed with the office of the city clerk within ten (10) days after the posting and/or mailing of the notice, or
    (b) When the city council has so directed.
    Any person owning, managing or having control, charge or occupancy of any such property, shall have the right to destroy or remove such weeds, rubbish, garbage, and accumulated dirt or to have the same destroyed or removed, prior to the arrival of the city employees or contractor; provided that any costs incurred by the city including investigation, boundary determination, measurement, clerical, contractual, and other incidental costs may be assessed and a lien imposed on such private property. It shall, however, be unlawful for any such person to burn any such weeds, rubbish, or garbage without first having obtained a written permit to do so from the chief of the fire department and without complying with all state and local regulations governing such burning, including those of the air quality management district. (Ord. No. 1085, § 3, Ex. A; Ord. No. 1126, § 3, Ex. B.)
