Property owners in violation of this requirement are notified and <br />provided an opportunity to cure the nuisance. If the violation is not addressed within a <br />specified period of time City staff and/or private contractors are directed to abate the nuisance. <br />The cost of abatement is charged to the property owner. In the event that the property owner <br />fails to pay the costs incurred the City may certify the charges against the property for <br />collection with property taxes. <br />In 2014 3 properties failed to pay the applicable abatement charges. The affected property owners <br />received certified, registered mailed notice of this proceeding and have been allowed ample time <br />to pay the delinquent charges. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff Recommends Approval of Resolution No. 14-113 <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />1.
