DISCUSSION The Public Works Agency operates a year round program to maintain private properties free of weeds and rubbish. City sanitation inspectors post properties notifying owners of unsightly or unsafe conditions. Property owners have ten days to abate the conditions or the City will perform the work through its contractor. When posting a property a second time within twelve months for the same violation, the City assesses a posting charge. The property owner is notified of such outstanding charges every 30 days until the charges are paid. Each year the City finds it necessary to seek legal recourse in order to recover the uncollected costs of posting violations and cleaning various parcels throughout the City. This year there are $47/392 in outstanding charges for parcels cleaned by the Ci ty contractor and posted by city crews (Exhibit 1). The most effective method of collection has been to submit these charges to the Office of the County Auditor-Controller. The fees are included in the property tax rolls and if in default, are payable when the property changes ownership. The County/s deadline for inclusion is August 10/ 2005. 75C-1 Weed Abatement Public Nuisance Report Fiscal Year 2004-2005 July 18, 2005 Page 2 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT There is no environmental impact associated with this action.
