DISCUSSION The City's Dangerous and Abandoned Building Program has proven to be an effective tool to abate dangerous and abandoned structures that create an attractive nuisance for children and provide harborage for illegal activity. The abatements are accomplished by board-ups and/or demolition. Property owners are given 2 to 30 days to abate the conditions or the City, through its contractors, will perform the work. The property owner is then notified of the outstanding abatement costs every 30 days until the Planning and Building Agency is reimbursed for the expenditure. Each year, the City finds it necessary to seek legal recourse in order to recover the uncollected costs expended for abatement of dangerous and abandoned properties. This year the outstanding charges for work performed on nine parcels is $10,171.99 (Exhibit 1) The property owner names are provided in Exhibit 2. The most effective method of collection is to submit these charges to the office of the County Auditor/Controller in order that they may be placed as a lien on the property tax rolls. Charges must be submitted to the County by their deadline of August 10, 2007. 75B-1 Recovery of Uncollected Costs for Abatement of Dangerous and Abandoned Buildings July 16, 2007 Page 2 FISCAL IMPACT The recovered charges will result in an estimated $10,171.99 in the Special Repair and Demolition Fund (fund no. 121-01-5579).
