Adopt a resolution affirming the fiscal year 2007-2008 Weed Abatement
Program Report and authorize the transmittal of uncollected weed
abatement charges and postings to the Office of Auditor-Controller,
County of Orange.
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 $60,833 in outstanding
charges for parcels cleaned by the City 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, 2008.
