Set Public Hearing For CONTINUED TO FILE NUMBER Adopt a resolution affirming the Fiscal Year 2010-2011 Dangerous and Abandoned Building Program Report and authorize the transmittal of uncollected Dangerous and Abandoned Building charge to the office of Auditor-Controller, County of Orange. 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 that harbor illegal activity. The abatements are accomplished by board-ups and/or demolition. Property owners are given 2 to 30 days depending on the severity of the hazardous conditions to abate the situation or the City, through its contractors, will perform the work. 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 charge for work performed on ten parcels is $22,883.59 (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, 2011. 75A-1 Recovery of Uncollected Costs for Abatement of Dangerous and Abandoned Buildings July 18, 2011 Page 2 FISCAL IMPACT The recovered charge will result in an estimated $22,883.59 in the Special Repair and Demolition Fund account (no. 12115002-53507).
