As Recommended ? As Amended ? Ordinance on 1St Reading ? Ordinance on 2nd Reading ? Implementing Resolution ? Set Public Hearing For CONTINUED TO FILE NUMBER Adopt a resolution affirming the Fiscal Year 2010-2011 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 clear private properties 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 12 months for the same violation, the City assesses a posting charge. Each year the City finds it necessary to seek legal recourse to recover the uncollected costs of posting violations and cleaning various parcels. This year there are $62,755 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 Orange 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 is August 10, 2011 to include these charges on the next property tax roll. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT There is no environmental impact associated with this action. 75B-1 Resolution - Weed Abatement Public Nuisance Report Fiscal Year 2010-2011 July 18, 2010 Page 2 FISCAL IMPACT After affirmation by the Council, the charges will be submitted directly to the Office of the Auditor- Controller, County of Orange for collection.
