Pursuant to City Municipal Code, Chapter 8.32, Weed and Rubbish Abatement, the City
held a Public Hearing on February 10, 2009, to adopt a resolution declaring weeds,

thereof. The City is also required to hold a Public Hearing to consider any objections by
property owners to the proposed removal of weeds, rubbish, refuse and dirt should the
owners neglect to clear their properties.

the Council's adoption of Resolution 2009- 02, declaring weeds, rubbish, refuse and dirt on
private properties to be a nuisance.
Property owners will have until May 1' 2009, to abate their parcels before City staff begins
abatement work. If a private lot has not been abated after May 1, 2009, and the City's staff
abates the property, the property owner will be assessed the cost of abatement at $0.02
per square foot plus a $306.00 Administrative Fee.
FISCAL IMPACT
None. All costs will be recovered through separate billing, including the Administrative Fee
of $306.00 per parcel.
