SUBJECT: First Half of 2009 Weed Assessments
DATE: August 6, 2009
INTRODUCTION
The enclosed material provides for the levy of special assessments for the first half of
the 2009 Weed Enforcement Program. This project reflects areas inspected from
January 1, 2009 to August 3, 2009.
DISCUSSION
The City received compliance from the majority of the property owners who received
notices. Fourteen (14) property owners did not comply with the notice to cut weeds.
In such situations, the policy of the City is to correct the defects and levy the
construction costs against property owners in the form of a special assessment,
including the costs of a contractor performing the work and a $25 administrative charge.
The City hired a private contractor as provided for in State statute.
The total amount of the assessments is $1067.50, which is being levied against
fourteen separate parcels of property.
RECOMMENDATION
I would recommend that the City Council approve the attached final assessment
schedule.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
The City Council is requested to adopt the attached resolution establishing the final
assessment schedule.
