INTRODUCTION
The enclosed material provides for the levy of special assessments for 2012 Weed /Junk/Garbage Enforcement Programs.
This project reflects areas inspected from March 2012 to October 30, 2012.
BACKGROUND
The City received compliance from the majority of the property owners who received notices. Nineteen (19) property owners
did not comply with the notice to cut weeds or remove garbage /unk. In such situations, the policy of the City is to correct the
defects and levy the 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.
DISCUSSION
The total amount of the assessments is $3697.06, which is being levied against twenty -two separate parcels of property.
RECOMMENDATION
I would recommend that the City Council approve the attached final assessment schedule.
