TO: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
FROM: Mary Rose Corrigan, Public Health Specialist
SUBJECT: Weed/Junk/Garbage Assessments
DATE: November 14, 2014
INTRODUCTION
The enclosed material provides for the levy of special assessments for
Weed/Junk/Garbage Enforcement Programs. This project reflects areas inspected from
July 1, 2014 to October 16, 2014.
DISCUSSION
The City received compliance from the majority of the property owners who received
notices. Thirteen (13) property owners did not comply with the notice to cut weeds or
remove garbage/junk.
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 hires private
contractors as provided for in State statute.
The total amount of the assessments is $1,350.00, which is being levied against
eighteen (18) 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.
