INTRODUCTION
The enclosed material provides for the levy of special assessments for
Weed/Junk/Garbage Enforcement Programs with the Health Services Department. This
project reflects properties enforced on from June 22, 2016 to November 18, 2016.
DISCUSSION
The City received compliance from the majority of the property owners who received
notices. Twenty-seven (27) property owners did not comply with a notice to cut weeds
or remove garbage/junk (see attached Schedule of Assessments).
In such situations, the policy of the City is to correct the violations 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 $3,760.35, which is being levied against twenty-
seven (27) separate parcels of property.
Also, per our nuisance enforcement policy, six (6) property owners received a municipal
infraction, since it was their third violation in 12 months (highlighted on attached
Schedule).
RECOMMENDATION
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.
