The abatements are accomplished by board-ups and/or demolition. <br />Property owners are given 2 to 30 days to abate the conditions or the <br />City, through its contractors, will perform the work. The property owner <br />is then notified of the outstanding abatement costs every 30 days until <br />the Planning and Building Agency is reimbursed for the expenditure. <br /> <br />Each year, the City finds it necessary to seek legal recourse in order to <br />recover the uncollected costs expended for abatement of dangerous and <br />abandoned properties. This year the outstanding charges for work <br />performed on three parcels is $1,264.24 (Exhibit 1). The property owner <br />names are provided in Exhibit 2. The most effective method of collection <br />is to submit these charges to the office of the County Auditor/Controller <br />in order that they may be placed as a lien on the property tax rolls. <br />Charges must be submitted to the County by their deadline of August 10, <br />2005. <br /> <br />758-1 <br />
