REQUEST FOR <br />COUNCIL ACTION <br />CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: <br />JULY 7, 2008 <br />TITLE: <br />PUBLIC HEARING - WEED <br />ABATEMENT PUBLIC NUISANCE <br />REPORT FISCAL YEAR 2007-2008 <br />~ w <br />CI ANAGER <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: <br />APPROVED <br />^ As Recommended <br />^ As Amended <br />^ Ordinance on 1St Reading <br />^ Ordinance on 2"d Reading <br />^ Implementing Resolution <br />^ Set Public Hearing For_ <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />Adopt a resolution affirming the fiscal year 2007-2008 Weed Abatement <br />Program Report and authorize the transmittal of uncollected weed <br />abatement charges and postings to the Office of Auditor-Controller, <br />County of Orange. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The Public Works Agency operates a year round program to maintain private <br />properties free of weeds and rubbish. City sanitation inspectors post <br />properties notifying owners of unsightly or unsafe conditions. Property <br />owners have ten days to abate the conditions or the City will perform the <br />work through its contractor. When posting a property a second time <br />within twelve months for the same violation, the City assesses a posting <br />charge. The property owner is notified of such outstanding charges every <br />30 days until the charges are paid. <br />Each year the City finds it necessary to seek legal recourse in order to <br />recover the uncollected costs of posting violations and cleaning various <br />parcels throughout the City. This year there are $60,833 in outstanding <br />charges for parcels cleaned by the City contractor and posted by City <br />crews (Exhibit 1). The most effective method of collection has been to <br />submit these charges to the Office of the County Auditor-Controller. The <br />fees are included in the property tax rolls and if in default, are <br />payable when the property changes ownership. The County's deadline for <br />inclusion is August 10, 2008. <br />75B-1 <br />
