As Recommended <br />? As Amended <br />? Ordinance on 15` 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 2010-2011 Dangerous and Abandoned Building <br />Program Report and authorize the transmittal of uncollected Dangerous and Abandoned Building <br />charge to the office of Auditor-Controller, County of Orange. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The City's Dangerous and Abandoned Building Program has proven to be an effective tool to <br />abate dangerous and abandoned structures that create an attractive nuisance for children and <br />that harbor illegal activity. The abatements are accomplished by board-ups and/or demolition. <br />Property owners are given 2 to 30 days depending on the severity of the hazardous conditions <br />to abate the situation or the City, through its contractors, will perform the work. <br />Each year, the City finds it necessary to seek legal recourse in order to recover the uncollected <br />costs expended for abatement of dangerous and abandoned properties. This year the <br />outstanding charge for work performed on ten parcels is $22,883.59 (Exhibit 1). The property <br />owner names are provided in Exhibit 2. The most effective method of collection is to submit <br />these charges to the office of the County Auditor/Controller in order that they may be placed as <br />a lien on the property tax rolls. Charges must be submitted to the County by their deadline of <br />August 10, 2011. <br />75A-1
