The abatements are accomplished by board-ups and/or demolition. Property owners <br />are given 2 to 30 days depending on the severity of the hazardous conditions to abate the situation <br />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 costs <br />expended for abatement of dangerous and abandoned properties. This year the outstanding charge <br />for work performed on five parcels is $7,129.58 (Exhibit 1). The property owner names are provided <br />in Exhibit 2. The most effective method of collection is to submit these charges to the office of the <br />County Auditor/Controller 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, 2013. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />The recovered charge will result in an estimated $7,129.58 in the Special Repair and Demolition <br />Fund account (no. 12115002-53507). <br />APPROVED AS TO FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS: <br />J".
