DISCUSSION The City's Dangerous and Abandoned Building Program has proven to be an effective tool to abate dangerous and abandoned structures that create an attractive nuisance and provide harborage for illegal activity. The abatements are accomplished by board -ups and/or demolition. Property owners are given 2 to 30 days to abate the conditions or the City, through its contractors, will perform the work. The property owners are then notified of the outstanding abatement costs every 30 days until the Planning and Building Agency is reimbursed for the expenditure. Each year, the City finds it necessary to seek legal recourse in order to recover the uncollected costs expended for abatement of dangerous buildings and against reluctant property owners. This year the outstanding charge for work performed on two separate addresses is $5,761.32. Parcel numbers and total assessment amounts provided (Exhibit 1). The property owner names are also provided (Exhibit 2). The most effective method of collection is to submit these charges to the office of the County Auditor/Controller so that a lien may be placed on the property tax rolls. Charges must be submitted to the County of Orange. Therefore, staff is recommending that the City Council adopt a resolution affirming the Fiscal Year 2019-2020 Dangerous and Abandoned Building Program Report and authorize the transmittal of uncollected Dangerous and Abandoned Building charge to the Office of Auditor -Controller, County of Orange (Exhibit 3). FISCAL IMPACT The recovered charge will result in an estimated $5,761.32 deposited in the Special Repair and Demolition Fund (Account No. 12116002-53507). 75B-1 Dangerous and Abandoned Building Assessment July 21, 2020 Page 2 Fiscal Impact Verified By: Kathryn Downs, CPA, Executive Director— Finance and Management Services Agency Submitted By: Minh Thai, Executive Director - Planning and Building Agency Exhibits: 1.
