BACKGROUND <br /> The weed abatement program, provided in Government Code sections 39560 — 39588, <br /> established a mechanism for assuring the removal of weeds, dirt, rubbish and refuse on <br /> specified properties that constitutes a public nuisance. All of the owners of properties <br /> included in the attached Exhibit A have been mailed a Notice to abate the nuisance on <br /> their parcels which included the public hearing date. In cases where there was an <br /> insufficient mailing address, the notice was posted conspicuously on the property. Each <br /> notice was sent with a list of weed abatement standards. A proof of service was <br /> completed by the Fire Department for our files to certify what documents were sent to the <br /> property owners. <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> At this hearing, after considering any objections to the proposed abatement, the City <br /> Council should overrule the objections to the proposed abatement and/or amend the list <br /> of properties to be abated. The City Council should then adopt the attached resolution, <br /> as amended (if at all), that orders a contractor to abate the weeds on the properties <br /> attached in Exhibit A. <br /> After this hearing, Fire Inspectors will re-survey each parcel listed for compliance. If <br /> abatement has not occurred by May 31, 2014, a contractor will abate the weeds. At a <br /> public hearing this summer, staff will recommend that the City Council order that the <br /> abatement costs be a special assessment and lien imposed on the properties requiring <br /> abatement for any outstanding invoices. <br /> Submitted by: / Fiscal Review: Approved by: <br /> 19(4 <br /> Jim Mi u I I Emily E.
