This staff report is the third and final staff report to the City Council regarding the 2004 Weed <br />Abatement Program. After the City Council meeting on April 05, 2005, Livermore-Pleasanton <br />Fire Depmh~ent inspectors re-surveyed the parcels listed in Resolution No. 05-012. If <br />abatement had not occurred by May 31, 2005, a contractor abated the weeds. The purpose of <br />this public hearing is for the City Council to hear any objections to the cost accounting for the <br />abatement and order that the abatement costs are a special assessment and lien imposed on the <br />properties requiring abatement. <br /> <br />The Government Code provides that the abatement costs, including the administrative costs for <br />enforcement, are recoverable and constitute a special assessment against the parcels that are <br />abated. After the assessment is made, unless an exception applies, a lien attaches on the parcel <br />upon recordation of the order confmning the assessment and the lien will be included on the <br />property owner's regular tax bill for the parcel requiring abatement. An itemized report showing <br />the cost of weed abatement on a lot-by-lot basis throughout the City of Pleasanton is attached to <br />the resolution that accompanies this staff report. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br /> <br />All costs involved with the Weed Abatement Program are budgeted under Account #122-181- <br />4344 and are reimbursable. <br /> <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached <br />Resolution declaring that the costs for weed abatement, including administrative costs, are a <br />special assessment and lien imposed on the properties requiring abatement and approving the <br />Cost Accounting Report for the 2005 Weed Abatement Program. <br />Respectfully Submitted,f-~. ~/~/ <br />William Cody t/ ') Susan Rossi Nelson Fialho <br /> Director City Manager <br />Fire Chief \ / of Finance <br /> <br />SR 05:196 <br /> <br /> <br />
