THE CITY OF 14 <br /> ! ° ° r CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT <br /> pL EASANTON, <br /> July 19, 2011 <br /> Fire <br /> TITLE: ADOPT A RESOLUTION DECLARING THAT THE COSTS FOR WEED <br /> ABATEMENT, INCLUDING ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS, ARE A <br /> SPECIAL ASSESSMENT AND LIEN IMPOSED ON THE PROPERTIES <br /> REQUIRING ABATEMENT <br /> SUMMARY <br /> The attached resolution includes an itemized report showing the cost of weed <br /> abatement on a lot-by-lot basis throughout the City. Because the weeds on these <br /> parcels were not voluntarily abated by the property owners, the weeds were abated by a <br /> contractor hired by the City. <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> The Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department (LPFD) recommends that the City Council <br /> adopt the attached resolution overruling protests and approves the Cost Accounting <br /> Report for the 2011 Weed Abatement Program and declares that the abatement costs <br /> are a special assessment and lien imposed on the properties requiring abatement. <br /> FINANCIAL STATEMENT <br /> The weed abatement costs and an administrative fee equal to 100% of the awarded <br /> contract to abate the declared nuisance are fully recoverable and become a special <br /> assessment on the property owner's tax bill. All costs involved with the Weed <br /> Abatement Program are budgeted under Account #122-181-3378. <br />
