THE CITY OF <br />PL£ASANTONC <br />CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT <br />July 19, 2016 <br />Fire <br />TITLE: CONSIDER A RESOLUTION DECLARING THAT THE COSTS FOR <br />WEED 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. The weeds on these parcels were <br />not voluntarily abated by the property owners. There were five (5) property owners who <br />did not abate the weeds on their properties. The contractor did not enter four (4) of <br />these parcels because they are fenced. We have referred the fenced parcels to code <br />enforcement for further action. The weeds on one (1) parcel were abated by a <br />contractor hired by the City. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Adopt the attached resolution overruling protests, approving the Cost Accounting Report <br />for the 2016 Weed Abatement Program and declaring that the abatement costs are a <br />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 />
