If the owner or such other person having care of or being in control of the land or premises on which the nuisance exists, fails to abate the nuisance within the time allotted by the Village Administrator, or within any additional time granted by the Administrator following any appeal, the Village Administrator may proceed to take the appropriate action necessary to abate the nuisance.
(a) The charge for abatement of the nuisance by the Village, to the owner or such other person having care of or being in control of the land upon which the nuisance exists, shall be at a rate of two hundred dollars ($200.00) per man hour, port-to-port. The charge shall be double if the abatement is a repeat of a previous notice to the said person in violation of the ordinance.
(b) The Village Administrator shall notify such owner or other person by certified mail, or by regular mail if certified mail is unclaimed, that the nuisance has been abated by the Village and that such owner or other responsible person shall have thirty (30) days in which to reimburse to the Village the cost of the abatement of the nuisance.
(c) If the cost of the abatement of the nuisance is not paid in full after the time period set forth herein, the Village Administrator shall request the Village Clerk to certify the amount of the cost of the abatement of the nuisance to the appropriate county auditor for the collection of the amount due as part of the real estate taxes and assessments for the said real estate.
