(a) It is hereby determined that grass growing at a height in excess of eight inches, or noxious weeds growing at a height in excess of ten inches, upon any property in the Village after the first day of April of each year are a public nuisance.
(b) The Village Administrator for two weeks prior to the first day of April of each year, shall publish this determination in a newspaper of local circulation and shall make demand that all property owners regularly cut the grass or weeds growing upon their properties during the ensuing months of the year.
(c) Should any such grass or weeds be found within the Village after the foregoing publication has been completed, the Village Administrator may cause these to be cut at the expense of the Village. Thereupon the expense of cutting shall be billed to the property owner by US Mail and upon his failure to reimburse the Village this amount within thirty days thereafter, the Solicitor shall collect the same by judicial process. Any judgment uncollected for thirty days after its date shall be recorded in the records of the Clerk of the Common Pleas Court of Wyandot County, Ohio, as a lien upon the lands of the property owner concerned.
(d) This section shall not be construed as repealing Section 557.01 but is supplementary thereto.
