(A) The City will not proceed on an administrative allegation of a nuisance except upon a written complaint, which can be filed by a private citizen or any appointed officer or department head of the City. Whenever a written complaint is filed with the City Clerk alleging the existence of a nuisance, the City Clerk shall notify the City Manager, who in turn shall notify the Public Works Director, or such other city official as may appear to said City Manager to be appropriate.
(B) Whenever the Building Inspector, City Manager or other city official delegated to investigate determines a public nuisance exists and the public health, safety or welfare may be in immediate danger, then he/she shall notify the Mayor and/or a councilmember to call an emergency meeting to seek an immediate order of abatement. When emergency abatement is authorized, notice to the owner prior to abatement is not required but the provisions regarding notice of the statement of costs shall be applicable. (Ord. 253, 9-14-2022)
