In the event that it is necessary for the City to remove any noxious weeds, vegetation, litter, solid waste, demolition material, trees or shrubbery from a lot or land within the City as a result of the owner or the person having the possession of the property within the City failing to comply with Section 557.03, then the Service Director, Mayor, Public Health Department Official, Chief of Police or his designate shall report the costs of removal to Council, including the costs of investigation, handling of the nuisance complaint, and the costs of service and notification, and, thereafter, upon approval of Council, the Clerk of Council shall cause a written return to be made to the County Auditor with a statement of such costs together
with a description of the premises concerned. This written return shall be in the form as prescribed under the provisions of the Ohio Revised Code and the amounts, when allowed, shall be entered upon the tax duplicate so as to constitute a lien upon such lands from and after the date of entry, to be collected as other taxes and returned to the Municipality with the general fund upon collection. Such remedy shall be in addition to the penalty provided in Section 557.99.
