(a) Should the nuisance referred to in Section 561.03 not be abated within the time stated in the notice given pursuant to such section, the Service Director or his authorized representative shall have the right to enter upon the premises and to abate such nuisance. In abating any nuisance the Service Director may take such action as is necessary to complete the abatement of the same, and should it be practicable to sell or salvage any material resulting from such abatement, he may cause such to be sold at public or private sale at the best price obtainable. Such proceeds shall be deposited in the General Fund and any difference in the amount so received and the cost of the abatement shall be reported to Council, which shall levy an assessment against the premises upon which such nuisance was abated and cause such assessment to be certified and collected as other assessments by the City.
(b) Should the proceeds of the sale of any material salvaged in the course of such abatement exceed the cost thereof, the amount of such excess shall be paid to the owner or owners of the premises upon filing of a claim thereof and proof of title and right to such surplus.
(c) The Service Director may utilize any labor or equipment of the City in making such abatement or may contract for the abatement thereof if such contract may be let without any expense whatever to the City; and/or may publicize for and let bids for such contract.
