It shall be the duty of the Town Council to determine whether any vacant lot, building or premises within the town is in violation of § 150.15, and whether the same constitutes a public nuisance, and if such determination is made, to cause a notice to be given to the owner, lessee or renter of said premises, by certified mail, return receipt requested, specifying what action must be taken to remove the violation and abate the nuisance, and specifying a reasonable time within which such nuisance shall be abated. In the event that the owner, lessee or renter of said premises fails to comply with the requirements of said notice within the time specified, the Town Council shall have the right to proceed with all necessary action to abate said nuisance, keeping accurate records of the actual cost thereof, and the town shall have a lien against said premises for the cost of such abatement. At any time within six months after the work of abatement is completed, the town shall have the right to proceed with the enforcement of said lien by an action brought in its own name in the county district court. The lien may be foreclosed in such proceeding, and the district court may enter judgment of foreclosure and sale and order execution thereon. All proceedings supplemental to judgment, including appeal, order of sale, period of redemption, sale and the issuance of deed, shall be conducted in accordance with the law relating to property sold upon foreclosure of real estate mortgages.
