If the provisions of §§ 92.37 and 92.38 are not complied with, the City Administrator or their designee, shall serve written notice upon the owner, lessee, or occupant or any person having the care or control of any such lot or land to comply with the provisions of this chapter. If the person upon whom the notice is served fails, neglects or refuses to cut and remove or cause to be cut and removed such weeds, grasses, or rank vegetation within seven days after receipt of such notice, or if no person can be found in the City who either is or claims to be the owner of such lot or land, or who either claims to represent such owner, the City Administrator or their designee shall cause such grass, weeds, or other rank vegetation to be cut and removed and the cost of inspection and such cutting and removal, plus other additional costs in connection therewith, may be assessed against each lot or parcel where the nuisance existed, pursuant to M.S. § 429.101, as it may be amended from time to time. The City Council may direct that the costs, charges, and fees be certified to the County Auditor for collection along with the current real estate taxes for the following year or in annual installments, not exceeding five years, as the council may determine in each case.
