All contrary provisions in this chapter notwithstanding, whenever the building inspector or in his or her absence, the city manager, determines a public nuisance exists and the public health, safety or welfare may be in immediate danger, then he shall notify the mayor and/or a majority of the city council who may call an emergency council meeting, in accordance with the open meeting law and section 2.060 of the city charter, to seek an abatement order from the city council. When emergency abatement is authorized, notice to the owner is not required prior to abatement; however, the provisions regarding notice of the statement of costs shall apply. (Ord. 589, 10-3-2002)
