(a) Whenever the City Manager or his designee shall find it necessary to order the trimming, preservation or removal of any trees, plants or shrubbery which are in an unsafe condition or by reason of their location or nature are injurious to the public health or safety or are infected with any disease or insect which cannot otherwise be controlled, he shall serve a written order to correct the conditions upon the owner, occupant or other person responsible for their existence.
(b) Such order shall set forth a time limit for compliance dependent upon the hazard and danger created by the condition. In cases of extreme danger to persons or property, the City Manager or his designee shall have the authority to require immediate compliance upon service of the order.
