(A) The City Recorder shall forward to the owner and the person responsible, by registered or certified mail, a notice stating:
(1) The total cost of abatement, including administrative costs;
(2) The costs as indicated will be assessed to and become a lien against the property unless paid within 30 days from the date of the notice; and
(3) If the owner or the person responsible objects to the cost of the abatement as indicated, a notice of objection may be filed with the City Recorder no more than ten days from the date of the notice.
(B) No sooner than 30 days after the date of the notice, the Council, in the regular course of business, shall hear and make a decision on the objections of the costs assessed.
(C) (1) If the costs of the abatement are not paid within 30 days from the date of the notice, an assessment of the costs, as stated or as decided by the Council, shall be made by resolution and shall be entered in the docket of city liens.
(2) When the entry is made, it shall constitute a lien on the property from which the nuisance was removed or abated.
(D) The lien shall bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum. The interest shall accrue from the date of entry of the lien in the lien docket.
(E) An error in the name of the owner or person responsible or a failure to receive the notice of the proposed assessment will not void the assessment, and it shall remain a valid lien against the property.
