(A) Determination of cost. In the absence of a voluntary agreement for a flat fee of $500 per structure removed, the City Council, after analysis of the cost of work performed pursuant to § 91.30 of this chapter, the actual cost has been estimated and predetermined at not less than $500 and is hereby established as a minimum charge for removal of a dilapidated housing structure. Upon the failure to pay the actual removal cost in excess of $500, a lien shall be set against the subject property, as provided in § 91.32 of this chapter. If the minimum actual cost is less than $500, the $500 administrative charge shall be the lienable claim.
(B) Statement to property owner. The City Council hereby directs the City Clerk to forward a statement and demand payment of the actual cost, but not less than $500, by certified mail, with return receipt requested, to the record owner of the property at the address shown by the current tax rolls in the office of the Hughes County Treasurer.
