(a) After a determination has been made as set forth in Section 557.02 that a nuisance exists or that the public health is endangered, then the County Health Commissioner or the City Manager or his nominee/ designee shall cause written notice to be served upon the owner of such lots or lands that such nuisance or endangering of the public health must be abated by cutting or destroying such weeds or grass as set forth in Section 557.01 within seven days from the date of the notice required herein. If the owners or other such persons are nonresidents or other persons whose address is known, notice shall be sent to such address; however, if the address of such owners, or other persons whether residents or nonresidents is unknown, then it shall be sufficient to publish such notice once in a newspaper of general circulation, which published notice shall be deemed to be effective for the then-existing violation of Section 557.01 any and all further violations of Section 557.01 for the then-existing balance of the calendar year, and no additional published notice(s) shall be required for future violations by such owner (for which notice is initially published in accordance with this Section 557.03) for any and all violations of Section 557.01 for the balance of the then-existing calendar year.
(b) In addition to the notice(s) outlined in Section 557.03(a), above, the City Manager or his nominee/designee may also cause a notice to be provided to an owner of such lots or lands that such nuisance or endangering of the public health must be abated by cutting or destroying such weeds or grass as set forth in Section 557.01 within seven days from the date of the notice required in Section 557.03(a) by posting a notice of violation in a conspicuous location on or about the lots or lands notifying the Owner of the violation(s) of Chapter 557.
