A. Notice; Required Information: Upon receipt of a report, the designated enforcement agent may begin formal proceedings. If formal proceedings are deemed appropriate, the proceedings shall begin by notifying the property owner or occupant, and the property manager, if known, that a nuisance activity exists. The notice shall contain the following information:
1. The street address or physical description sufficient to describe the property location.
2. A description of the events that have occurred, or are suspected to have occurred, on the property.
3. Educational material and referral information to assist in the abatement of the nuisance activity.
4. Notice that the property owner or occupant has fifteen (15) working days from the date of service or receipt of the notice, to respond to the city with a plan of action, approved by the enforcement agent, detailing a plan for which the nuisance activity shall be corrected.
5. Notice that the property owner or occupant shall have thirty (30) working days from the date the plan of action is agreed upon to carry out the plan of action, unless an extension is agreed to by the city, which extension shall not be unreasonably withheld.
B. Failure To Comply: If no plan of action is received from the property owner or occupant within fifteen (15) working days from the date of service or receipt of the notice; or, if the plan of action agreed upon between the property owner or occupant and the designated enforcement agent has not been completed within thirty (30) working days following the agreement and any applicable extensions, the enforcement agent shall have the rights specified in section 4-1-5 of this chapter.
C. Notice By Certified Mail: Unless otherwise specified, all notifications shall be made by certified mail, return receipt requested, at the last known address as listed on the tax rolls of the county, or for corporate entities, the registered agent as listed with the secretary of state.
D. Plan Not Admission: Statements made by the owner in providing a plan of action to abate the nuisance activities shall not constitute an admission that any nuisance activities have occurred or are occurring. This subsection does not require the exclusion of any other evidence which may otherwise be admissible or offered for any other purpose. (Ord. 207, 8-26-2015)
