(A) The Mayor or his or her designee shall certify the order and performance of the work together with the total cost to the City Secretary, who shall issue either a personal notice or a notice to be published in a newspaper of general circulation within the city, notifying the owner of the premises to appear before the City Council for a hearing on a date to be fixed by the City Council, such date being at least ten days after the notice, and to show cause why the said charge or cost shall not be imposed against said owner and his or her premises as a special assessment.
(B) If it appears to the Council upon the hearing that the said charge is reasonable and covers only the cost and expense required to abate the nuisance, the City Council shall levy a special assessment against the lot, tract or parcel of land upon which the nuisance existed and was abated, and the special assessment shall constitute a lien against the premises and a personal charge against the owner.
