When such weeds or grasses are growing on land within the City, the Director of Service or City Manager may cause certificate of mail notice to be served on the owner, lessee, agent, tenant or other person having charge of such land at his last known address notifying him that such weeds or other growth must be cut or destroyed within five days after receipt of such notice. In the event that the certified mail notice is returned undelivered, then notice may be given by publication once in a newspaper of general circulation or posted on the subject property. In the instance of unoccupied property or vacant land the city, in lieu of a mailed notice, may post the property by affixing a notice to the building or in the instance of vacant land a notice may be affixed to a stake, tree or fence. This notice shall contain the date of posting and the location of the property. Such weeds or other growth must be cut or destroyed within five days after receipt of such notice. In the event that the certificate of mail notice is returned undelivered, then notice may be given by publication once in a newspaper of general circulation or posted on the subject property.
