If the provisions of Section 8.16.130 are not complied with, the city manager or his or her authorized representative, shall notify the owner, lessee or occupant, or person having charge or control of any occupied or unoccupied lot or tract of land, of the non-compliance with the provisions of this chapter by the issuance of a ten-day written warning. In the event such owner, lessee or occupant, or any person having charge or control of such lot or tract of land, cannot be determined or the owner shall be a nonresident of the city, such notice may be served by posting a copy of the written notice upon the premises, with a copy mailed by certified letter to the last known address of the owner. A citation may be issued for violations remaining after the expiration of the warning of the period. In the event that weeds or grass exceed fifteen (15) inches in height, a citation of the violation may be immediately issued. The same owner, lessee or occupant, or any person having charge or control of a lot or tract of land that repeats the same violation may be immediately issued a citation for the non-compliance with the provisions of this chapter.
