8.28.080   Removal of nuisance by city—Lien.
   In those cases where the owner, lessee, occupant, or person having charge or control of any occupied or unoccupied lot or tract of land, is a non-resident of the city or cannot be determined, and compliance in its entirety with the provisions set forth in the notice to abate or commence abatement has not occurred within ten days, the City Manager may cause such nuisance to be abated. In any event, should it appear to be a matter of public necessity for health and safety reasons, the City Manager may give notice that the nuisance be abated immediately, in which event, should there be no compliance, and the City Manager is authorized to cause such nuisance to be removed immediately. The actual cost of the abatement, plus any other penalties or costs allowed by law in connection therewith, under any of the circumstances herein set out, shall be billed to the owner of record, who shall have fifteen days to submit payment in full. Failure to remit payment shall cause a lien to be placed upon the property from which such nuisance was abated. The lien shall be foreclosed in the manner provided by law. (Ord. 510, 2013)
