If the person notified to abate a nuisance neglects or fails to abate as ordered, the City may perform the required action to abate, keeping an accurate account of the costs incurred in the abatement of the nuisance. The itemized account of the costs shall be filed with the Finance Director or his designee who may pay any outside expenses on behalf of the City. The salvage value, if any, of any item or items constituting a nuisance which is so abated by the City, shall be retained by the City to be applied against costs. In the event the salvage proceeds exceed the costs, any such excess shall be paid to the former owner of the property, upon proof of such ownership. If ownership is not proved within sixty (60) days of the disposal of the property, then the excess portion of the payment shall be applied to the City's General Fund. In addition, the City, by order of the City Administrator, may suspend or revoke any and all permits affecting the applicable property issued or granted by the City or City staff, and/or the City may seek a court order finding a Municipal or criminal violation and ordering abatement.
