Whenever the city manager learns of a condition in a sidewalk requiring repairs, the city manager may issue a notice. The notice shall describe the needed repairs, and shall require the persons described in this section to commence proper construction, and repair of the sidewalk within thirty (30) days after the service of such notice, and to diligently prosecute such work. A true copy of the notice shall be served by first class mail upon the owner and occupant addressed to the last known address of each. If any such person entitled to receive notice resides within the city, service may also be accomplished by personal service. In the event that mailed notices are returned as not deliverable to the addressee for any reason, then service of notice may be accomplished by posting the notice in a conspicuous place on the premises, and such posting shall have the same effect as mail or personal service. The city manager shall, immediately upon making service, or of posting the notice, as hereinbefore described, make a written return or certificate of service of the time, place, and manner of service and a sample of the original notice. This record shall constitute an official record of the city, and shall be kept on file with other city records in the place so designated by the city manager. (Ord. 944, 6-25-2007)
