(a) In the event the owner, lessee, agent, tenant or other such person having charge or care of any land, parcel or lot within the village does not comply with the order to cut or destroy the weeds, grass or undesirable vegetation or trim the trees or shrubs within the time limit specified in § 665.05 after a proper notice to abate the violation has been issued by the Village Mayor/Administrator, the Mayor/Village Administrator shall cause such undesirable vegetation to be cut and destroyed or trees or shrubs to be trimmed, and may employ the necessary labor and equipment to perform such task, together with any cleanup work required, within appropriations previously made by Council. This remedy is in addition to the penalty provided in § 665.99. The village shall not be responsible for damage done to the premises under the authorization provided in herein unless said damage is done negligently, recklessly or intentionally.
(b) If the owner, lessee, agent, tenant or other such person having charge of such lots or land fails or refuses to cut or destroy the weeds, grass or undesirable vegetation or trim the trees or shrubs and it becomes necessary for the village to abate the violation more than one time during any calendar year, the Mayor/Village Administrator may charge an additional administrative fee at the time of notification for the second violation. The Mayor/Village Administrator may abate subsequent violations without the necessity of further notice.
