(A) If the nuisance has not been abated by the person responsible within the time allowed, the City Manager may order the nuisance to be abated and take any actions reasonably necessary to abate, including seizure and disposal of personal property.
(B) The Enforcing Officer charged with abatement of the nuisance or contractors acting under the direction of the Officer, shall have the right to enter into or upon property at reasonable times to investigate or abate a nuisance. In the event that abatement requires access to a home or other area which may create a reasonable expectation of privacy, the Enforcing Officer shall obtain a warrant allowing entry and abatement.
(C) Prior to removing and disposing of items creating the nuisance, the Enforcing Officer shall post a notice at the site of the nuisance and personally serve the responsible party or send the person responsible for the nuisance a certified letter, identifying the pending abatement by the city and the time frame thereof.
(D) The City Manager shall keep an accurate record of the expense incurred by the city in physically abating the nuisance and shall include an additional charge equal to 10% of those expenses for administrative costs.
