(a) In the event that any person owning, leasing or renting such lot, land or property within the town shall fail to perform such duty to cut and remove such deleterious material or salvaged material therefrom or upon the order of Council or Mayor, then in either of such events the Mayor shall give or cause to be given in writing to the person owning, leasing or renting such lot, land or property notice to remove such dirt, rubbish, debris, weeds, brush, poison ivy, trees, plant growth, filth or any other deleterious material from such lot or parcel of land.
(b) Such notice shall be addressed to the owner and lessee or tenant of the lot, land or property, shall describe by lot and block number or otherwise the location of such lot, land or property, shall describe briefly the dirt, rubbish, debris, weeds, brush, poison ivy, trees, plant growth, filth or any other deleterious material to be cut and removed therefrom, shall fix a time within which such cutting, or razing, and removal shall be accomplished, shall bear a date thereon, and shall be signed either by the Mayor, or other authorized agent of the town. Any such notice shall be given or served upon any such offending person in the following manner: by any of the methods prescribed for service of process issued by the Clerk of the Circuit Court of the state, or by posting a copy of such notice in a conspicuous place on the lot, land or property upon which such deleterious or salvaged material is found, or by publication of such notice once a week for two successive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation within the town or by mailing a copy of such noticed addressed to such person at his or her last known address. Any of the above methods of service of such notice shall be deemed sufficient notice to the person of the contents thereof. No error in the name of the property owner, the description of the property or in the materials designated to be cut and removed shall affect the validity of any such notice; provided that, from the description of such lot, land or property the identity thereof may be established with reasonable certainty.
