(a) Upon information that high weeds and grasses are growing on lands in the Village, the Village Council’s designated agent shall cause written notice to be served on the owner or person having charge of such lands, which notice shall advise that such grasses and/or weeds must be cut within five days after service of such notice. If the owner or person having charge of the land is a resident, the notice may be served by any person authorized by the Village Council’s designated agent by personally serving such owner or person having charge of the lands, or by leaving a copy with a responsible person at the residence, or by posting a copy in a conspicuous place at the residence. If the owner or person having charge of such land is a nonresident of the Village, and his address is known, such notice may be served in the same manner as a resident or may be served by certified, regular mail or email. If such person’s address is unknown, it shall be sufficient to publish such notice once in a newspaper of general circulation in the County or post such notice in a conspicuous place on the land. The Village Council’s designated agent shall determine the particular type of service to be used.
(b) The Village Council’s designated agent is only required to serve one notice per calendar year under Section 557.02(a). If after a notice has been served in accordance with Section 557.02(a), the Village Council’s designated agent determines that a subsequent violation has occurred within the same calendar year, the Village may proceed with the remedies under Section 557.99 without further notice.
