Upon failure of any owner, occupant, or person having charge of the management of any lots and lands to comply with the notice required by Section 680.02 within the period of time stipulated, the City Manager shall cause such grass and weeds to be cut and destroyed by the direct employment of labor. Labor shall include removal of rocks, debris, garbage, wood or other materials which by their presence would damage or destroy mowing equipment or cause the cutting of weeds to be unachievable. Upon the performance of such labor, the City Manager shall invoice the person in charge of the lots and lands for the cost of cutting the grass and weeds, including the costs of service, any debris removal, and time of City staff, with costs adjusted to current wages. Should the person fail to remit payment within 15 days, the Finance Director shall make a return of such charges, in writing, to the Auditor of Fairfield County, which return shall be entered upon the tax duplicate of the County.
