(A) The court may authorize the city to physically secure the property against all access, use or occupancy in the event that the person in charge fails to do so within the time specified by the court. In the event that the city is authorized to secure the property, all costs reasonably incurred by the city to physically secure the property shall be paid to the city by the person in charge and may be included in the city’s money judgment. As used in this section, COSTS means those costs actually incurred by city for physically securing the property, as well as tenant relocation costs pursuant to this section.
(B) The city department(s) physically securing the property shall prepare a statement of costs and the city shall thereafter submit that statement to the court for its review. If no objection to the statement is made within the period prescribed by Oregon Rule of Civil Procedure 68, the statement of costs shall be included in the city’s money judgment.
(C) Judgments imposed by this chapter shall bear interest at the rate of 9% per year from the date the judgment is entered.
(D) Any person who is assessed the costs of physically securing the property by the court shall be personally liable for the payment thereof to the city.
(E) The person in charge shall pay reasonable relocation costs of a tenant as defined by O.R.S. 90.100(31) if, without actual notice, the tenant moved into the property after either:
(1) A person in charge received a notice from the City Administrator’s determination that the property may be nuisance property; or
(2) A person in charge received notice of an action brought to close a chronic nuisance property.
