(A) In the event that the violation is not abated as ordered and within the time specified, the city may abate the violation by any of the following means:
(1) By undertaking the abatement and assessing the costs therefore against the property; or
(2) By issuance of a civil citation charging the owner or responsible party with a municipal infraction.
(B) Abatement may include, but is not limited to, repair, removal, cleaning, extermination, cutting, mowing, grading, sewer repairs, draining, securing, barricading or fencing, demolition of dangerous or abandoned structures or portions thereof, and elimination of nuisances. Abatement costs may include the cost of removing or eliminating the violation; the cost of investigation, such as title searches, inspection and testing; the cost of notification; filing costs; and other related administrative costs. Inoperable or obsolete vehicles which have been impounded may be sold in accordance with state law. If an inoperable or obsolete vehicle is not sold or if the proceeds of the sale or redemption are not sufficient to pay the costs of abatement, storage and sale of the inoperable or obsolete vehicle, the cost or the balance of the cost may be assessed against the premises in the same manner as a property tax.
(C) Before the assessment of any charges for work done or caused to be done by the city, the owner of the property proposed to be assessed shall be provided notice and opportunity for hearing before the City Council. The notice shall set forth the amount proposed to be assessed, and include a statement of the time, place and date of hearing.
