(a) Should the nuisance referred to in this chapter not be abated within the time prescribed herein, the Village, acting through its authorized officers and agents, shall have the right to enter upon the premises and to abate the nuisance found thereon or to apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for an order to compel the owner to abate the nuisance in a satisfactory manner.
(b) In abating such nuisance the Village, acting through its officers and agents, may do whatever is necessary to complete the abatement of the same and should it be practicable to sell or salvage any material derived in the abatement proceedings, it may sell the same at private or public sale at the best price obtainable and shall keep an accurate account of the proceeds thereof. Such proceeds, if any, shall be deposited in the General Fund of the Village and any deficiency difference between the amount so received and the cost of abatement shall be levied as an assessment against the aforesaid property by Council certified to the County Auditor and collected as any other assessment by the Village. Should the proceeds of the sale of such salvaged material exceed the cost of such abatement, the surplus, if any, shall be paid to the record title owner of the premises from which such nuisance was abated when the proper claim therefor is established.
(c) The Village may abate the nuisance by force account or may contract for the same, according to law, provided such private contract does not entail any liability for the cost of such contract to the Village.
