(A) Sidewalks in the Village of Weston which are not free of snow and ice of two inches or more within 24 hours after the abatement of any storm during which snow and ice may have so accumulated are a public nuisance.
(B) The Village Fiscal Officer shall annually publish and distribute notice of the provisions in division (A) to all households within the village before November 15 each year.
(C) The Village Administrator, or his or her designee, may cause any village sidewalks not in compliance with the above provisions to be cleared at village expense. The cost of such cleaning/clearing shall be $50 for regular frontage sidewalks and $75 for sidewalks adjacent to corner lots, and those appropriate amounts, plus an administrative fee of $5 for processing, mailing or serving the notice for payment, shall be billed to the property owner by regular mail each time the village clears any sidewalk. Upon failure to reimburse the village the billed amount within 30 days thereafter, the Fiscal Officer shall submit official certification to the Wood County Auditor that contains: the amount of charges/fees, a proper description of the premises, and a request that such amount be entered upon the tax duplicate so as to become a lien upon such lands from and after the date of the entry and to be collected as other taxes and returned to the village according to law.
(D) This section shall not be construed as repealing § 94.11 of the Ohio Basic Code, but is supplemental thereto, except that such section is amended as follows:
Delete the existing phrase “within a reasonable time, which will ordinarily not exceed 12 hours” in its entirety, and replace it with the phrase “within 24 hours.”
