(a) The Chief of Police, or his designee, upon finding that three or more nuisance activities declared in this Chapter have occurred within any twelve-month period, may cause a written notice and order to be served on the owner of the hotel or motel property declaring that such property is a public nuisance property.
(b) The notice and order shall set forth the name of the nuisances, the estimated costs to abate any future nuisance, and state that the hotel or motel property owner may avoid being charged the costs of abatement by taking steps to prevent any further nuisance activity as set forth in this section. The notice shall further state that if a fourth or subsequent nuisance activity as declared in this Chapter occurs within twelve (12) months of the dates of the first three activities, the City may abate the nuisances by responding to the activities using administrative and law enforcement actions and the costs of such abatement shall be assessed on the public nuisance property.
(c) Notice shall be served on the owner(s) that are listed on the records of the Lake County Auditor by delivering it personally to the owner or leaving it at the owner's usual place of hotel or motel business, or by posting it in a conspicuous place on the hotel or motel real estate involved, or by mailing it to the owner by regular and certified mail, or by publishing it once in a newspaper of general circulation within the City if it cannot be served in any of the other ways above mentioned.
