MEMORANDUM
TO: Director of Utilities & Maintenance
FROM: Sanitation Services Supervisor
SUBJECT: 1981 Weed Abatement Program
81-084
On May 2, 1981 I mailed a total of 381 information letters to property owners
regarding this year's Weed Abatement Program. The letter defined the program in
detail. A returnable card was included to authorize the City to abate and bill the
owner for the cost of abatement, plus the $12.00 administrative fe~. A contractors
list was included to allow the property owner to contact a contractor and make
arrangements to abate the property.
On June 2, 1981 the City Council adopted Resolution No. 6548 declaring weeds and
rubbish in the City a nuisance. On June 4, 1981 a final notice was sent to the
property owners who had not abated their property prior to the declaration of the
nuisance. On June 16, 1981 the City Council held a Public Hearing to hear objec-
tions from the property owners regarding the program. At the conclusion of the
Public Hearing, Council adopted Resolution No. 6584 and directed you to abate the
nuisances. On June 18, 1981 I instructed private contractors to abate the
nuisances as declared.
A sunmary of this year's program is as follows:

reimbursement to the City. $747.50 reflects the unpaid balance of property owners'
request to City to abate, which includes 11 parcels for non-payment.
