Your property has been included in the program due to the potential for fire hazards to exist upon it during the drier months of the fire season. As owner, the condition of the property is your responsibility. If you no longer own the property, please notify this office immediately. In conformity with the provisions of Sections 39560, et. seq., of the California Government Code, you are hereby notified that hazardous vegetation and rubbish must be removed from the above-mentioned property by May 15,2002. Poster notices will not be placed on the property. PLEASE REFER TO THE NOTICE ON THE REVERSE SIDE OF THIS LETTER. Property cleared and maintained free of combustible vegetation and rubbish, and in compliance with the requirements listed on the enclosed Fire Department Information Sheet, is not subject to further action by this department. After May 15,2002, property that is not cleared of hazard andor maintained in a safe condition, is subject to abatement by City contracted crews. THE COST FOR ABATEMENT BY THE CITY, PLUS AN ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE (NOT TO EXCEED $125.00) WILL BE ADDED TO THE OWNER'S TAX STATEMENT. The condition of property remains the responsibility of the owner and legal action may be initiated to enforce applicable regulations. - THE CITY URGES PROPERTY OWNERS TO MAKE PRIVATE ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE CLEARING OF HAZARDS FROM THEIR PROPERTIES, IN ORDER TO AVOID ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGES.
