AGENDA TITLE: Public Hearing to Review Cost Report of Weed Abatement
MEETING DATE: June 19, 1996
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That following a public hearing regarding the matter, the City Council
adopt the attached resolution confirming the cost of weed abatement and
provide for collection through the San Joaquin County Auditor's office.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Several months ago, the City Council initiated weed abatement
proceedings on five parcels which contained tumbleweeds. The
property owners were notified according to the Government Code
and a public hearing was held on March 20, 1996 to hear any
objections to the removal of the weeds. No objections were received at that public hearing and the
Street Superintendent was ordered to abate the nuisance declared by Resolution 96-08. Shortly after
the public hearing on March 20, all but two of the parcels were cleared of tumbleweeds by the owners.
The other two parcels were cleared by the City.
The Government Code provides that the City Council shall set a public hearing to receive a report of the
cost of abatement in front of or on each separate parcel of land where the work was done by the City.
At the time fixed for receiving and considering the report, the legislative body shall also hear any
objections of the property owners liable to be assessed for the abatement.
It is recommended that, after the public hearing, the City Council adopt the attached resolution
confirming the cost of weed abatement and provide for collection through the San Joaquin County
Auditor's office if the assessment is not paid by the owner prior to the date it must be filed with the
County Auditor.
