The words "street superintendent" as used herein means any person whose duty it is to have the care or charge of the streets or the improvement thereof.

(Ord. 25 §7, 1931).

6.24.020 - Vegetation and other obstructions—When deemed nuisance.

All weeds, grasses or other obstructions upon the streets, sidewalks or private property within the city which may become a fire menace when dry or which are otherwise obnoxious or dangerous, or which may become obnoxious or dangerous as a fire hazard may be deemed a nuisance by the city council of the city.

(Ord. 25 §1, 1931).

6.24.030 - Declaration of nuisance by council.

When the said weeds, grasses or other obstructions become a fire hazard, or become otherwise obnoxious or dangerous and injure the welfare, health, safety or property of others, the said obstructions or weeds and grasses so existing may by resolution of the city council of the city declare the same a public nuisance.

(Ord. 25 §2, 1931).

6.24.040 - Notice of proposed abatement—Hearing.

After the passage of the resolution the street superintendent shall post a notice to the property owner and upon the said property, at not more than one hundred feet apart, said notice to be posted at least ten days prior to the hearing upon the abatement of the nuisance so declared. The notice shall contain a brief statement of the proposed abatement and shall refer to the resolution passed by the city council. The

notice shall contain a clause setting a time at which the property owner may appear before the city council and protest the abatement.

(Ord. 25 §3, 1931).

6.24.050 - Abatement by property owner—Decision of council.

At the time set for the hearing as provided in Section 6.24.040 of this chapter the property owner may appear and show cause, if any, why the work should not be done, or may at that time or anytime before work has been commenced by the city, do the work himself and at his own expense. Upon the hearing as provided herein the matter shall be conclusive and final and the city shall have thereby acquired jurisdiction over the work.

(Ord. 25 §4, 1931).

6.24.060 - Abatement by city.

Upon the hearing it shall be determined whether or not the work shall be done by the city. In the event that the work is ordered done, the city council shall order the street superintendent to have the work done and the nuisance abated at once. And upon the order to do the work the street superintendent or his agents shall be and are hereby specially authorized to enter upon the private property for the purpose of cleaning same from the declared nuisance.

(Ord. 25 §5, 1931).

6.24.070 - Abatement costs and enforcement costs.

When the work is completed and confirmed by the city council of the city, and after being thus completed and confirmed, the costs of the work shall be a lien upon the property where the work was done, and the assessment against the property shall be delivered over to the assessor and the tax collector of the city, whereupon it shall be the duty of said officer to add the amount to the next regular bill for taxes levied against the property. And in the event that the assessment is made by the county assessor then the amount shall be added by him to the assessment and shall likewise be added to the next bill for taxes against the property. Said assessment or tax shall be subject to the same penalties and shall be collected the same and in the same manner as the other municipal taxes collected within the city. It is also provided that the costs of printing and other expenses incurred in the enforcement of this chapter shall be included in the lien against the property so assessed.

(Ord. 25 §5, 1931).
