Sacramento Municipal Code Art. VIII Performance of Work of Repair, Demolition or Securement

A. Procedure. When any work of repair, demolition or securement is to be done pursuant to Section 8.96.270(D) of this chapter, the building official shall accomplish the work using city personnel or by private contract under the direction of the building official. Plans and specifications therefor may be prepared by such building official, or he or she may employ such architectural and engineering assistance on a contract basis as he or she may deem reasonably necessary. If any part of the work is to be accomplished by private contract and the value of such work exceeds five thousand dollars ($5,000.00), standard public works contractual procedures shall be followed. If the value of such work is less than five thousand dollars ($5,000.00), the procedures to be followed shall be specified by resolution of the council establishing general standards for the solicitation and award of contracts of this category.

B. Costs. The cost of such repair, demolition or securement work shall be paid from the repair and demolition fund, and may be made a special assessment against the property involved and may be made a personal obligation of the property owner, as the housing board shall determine is appropriate. (Ord. 2009-014 § 1; prior code § 50.08.801)

A. General. The city council shall establish a special revolving fund to be designated as the repair and demolition fund. Payments shall be made out of the fund upon the demand of the building official to defray the costs and expenses which may be incurred by the city in doing or causing to be done the necessary work of repair, demolition or securement of dangerous buildings.

B. Maintenance of Fund. The council may at any time transfer to the repair and demolition fund, out of any money in the general fund of the city, such sums as it may deem necessary in order to expedite the performance of the work of repair, demolition or securement, and any sum so transferred shall be deemed a loan to the repair and demolition fund and shall be repaid out of the proceeds of the collections hereinafter provided for. All funds collected under the proceedings hereinafter provided for, shall be paid to the city controller who shall credit the same to the repair and demolition fund.
