A copy of said report and notice shall be served upon the owners of said property in accordance with the provisions of Section 4-17-215 at least 10 calendar days prior to submitting the same to the City Council. Proof of said posting and service shall be made by affidavit filed with the City Clerk. The term "incidental expenses" shall include, but not be limited to, the actual expenses and costs of the City in the preparation of notices, specifications and contracts, and in inspecting the work, and the costs of printing and mailing required hereunder.
§ 4-17-305. ASSESSMENT LIEN.¶
The total cost for abating such nuisance, as so confirmed by the City Council, shall constitute a special assessment against the respective lot or parcel of land to which it relates, and upon recordation in the office of the County Recorder of a Notice of Lien, as so made and confirmed, shall constitute a lien on said property for the amount of such assessment.
After such confirmation and recordation, a certified copy of the Council's decision shall be filed with the Alameda County Auditor-Controller on or before August 1 of each year, whereupon it shall be the duty of said Auditor-Controller to add the amounts of the respective assessments to the next regular tax bills levied against said respective lots and parcels of land for municipal purposes and thereafter said amounts, together with interest on said amounts at ten per cent (10%) per annum from the date of recordation, shall be collected at the same time and in the same manner as ordinary municipal taxes are collected, and shall be subject to the same penalties and the same procedure and sale in case of delinquency as provided for ordinary municipal taxes. All laws applicable to the levy, collection and enforcement of municipal taxes shall be applicable to such special assessment.
In the alternative, after such recordation, such lien may be foreclosed by judicial or other sale in the manner and means provided by law.
