<br />CORRESPONDENCE:
<br />WEED ABATEMENT
<br />Councilman Gonzales read his memorandum dated August 19, 1975, regarding the weed abatement program, and suggested
<br />that Staff be directed to provide special notice, in addition to other required notifications, to property owners
<br />stating in part that the lot is scheduled to be weed abated ten days after the notice, and charges will be sub-
<br />stantially increased from previous years for any or all of the following reasons: large accumulations of burnable
<br />materials requiring hand labor to remove; accumulations of rubble or other materials prohibiting machine work and
<br />requiring hand labor for removal prior to machine work. Further, final charges will be assessed on the work needed
<br />10 days from the notice, and any work done by the property owner or their agents to eliminate or reduce the nature
<br />of the situation will save work by City crews and charges against the property.
<br />Councilman Gonzales stated this may eliminate some of the problems that occurred with the weed abatement program
<br />this year, for future programs.
<br />Councilwoman Spragins said she felt this was a good idea, and that something definitely should be done to eliminate
<br />future problems.
<br />City Attorney suggested that before the Council makes a decision on the procedure suggested by Councilman Gonzales,
<br />he would like to study this matter further to insure that this method will not be pre-empted by State law. Mr.
<br />Hutton said he will report back to the Council at the next regular meeting on this matter.
<br />All Council members agreed with the suggestion of the City Attorney.
