The weed abatement program, conducted annually by the Fire Department, was begun

Clean Premises" signs.

of the attached list of land parcels, abatement actions have been taken.

listed land parcels.
City Code Section 8.32.050 provides that when the owner fails to take action it shall
be the duty of the Fire Chief to cause the removal of such materials that create the
fire hazard. Charges shall consists of cost plus 25% and shall be entered upon the
real property tax assessment rolls and become a lien against the property.

General Fund is requested to perform the necessary work. These appropriations should
