CITY OF SAN BERN,QoINO - REQUEST FcQ COUNCIL ACTION
o
STAFF REPORT
In an ongoing attempt to improve the appearance of the City,
the attached ordinance is proposed to make those responsible for
the placement of signs on vacant or abandoned property bear some
of the responsibility for maintaining the appearance of such
properties. By requiring such signs to carry the telephone
number and address of the parties responsible for those signs and
then allowing removal where a violation exists upon 72 hour
telephone notice of such violation, it is anticipated that this
ordinance will provide another effective enforcement tool in
encouraging all those responsible for run down or weed infested
properties to take care of their property.
