STAFF REPORT
Council Meeting Date: July 16, 2007
TO: Mayor and Common Council
FROM: City Attorney's Office
DATE: July 3,2007
AGENDA: July 16,2007
The Legislative Review Committee requested that staff review the current weed
abatement procedures and discuss possible alternatives. As a result, Code Enforcement has
requested that the City Attorney's Office draft an ordinance that would allow them to record a
Notice of Weed Abatement Requirements on all vacant lots. This ordinance gives the Code
Enforcement Department the statutory authority to record such notices with the County Recorder.
By recording said notice, the requirements will be included with a title report and provide
potential buyers of vacant lots with the maintenance and abatement requirements.
On July 3, 2007 the Legislative Review Committee unanimously approved this item and
recommended that it be put on the July 16, 2007 agenda for first reading.
