Public Services is preparing to begin an additional weed
abatement program, above the two programs already budgeted.
It is requested that the Economic Development Agency fund the
payment to the weed contractor for abatement work performed,
which will be up to $50,000.
Weed Abatement is normally done in December and June of every
year. Many lots need abatement more frequently than every
six months, so Public Services has coordinated an additional
weed abatement cycle, to be done in October.
Property owners have been notified to clean their lots. The
city has contracted with a private contractor to perform
abatement on authorized parcels that have not been cleaned by
property owners. Invoices sent to property owners are based
on contractor rates authorized by the city (see attached rate
schedule). Work will be performed City-wide, and there are
approximately 4,000 vacant lots. However, an undetermined
portion of the total will be cleaned by property owners.

STAFF REPORT

SDecial Weed Abatement Proaraa
Traditionally, weed abatement activities, conducted by the Department of
Public Services, have occurred twice per year, in June and December of
any aiven year. The Mayor has requested that, in addition to the normal
weed abatement cycle and in conjunction with other City-sponsored
beautification, clean-up and blight abatemsnt programs, a special weed
abatement prolram be authorized to auament the above referenced programs
and to provide additional momentum for these programs, projects and
activities.
The scope of this prOlram encompasses approximately 4,000 parcels
throughout the City. Historical data indicate that of the property
owners notified, approximately twenty-five percent (25X), or 1,000
parcels will be cleaned by the City-retained contractor. The remainina
parcels (3,000) are normally cleaned by the property owner. The data
also indicate thet of the 1,000 parcels cleaned by the City contractor,
approximately thirty-five percent (35X), or three-hundred, fifty (350)
parcels, reimburse the City the contractor's fee, plus the City's
administrative fee. The remainina parcels are liened and approximately
seventy-eevan percent (77X) of these parcels pay the cost of the weed
abatement and administrative expenses the first time the lien is
included in the property owner's tax bill.
It is anticipated the Department will be repaid the cost of this special
weed abatement through the direct payment and lien processes.
Additionally, the Public Services and Development Departments have
alreed to share the $75.00 administrstive fee on a fifty-fifty basis.
Based upon the foreloina, staff recommends adoption of the form motion.
