M E M O R A N D U M TO: Terry Grondona FROM: James W. Spickerm DATE: August 16, 1989 (7 RE: Vegetation Nuisance Abatement There are two matters I want to mention since this is our first time through on the weed abatement assessment process. First, as near as I can tell, the document entitled : VEGETATION MANAGEMENT DEVELOPED PROPERTY BILLING INVOICE NO. 89 -62 and indicating a billing date of July 14, 1989 here served as the notice required by Section 6.100(1). Section 6.100(1) provides as follows: "The finance officer, by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, shall forward to a person responsible a notice stating: (a) The total cost of abatement including the administrative overhead. (b) That the cost as indicated will be assessed to and become a lien against the property unless paid within ten (10) days from the date of the notice. (c) That if the person responsible objects to the cost of the abatement as indicated, he may file a written notice of objection with the finance officer not more than ten (10) days from the date of the notice. To avoid any possible challenge to the procedure in the future, I would suggest that the requirements of that section pertaining to the contents of the notice be strictly followed. The notice should specifically state that the "cost as indicated will be assessed to and become a lien against the property unless paid within ten (10) days of the notice." Furthermore, subsection (c) should be specifically addressed by more closely incorporating the language of that section. It should indicate that the written notice of objection be filed with the finance officer not more than ten (10) days from the date of the notice. The second issue, of course, is that of establishing a "reasonable charge for administrative overhead" in these situations." Perhaps
