w <br />TIME FRAME FOR DECISION MAKING <br />The Eugene Code, Section 6.519 requires a notice to be published <br />three times in a newspaper of general circulation in the city to <br />all owners and persons in charge of property regarding their duty <br />to keep their porperty free of obnoxious vegetation. The notice <br />must also reference the amount of the fee charged if the City <br />abates the nuisance(s). The publications must be between May 1 <br />and June 15th. Mowing season begins June 15th and the Eugene Code <br />requires abatement to begin 10 or more days after publication. <br />The Public Works Department publishes their last notice on or before <br />June 5th in order to begin abatement by June 15th. <br />If changes are to be made in the charges for weed mowing, a reso- <br />lution should be introduced to the City Council for approval of <br />those changes no later than the first two weeks in May. <br />-12- <br />
