Latest version.
  • If, not later than the thirtieth day after the date of the abatement of the weeds, the property owner files a written request for a hearing with the code enforcement director, the code enforcement director shall forward the request and all documents related to the matter to the city manager, who shall conduct an administrative hearing on the abatement of dangerous weeds under section 8-10 and/or the assessment of the administrative charges under section 8-9. The administrative hearing shall be conducted not later than the twentieth day after the date the request for a hearing is filed. The property owner may testify or present any witnesses or written information relating to the city's abatement of the weeds. Within ten (10) working days of the date of the hearing, the city manager shall provide written notice of his decision concerning the appeal. The city manager may, after hearing, waive the assessment of charges in the event the city manager determines that the requirements for abatement of dangerous weeds provided in section 8-11 were not met and may uphold, alter or waive the assessment of administrative charges upon a finding of good cause for so doing. The decision of the city manager is final.
