7.20.080 ABATEMENT.

The Council may direct the City Manager to abate the nuisances as determined above. Before the Manager does so, the property owner may cause the removal of the nuisance. However, if the nuisance is abated by the property owner after passage of the resolution of abatement, the Manager will report the abatement to the Council and request affirmation and assessments of costs incurred by the City and any other public agencies in enforcing abatement upon the property, including investigation, boundary determination, measurement, clerical' and other related costs.

The City Manager, or the Manager's designated representative, will keep an account of the cost of each abatement and will submit it to the Council for affirmation and assessment upon completion of the abatement or from time to time as the Director may deem appropriate.
