§ 8.28.100. ABATEMENT COSTS; CONFIRMATION; COLLECTION.

(A) At the time fixed for receiving and confirming the report of the Director of Public Works, the Town Council shall hear the same, together with any objection which may be raised by any property owner liable to be assessed for the work of abating the nuisance or removal of the obstruction, and the Town Council shall thereupon make the modification in the report as they may deem necessary, after which, by resolution, the report shall be confirmed.

(B) The amounts of the cost for abating the nuisance or removal of the obstruction from any property mentioned in the report shall constitute a special assessment against the parcel of land, and after thus made and confirmed, shall constitute a lien on the property for the amount of the assessment. After confirmation of the report, a copy thereof shall be turned over to the Assessor and the Tax Collector, whereupon it shall be the duty of the officers to add the amounts of the assessment to the next regular bill for taxes levied against the lot or parcel for municipal purposes, and the lien shall be collected in the same manner as other general municipal taxes. The amount of costs for removal hereinabove mentioned shall be and constitute the personal obligation of the owner of the property, and the Town Council may enforce the obligation by suit at law.
