[CC §18.010; Ord. No. 25, 10-7-1974]
Any act done or suffered to be permitted by any person upon
his property or any substance or thing kept or maintained, placed
or thrown on or upon any public or private place which is injurious
to the public health, and any pursuit following or act done by any
person to the injury or danger of the public is defined and declared
to be a "public nuisance".
[CC §18.030; Ord. No. 25, 10-7-1974]
Whenever any nuisance is reported to exist, the City Manager
may notify the person causing or maintaining the same, or the occupant
of the property on which the same shall exist, to forthwith remove
the same, and should said person fail to forthwith remove the same
within a reasonable time of said notice, then the City Manager may
cause the same to be promptly removed and abated and thereafter make
demand on the person responsible therefor for the expense incurred
in such removal, and should said person refuse to pay the amount of
expense so incurred and demanded, the expense for abating the same
may be assessed against the owner or occupant of the property, and
against the property on which said nuisance is committed, and a special
tax bill may be issued against said property for said expenses.
