A. 
If a nuisance is not completely abated by the owner in the time and manner set forth in any final order of abatement, the nuisance shall be abated by city forces or by private contractors retained by the city for this purpose. Subject to applicable state and/or federal law, entry upon the property to which the order of abatement relates is expressly authorized for such purposes.
B. 
No person shall obstruct, impede or interfere with any officer, employee, contractor or authorized representative of the city whenever such person is engaged in the abatement work authorized or directed pursuant to this chapter, or is performing any necessary act preliminary to or incidental to such work.
(Ord. 03-1 § 2)
A. 
In any administrative proceeding to abate a nuisance, the hearing officer shall be authorized to impose upon the property owner the cost incurred by the city in abating the nuisance, including any incidental expenses. The term incidental expenses shall include, but not be limited to, personnel costs, both direct and indirect, attorneys' fees, costs incurred in documenting the nuisance, the actual expenses and costs of the city in inspecting property and work, in preparation of notices, specifications and contracts and in reinspecting property, the costs of printing and mailing the notices required hereunder, and any administrative or recording costs charged by the Yolo County Recorder.
B. 
Pursuant to Government Code Section 38773.5, payment of the city's costs and expenses imposed by the hearing officer may be secured by placing a special assessment against the property. The city manager is authorized to impose special assessments for amounts under ten thousand dollars. Special assessments for amounts of ten thousand dollars or more may be imposed by resolution of the city council. If the city manager or city council elects to secure payment of the city's costs to abate the nuisance upon the owner by placing an assessment against the property, notice of the assessment shall be provided to the property owner by certified mail pursuant to Government Code Section 38773.5. The notice shall specify that the property may be sold after three years by the tax collector for unpaid delinquent assessments. Assessments imposed pursuant to this section may be collected at the same time and in the same manner as ordinary municipal taxes are collected and shall be subject to the same penalties and the same procedure and sale in case of delinquency as provided for ordinary municipal taxes. All laws applicable to the levy, collection and enforcement of municipal taxes shall be applicable to the special assessment.
