The Commission shall have the power to determine the necessity of any local or public improvement and to determine by resolution if all or part of its expense shall be defrayed by special assessment upon any property especially benefited. All special assessments levied shall be based upon or in proportion to the benefits derived or to be derived. The Commission shall establish by resolution the estimated cost of the improvement, what proportion of the cost shall be paid by special assessment, what part, if any, shall be a general obligation of the City, the number of installments in which assessments may be paid, and the districts or land upon which special assessments shall be levied.
The Commission shall prescribe by ordinance the complete special assessment procedure concerning the initiation of projects, plans and specifications, estimates of costs, notice of hearings, making and confirming assessment rolls in advance of staring the improvements, the correction of errors in assessment rolls, the collection of special assessments, and any other matters concerning the making of improvements by special assessment.
When any lot, building or structure within the City becomes, in the opinion of the Commission, a public hazard or nuisance which is dangerous to the health or safety of the City's visitors or inhabitants, the Commission may, after investigation, give notice to the owner of the land upon which such hazard or nuisance exist, or the owner of the building or structure itself. The notice shall specify the nature of the hazard or nuisance, which may result from the accumulation of refuse or debris, the uncontrolled growth of weeds, age or dilapidation, or any other condition or occurrence. The notice shall further require the owner to alter, repair, tear down or remove the hazard or nuisance promptly, within a reasonable time to be specified by the Commission. If the owner has not complied with the requirements of the notice within the specified time, or if the owner of the land or building or structure is not known or cannot be found, the Commission may order the hazard or nuisance abated by the proper department or agency of the City which is qualified to do the required work. The Commission may further order the cost of the abatement to be assessed against the real property upon which the hazard or nuisance was located.
