Sec. A1-36. Notice of public nuisance.

(a) Whenever a public nuisance exists upon any property, a written notice of public nuisance will be provided to the record owner of the property and anyone known to the County to be in possession of the property. Notice will be provided by posting a notice on the property and by mail at the address shown on the latest assessment roll or at any other address of the owner known to the County official providing notice.

(b) The notice will state that, within 20 days of the date of the notice, the property owner or possessor may request a meeting with the County official designated in the notice to present evidence that the public nuisance does not exist. The meeting shall take place within 45 days from the date of the notice.

(c) At the meeting with the designated County official, the property owner or possessor may present evidence demonstrating why a public nuisance does not exist. After the meeting, the official will notify the property owner or possessor in writing of the official's determination regarding whether a public nuisance exists on the property.

(d) If a notice of public nuisance has been issued and either a meeting is not timely requested or the designated County official determines after considering the evidence presented at the meeting that a public nuisance exists, a hearing regarding abatement of the public nuisance may be scheduled before the Board of Supervisors.
