Subd. 3 Reoccurring Nuisance. If the nuisance reoccurs within two years of the Council's Order to Abate, the officer charged with enforcement shall send a notice requiring compliance within seven (7) working days. If the owner or occupant fails to comply with the notice, the City shall provide for the abatement of the nuisance. An additional public hearing shall not be required within two years of the Council's original Order to Abate. The officer charged with enforcement shall keep records of the cost of the abatement including administrative costs and shall provide this information to the City Administrative for billing and assessment against the property pursuant to section 602.08. 602.08 Recovery of Cost. Subd. 1 Personal Liability. The owner of premises on which a nuisance has been abated by the city shall be personally liable for the cost to the city of the abatement, including administrative costs. As soon as the work has been completed and the cost determined, the city administrator or other official designated by the council shall prepare a bill for the cost and mail it to the owner. Thereupon the amount shall be immediately due and payable at the office of the city clerk. Subd. 2 Assessment. If the nuisance is a public health or safety hazard on private property, the accumulation of snow, ice, or rubbish on public sidewalks; removal or elimination of public health or safety hazard (excluding structures under MN Statute 463.15 and 463.26); the growth of weeds on private property or outside the traveled portion of streets, or unsound or insect-infected trees, the city administrator shall, on or before September 1 next following abatement of the nuisance, list the total unpaid charges along with all other such charges as well as other charges for current services to be assessed under Minn. Stat. 429.101 against each separate lot or parcel to which the charges are attributable. The council may then spread the charges against such property under that statute and other pertinent statutes for certification to the county auditor and collection along with current taxes the following year or in annual installments, not exceeding 10, as the council may determine in each case.
