ORDINANCE NO. 90-03
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 8, CHAPTER 3, OF PRIOR LAKE CITY COD~.
The Council of the City of Prior Lake does hereby ordain:
Sections 8-3-3 and 8-3-4 of Prior Lake City Code are hereby amended
to read as follows:
8-3-3: WORK DONE BY CITY: If the provisions of the foregoing
section are not complied with, the City shall serve
written notice upon the owner, lessee or occupant or any person
having control of such lot or land, to comply with the provisions of
this Chapter. If the person upon whom the notice is served fails or
refuses to cut or remove or cause to be cut and removed such weeds,
grass, brush or other vegetation within five (5) days after receipt
of such notice, then the City shall cause the weeds, grass, brush and
other vegetation on such lot or land to be cut and removed. The
actual cost of cutting and removal, plus such sums as determined by
the City Council to reimburse the City for its costs of inspection,
shall be certified by the City Manager and shall thereupon become a
lien upon the lot or land on which such weeds, grass, brush and other
vegetation were located and shall be added to and become and form a
part of the taxes next to be assessed and levied upon such lot or
land and shall bear interest at the same rate as taxes and shall be
collected and enforced by the same officer and in the same manner as
real estate taxes; provided, however, the owner, lessee or occupant
or any person having control of the lot or land, may pay to the City
in full the actual costs incurred for cutting and removal plus the
inspection fee by September 15 of the same calendar year in which the
cutting and removal occurred in order to avoid having such costs
levied upon the lot or land.
8-3-4: PENALTY: Any person violating any provisions of this
Chapter shall be guilty of a petty misdemeanor and upon
conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine of not more than two
hundred dollars ($200.00).
This ordinance shall become effective from and after its passage and
publication.
