property to which city officials must repeatedly respond to nuisance public safety service calls

providing normal law enforcement services and police protection city-wide.

required to respond, including, but not limited to the following:

Sec. 24-150 Notice.
The city shall send written notice to the record owner of any property which has had two
repeat nuisance service calls within the preceding 365 day period. No repeat nuisance service
call fee shall be imposed without first providing the owner with written notice. Such written

the previous nuisance conduct;
(b) State that the owner may be subject to a nuisance call service fee if a third nuisance

(c) State that the city has the right to seek other legal remedies or actions for abatement of
the nuisance or compliance with the law; and
(d) Be served by U.S. mail upon the owner at their last known address, or by posting such

nuisance service call fee is imposed.
Sec. 24-151 Right to Appeal.
(a) When the city mails the billing statement for the repeat nuisance service call fee, the city
will also inform the owner of their right to request a hearing before the city council to appeal the
imposition of such fee.
(b) The owner of any property upon which the fee is imposed may request a hearing within 10
days of the date that notice was mailed or posted. In calculating 10 days, the date that the notice
was mailed or posted shall not be counted. Any request for a hearing must be in writing and
delivered to the city clerk. The hearing shall occur within 30 days of the date of receipt of the
request by the city. If the owner fails to request a hearing within the time and in the manner
required under this section, the right to appeal hereunder is waived.
