A. A ten-day notice of intention to abate and remove the vehicle or part thereof as a public nuisance shall be mailed, attested to by a written and signed proof of service to the owner of the land as shown on the last County assessment roll as provided to the City on an annual basis by the County Assessor/Recorder, and to the last registered or legal owner of record, unless the vehicle is in such condition that identification numbers are not available to determine ownership. Such notice shall contain a statement of the hearing rights of the owner of the property and the owner of the vehicle and shall include notice to the property owner that he/she may appear in person at a hearing or may present a sworn written statement denying responsibility for the presence of the vehicles on the land, with his/ her reasons for such denial, in lieu of appearing

B. The requirement that a ten-day notice of intention to abate and remove the vehicle or part thereof as a public nuisance may be waived if the property owner and the owner of the vehicle have signed releases authorizing removal and waiving further interest in the vehicle or part thereof. However, the notice of intention is not required for removal of a vehicle or part thereof which is inoperable due to the absence of a motor, transmission or wheel and incapable of being towed, is valued at less than two hundred dollars by a person specified in Section 22855 of the Vehicle Code, and is determined to be a public nuisance presenting an immediate threat to public health or safety.
