At the time stated in the notice given pursuant to this Chapter, the City Council shall hear and consider all evidence, objections or protests, if any, regarding the existence and proposed abatement of such public nuisance. The hearing may be continued from time to time. The City Council shall, after considering all evidence, protests or objections, render a decision as to the existence of a nuisance, such decision to be by resolution and shall contain findings of fact and a determination of the issues presented. After final action is taken by the City Council finding that a public nuisance exists, the council shall by resolution order an appropriate City officer to abate the nuisance. The City Council may further order that the costs of any such abatement will be assessed upon the property from which the nuisance is abated and that such costs shall constitute a lien upon such property until paid. If, pursuant to Section 8.12.030(E), the City has given notice that it will seek to recover its attorneys’ fees incurred in the nuisance abatement action or proceeding, then the City Council may include the amount of attorneys’ fees incurred by the City as part of the costs to be assessed upon the property under this Section. The decision of the City Council is final. (Ord. 98-7 § 3, 1998; Ord. 76-4 § 1, 1976; prior code § 13A-4.)
