A. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Chapter, a public nuisance which is an emergency and which, if unabated, constitutes a threat to the public safety, health and welfare, may be summarily abated upon the determination of the City Manager-Police Administrator that such nuisance exists and does, in fact, constitute a threat to the public safety, health and welfare.

B. Upon such determination, the City Manager-Police Administrator may direct any officer of the City, or his assistant, deputy, employee or contracting agent, or other representative, to enter upon private property for the purpose of abating the public nuisance. Should it be practicable to sell or salvage any material procured from such abatement, it may be sold at public or private sale at the best price obtainable, and an itemized account of the proceeds shall be maintained by the City Manager-Police Administrator. Such proceeds, if any, shall be deposited in a general fund of the City and shall be credited against the cost of abatement as provided for in this Chapter.

C. Such summary abatement is not subject to the procedures set forth in Sections 8.12.030 through 8.12.050. (Ord. 76-4 § 1, 1976; prior code § 13A-8.)
