Article II. General Provisions
Section 13.02.0226 Property Clean-up – Right-of-way Obstructions
- Property clean-up jobs, whether carried out at the request of a customer (owner or occupant) or pursuant to a code enforcement or nuisance abatement function, with or without prior notice, are charged based upon time, distance of haul, accessibility of staff, vehicles and equipment to materials, number and kind of workers, equipment used, volumes or weights of materials removed, or any combination of these variables.
- The department may trim any trees, shrubbery or remove any obstructions or obstacles to the safe and efficient collection of solid waste on, over or otherwise obstructing clear passage of solid waste collection vehicles or functions.
-
- Prior to taking action under this subsection (B), the director may cause reasonable notice to be given to the customer by mail and/or notice left at the premises in such manner as deemed proper. Not by way of limitation of the foregoing, no notice is required in case of emergent circumstances or where, in the driver’s judgment, there is a safety hazard, danger of damage to city equipment or undue delay in collection operations.
-
- Any charges for such action may be added to the combined municipal utility bill as a charge for solid waste service, provided the director may waive incidental or minor charges in the exercise of sound business discretion.
