(1) Any w**ds or common grass, whether noxious as defined by law or not, growing upon any lot or parcel of land outside the traveled portion of any street or alley in the city to a greater height than
six inches or which have gone or about to go to seed are a nuisance. The owner and the occupant shall abate or prevent the nuisance on the property and on land outside the traveled portion of the street or alley abutting on the property.

he or she resides in the municipality and can be found or upon the occupant in other cases, by registered or certified mail or by personal service, ordering the owner or occupant to have the w**ds cut and removed within ten days after receipt of the notice and also stating that, in case of non-compliance, the work will be done by the Street Commissioner at the expense of the owner and that if unpaid, the charge for the work will be made a special assessment against the property concerned. When no owner,
occupant or agent of the owner or occupant can be found, the provision for notice shall not apply.

(3) If the owner or occupant fails to comply with the notice within ten days after receipt, or if no owner, occupant or agent of the owner can be found, the Street Commissioner shall cut and remove
the w**ds or common grass. He or she should keep a record showing the cost of the work attributable to each separate lot and parcel and shall deliver the information to the city Administrator-Clerk.
