FROM
Honorable Mayor and City Council
Dominic Lazzaretto, City Manager
Lisa Mussenden, Chief Deputy City Clerk/Records Manager
SUBJECT: CONFIRM THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES DEPARTMENT OF
AGRICULTURAL COMMISSIONER/WEIGHTS AND MEASURES WEED
ABATEMENT CHARGES
Recommendation: Approve
SUMMARY
Annually, the County of Los Angeles Agricultural Commissioner/Weights and Measures
(the "County ") abates weeds, rubbish, and refuse from certain properties within the City
of Arcadia. At the request of the County, this public hearing has been scheduled to
provide Arcadia residents, who have been charged an inspection and /or weed
abatement charge, an opportunity to protest the charge.
DISCUSSION
At the City Council meeting of February 4, 2014, the City Council set the date of
February 18, 2014, for a Public Hearing regarding the properties in the City which were
found to have weeds, brush, and /or rubbish, as determined by the County. At the public
hearing, no objections were noted. Property owners had the option of cleaning their
properties of weeds and debris or allowing the County to do it for them. If the property
owners chose to have the County abate the weeds, the charges would be levied as an
assessment by the County Assessor.
The County has since informed the property owners of the cost for destroying and
removing the weeds on their properties. The County has provided the attached weed
abatement charge list (Attachment 1) and a list of properties (Attachment 11) within the
City on which the County has removed weeds and assessed a charge. Each property
on the list incurred an annual inspection fee of $42.32.

Each property on the list has been posted and noticed regarding the public hearing. If a
property owner objects to the assessed charge during the public hearing, the City
Council may elect to have the matter investigated by the Arcadia Fire Department or
overrule the objection.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the City as a result of City Council action on this item. Each
affected property owner will be required to pay an assessment of $42.32 for the County
inspection and abatement services.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council confirm the weed abatement charges and order
the County Auditor to enter the amounts of the assessment against the parcels of land
as they appear on the current assessment roll.
