AGRICULTURAL COMMISSIONER/WEIGHTS AND MEASURES WEED
ABATEMENT CHARGES, AND ORDER THE COUNTY AUDITOR TO
ENTER THE AMOUNTS OF THE ASSESSMENT AGAINST THE

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 that have been charged an inspection and/or weed
abatement charge an opportunity to protest the charge.
DISCUSSION
At the City Council meeting of February 2, 2021, the City Council set the date of
February 16, 2021, 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 allow the County to do it for them. If the property
owner 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 (Exhibit “A”) and a List of Properties (Exhibit “B”) 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 $42.55.

Each property on the list has been posted and noticed by the County 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.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed action does not constitute a project under the California Environmental
Quality Act (“CEQA”), and it can be seen with certainty that it will have no impact on the
environment. Thus, this matter is exempt under CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the City as a result of City Council action on this item. Each
affected property owner is required to pay an assessment of $42.55 to the County for
inspection and abatement services.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council determine that this project is exempt under the
California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”); and confirm the County of Los Angeles
Department of Agricultural Commissioner/Weights and Measures 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.
