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. Confirm County Weed Abatement Charges July 20, 2021 Page 2 of 2 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.
