SUMMARY
Annually, the County of Los Angeles Department of Agricultural Commissioner/Weights
and Measures (“County”) abates weeds, rubbish, and refuse from certain properties
within the City of Arcadia (“City”). At the request of the County, this Public Hearing has
been scheduled to provide Arcadia residents that have been assessed an inspection
and/or weed abatement charge, an opportunity to protest the charge.
DISCUSSION
At the City Council meeting of February 6, 2024, the City Council set the date of February
20, 2024, 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
on February 6, no objections were noted. Property owners had the option of clearing their
properties of weeds and debris or allow the County to do so on their behalf. 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 (Attachment No. 1) and a List of Properties (Attachment No. 2)
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 $51.59.

Each property on the list has been posted and noticed by the County regarding this 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 of assessing charges 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.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the City as a result of City Council action on this item. At a
minimum, each affected property owner is required to pay an assessment of $51.59 to
the County for inspection services.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council determine that this action does not constitute a
project 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.
