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

CEQA: Not a Project
Recommendation: Approve
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, a public hearing has been scheduled to provide Arcadia residents assessed
with an inspection and/or weed abatement charge an opportunity to protest the
charge. It is recommended that the City Council approve the weed abatement
charges for the 18 properties listed 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.
DISCUSSION
At the regular meeting of February 3, 2026, the City Council set a public hearing for
February 17, 2026, regarding the properties in the City that were found to have
weeds, brush, and/or rubbish, as determined by the County. At the public hearing on
February 17, no property owners attended or raised any objections. Property owners
had the option of clearing their properties of weeds and debris or allowing the
County to do so on their behalf. If the property owner chose to have the County abate

their property on their behalf, 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, which identifies the properties where the County performed
weed abatement and assessed a charge. Each property on the list incurred an annual
inspection fee of $59.07.
The County has sent each property on the list a notice regarding the proposed
abatement charges and the City has posted notice of this public hearing. If a property
owner objects to the assessed charge during the public hearing, the City Council may
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”), as 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
$59.07 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.
