CUCAMONGA CONFIRMING AN ITEMIZED WRITTEN REPORT
SHOWING THE ACTUAL COSTS OF WEED AND FIRE HAZARD
ABATEMENT FOR EACH SEPARATE PARCEL OF LAND AS
REQUIRED BY CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 39574,
PROVIDING THAT EACH SUCH COST OF ABATEMENT SHALL

A. Recitals
(i) California Government Code Section 39502 authorizes the City of
Rancho Cucamonga (City) to adopt an ordinance providing for the removal of
grass, weeds, rubbish and other materials that can be dangerous or injurious to
neighboring property or the health and welfare of residents in the vicinity and
make the cost of removal a lien on the property.
(ii) The City adopted Ordinance 832, which is codified as Chapter 8.46 of the
Municipal Code providing for the removal of grass, weeds, etc. as allowed by the
Government Code.
(iii) Chapter 8.46 of the Municipal Code authorizes the Rancho Cucamonga
Fire Protection District (District), serving as the City's fire department, to perform
weed and fire hazard abatement on behalf of the City.
(iv) The District provided notice to abate weeds and fire hazards to the
owners of record of non-compliant parcels and provided a completion date for the
required abatement, all as required by law. Owners receiving such notice were
advised of their right to object and appeal the order to abate.
(v) Parcels not abated by the completion date were referred to approved
contractors to perform the required abatement work, by order of the District.
(vi) The District was provided with itemized billings for the cost of abatement
for each parcel by the abatement contractors. Using the itemized contractors'
billings, the District prepared an itemized, written report setting forth all
abatement costs for each affected parcel, as required by California Government
Code Section 39574 (written report). Prior to the adoption of this Resolution, the
District billed the owners of record of the affected parcels listed in the written
report for the cost of abatement, plus approved administrative fees as authorized
by Government Code Section 38573 and District's fee resolution (collectively,
costs of abatement). Owners receiving such billings were advised of their right to
object and appeal the amount of the bill. None of the costs or fees set forth in the
written report have been paid, nor are any the subject of a pending appeal.
