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 Resolution No. 16-041 — Page 1 of 4 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. (vii) Attached hereto as Exhibit "A", and incorporated by reference herein, is the written report required by California Government Code Section 39574, setting forth a true and correct list of parcels with unpaid weed abatement costs and fees, and the amount of all costs of abatement for each parcel. (viii) All legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred. B. Resolution NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council hereby finds and resolves as follows: 1. The facts set forth in Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct. 2. The City Council hereby finds that all costs of abatement set forth in Exhibit A are reasonable and do not exceed the actual costs to the City or District in providing abatement services. Based thereon, the City Council hereby confirms all costs set forth in the written report, Exhibit A hereto. 3. All costs of abatement for each parcel of land listed in Exhibit A shall constitute a special assessment and lien against that parcel of land, as authorized by California Government Code Section 39577 and Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code Chapter 8.46. 4. The Fire Chief is hereby directed to deliver a certified copy of this Resolution, including Exhibit A hereto, to the San Bernardino County Auditor whereupon all costs of abatement set forth in Exhibit A shall constitute an assessment against each listed parcel as part of the County's tax assessments, and shall be made part of the tax rolls, all in accordance with California Government Code Sections 39578, 39579, 39580, and 39583 and any other provision of law applicable thereto. Thereafter, a lien shall attach against each such parcel upon recordation of the order confirming the assessment in the office of the County Recorder. 5.
