| 1 | | | Agenda Item | ORDINANCE NO. 3325: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF LONGVIEW, WASHINGTON AMENDING LMC 16.32.235 TROUGH 16.32.290 WITH REGARD TO SUBSTANDARD BUILDINGS AND ADOPTING ABATEMENT PROCEDURES CONSISTENT WITH RCW 35.80 AND ADDING APPLICABLE DEFINITIONS TO LMC16.32.
COUNCIL STRATEGIC INITIATIVE ADDRESSED:
Preserve and enhance neighborhoods
CITY ATTORNEY REVIEW: REQUIRED
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
LMC 16.32 contains a process for abatement of dangerous dwellings. However, because the process outlined in the code does not provide the procedural steps contained in RCW 35.80 the City would not be able to lien the abated properties to ultimately recover the costs of abatement.
The proposed amendment amends LMC 16.32 to closely follow the process outlined in RCW 35.80.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Discussion only; to be considered for adoption at September 8, 2016 regular meeting
