(a message was left on Mr. Fitterer's answering machine). On August 7. 2000, the certified mail slip was returned to the Code Administration office, signed by Sharon A. Fitterer. The first resolution should be enacted if the owners of the lots listed on the attached report do not respond to the notice nor take any action to remove from their lots the hazardous vegetation or debris in accordance with the notice given by the Code Administration Manager. The second resolution should be enacted if the City Council hears evidence by owners of property mentioned in the attached report and has made deletions and adjustments to said report based upon findings from such evidence.
