Title 12 STREET, SIDEWALKS AND PUBLIC PLACES*
Chapter 12.30 TREE ORDINANCE
12.30.090 Enforcement.
A. If any property owner fails to prune or remove trees as provided in
this chapter, the city inspector shall order such person, within ten days after
receipt of written notice, to correct the violation.
B. If a person to whom
and order is directed fails to comply within the specified time, the city shall
perform, or cause to be performed the required action.
C. The city inspector
may cause a citation to be issued to the offending party for violation of this
chapter in the manner prescribed by Chapter 2.32 of the Clovis City
Code.
D. In instances where the city has caused required maintenance to be
performed at city expense, the city clerk shall prepare a claim of lien against
the tract of real property involved, in such form as may be satisfactory to him,
and shall file such claim of lien as an encumbrance against the tract of real
property in the office of the county clerk. Such lien when filed and recorded as
required by law, shall constitute a first and paramount lien against such tract
of real property, subject only to the priority of the general property
tax.
E. The remedies prescribed in this section shall be considered
cumulative, and the exercise of one such remedy shall not preclude the city from
pursuing any other remedy. (Ord. 1595-99 § 2(part), 1999).
