following a public hearing, adopted Resolution No. 1014 declaring a public nuisance on
the property at #1 Poppy Trail Road owned by Mr. Alan Sheen and required specific

the City initiated and completed the nuisance abatement on the property.
Pursuant to Rolling Hills Municipal Code Section 8.24.060, the City notified the
property owner of #1 Poppy Trail that the nuisance has been abated by the City and
provided the cost of the abatement.. Correspondence that was forwarded to the

the nuisance abatement costs at this evening's City Council meeting.
The cost of the abatement is $74,403.70 which includes the following:
Original scope of work $68,771.00
Change order for larger stakes $ 7,682.00
Subtotal $76,453.00
Credit for n on -returnable materials ($ 2,049.30)
Total $74,043.70
Pursuant to Rolling Hills Municipal Code Section 8.24.070, the property owner of #1
Poppy Trail is required to pay the costs of the nuisance abatement that are approved by
the City Council within 10 days of the City Council approval. Further, Rolling Hills
Municipal Code Section 8.24.070 authorizes the City Clerk to record a lien on the
property if the costs are not paid within 10 days of the date of the Notice of Abatement
(City Council approval).
