SECTION 4. If, within thirty (30) days from the date of this ordinance, any such
building listed in this Section has not been demolished, as appropriate, it shall be
demolished and removed at the expense of the City by the City or its contractor, and the
net cost for demolition or removal shall be charged to the owners of the property and
assessed on the land on which the building stood.
The fact that the demolition of dangerous buildings is being delayed pending the
taking effect of this ordinance created an emergency for the immediate preservation of
the public business place, property, health, safety and general welfare of the public
which requires that this ordinance shall become effective from and after the date of its
passage and is accordingly so ordained.
SECTION 5. It is hereby officially found and determined that the meeting at
which this ordinance was passed was open to the public as required by law.
PASSED AND APPROVED this the 20th day of June 2000.
