SECTION 4. If, within thirty (30) days from the date of this ordinance, any such building
listed in Section 3 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 4�' day of December, 2007.
