Council confirms weed‑abatement nuisances, adopts assessment resolution 5–0
Summary
After opening and closing a public hearing with no public protests, the Willows City Council adopted a resolution confirming properties as nuisances and ordered abatement; the resolution passed unanimously by roll call.
The Willows City Council held a public hearing on weed abatement special assessments on May 13 and adopted a resolution confirming nuisance declarations and orders for abatement.
City staff opened the hearing, invited property owners to speak and, finding none present, closed it. The police/chief representative explained that several parcels had been removed from the amended list after staff verified ownership or that abatement had already occurred. The council member moved adoption of the resolution entitled "A resolution of the City Council of the City of Willows confirming declarations of nuisances as amended and confirming order for abatement." The motion was seconded and carried by roll call vote: Council member Busby (aye), Council member Pride (aye), Council member Hanson (aye), Vice Mayor Richard Thomas (aye) and Mayor Evan Hudson (yes).
Staff said the resolution formalizes earlier notices and the city’s action to abate nuisance vegetation where owners did not bring properties into compliance; the resolution also starts the assessment process for city abatement costs where applicable.
Ending: The resolution passed 5–0; staff will proceed with abatement and any related assessments under city procedure.
