Council approves $1,305.66 nuisance‑abatement lien for 2117 Mariposa Drive
Summary
Council adopted Resolution 2026‑25 confirming $1,305.66 in nuisance‑abatement costs for 2117 Mariposa Drive and authorized recovery through a special assessment and lien on the secured property tax roll; the motion passed unanimously (5‑0).
City staff summarized a code‑enforcement action at 2117 Mariposa Drive, reporting multiple notices to the property owner and neighbors’ complaints about tall weeds and dry brush. Staff said a cleanup was performed on July 2 and presented an itemized cost of $1,305.66 that they seek to recover through a special assessment and lien on the secured property tax roll.
"As you can see in your packet, the property was in violation," a staff member said when presenting the item and asked the council to authorize recovery of the cleanup costs. Council members asked whether staff had contacted the realtor and whether photographs showing the condition before and after the cleanup were included; staff said the realtor was contacted and that before/after photos are included in the packet (one member noted technical trouble viewing them during the meeting). A motion to adopt Resolution 2026‑25 was made, seconded and carried 5‑0.
Staff said the city followed its standard notice process, contacted the realtor and learned the bank was pursuing a short sale; if the parcel remains noncompliant in future periods staff will follow the same abatement process. No public commenters spoke on the item during the meeting.
