S-5043

   Amend Senate File 2146 as follows:
   1.  By striking page 1, line 34, through page 2, line 7, and inserting: 
   <e.  If the abutting property owner does not perform an action required under this subsection within a reasonable time, a city may perform the required action and assess the material costs, direct labor costs, and an administrative fee not to exceed twenty dollars against the abutting property owner for collection in the same manner as a property tax.  A city shall not assess a fine against an abutting property owner for failure to comply with paragraph “b” or “c”. A city shall not assess costs or fees under this paragraph unless the city has provided the abutting property owner with notice of the violation and an opportunity to appeal or demonstrate hardship pursuant to a process established by ordinance. This power paragraph does not relieve the abutting property owner of liability imposed under paragraph “b” or “c”.>
