If the council or hearings officer has ordered closure of a property which is not challenged, or if the municipal court upholds an appeal of an order which has been challenged, the city shall take steps to physically secure the property against all use, and post conspicuous notices that the property has been closed. All costs reasonably incurred by the city in securing the property shall be made an assessment lien upon the property in the manner described in McMinnville Municipal Code. Costs include but are not limited to staff time and materials. Prior to physically closing the property, the city may but is not required to provide the owner with a brief opportunity to physically secure the property against all use at the owner’s expense. (Ord. 4784 §12, 2003).
