Such notice shall provide that each owner, occupant or person in charge of any lot within the city shall cut and remove all noxious weeds, and keep grass and other weeds cut from alley to street even in the right of waysas to prevent aforementioned problems from occurring.

If the fee is not paid within 10 days of the bill the minimum fee will increase to $200.00 and $200.00/hour following the first hour. The fee will be $100.00/hour for each additional person required to complete the job.
