A. The city shall notify the owner and tenant of a property in writing when the number of police responses in the current calendar year to a residential unit reaches six. When the number of responses reaches eight, the owner and tenant shall be notified by the city that subsequent qualifying calls may result in a citation being issued to appropriate individuals.

B. A notice under this section shall be given in a manner reasonably calculated, under all the circumstances, to provide actual notice to the person of the potential liability for citation. At a minimum, the notice shall be sent by certified mail or by direct delivery, return receipt requested, to the mailing address of the person as shown on property tax records. If the mailed notice is returned refused for signature by the recipient, actual notice shall be conclusively presumed on the date refused. If the mailed notice is returned unclaimed or undeliverable, the city shall accomplish notice by another method and attest to the date notice is accomplished by affidavit or in a police report. Notice may be accomplished by any lawful manner.

C. The notice addressed to an owner and tenant shall:

1. Identify the property that is the subject of the notice by street address, and if the property has multiple units, identify the dwelling unit;

2. State the number of police responses in the calendar year to date and state additional police responses to the unit or property may result in the issuance of a citation under this chapter;

3. State the person shall be liable for additional citations for each excessive police response to the property during the calendar year;

4. State the amount of the citation per excessive police response; and

5. State the contact information of a representative of the police department to contact concerning the notice. (Ord. 19-016 § 3, 2019)
