8.01.110 Enforcement.
Whenever the enforcing officer becomes aware that an owner or occupant has failed to abate any unlawful marijuana cultivation within 10 days (1) of the date of service of the notice to unlawful marijuana cultivation, unless timely appealed, or (2) of the date of the decision of the Board of Supervisors requiring such abatement, the enforcing officer may take one or more of the following actions:
A. Enter upon the property and abate the nuisance by county personnel, or by private contractor under the direction of the enforcing officer. The enforcing officer may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for a warrant authorizing entry upon the property for purposes of undertaking the work, if necessary. If any part of the work is to be accomplished by private contract, that contract shall be submitted to and approved by the Board of Supervisors prior to commencement of work. Nothing herein shall be construed to require that any private contract under this code be awarded through competitive bidding procedures where such procedures are not required by the general laws of the state of California; and/or
B. Request that the County Counsel commence a civil action to redress, enjoin, and abate the public nuisance. (Ord. 1055, eff. 8/21/14)
