BACKGROUND:
Contra Costa County Ordinance Code Article 14-6.4 and California Government Code Section 25845 authorize
the recovery of abatement costs in public nuisance cases, the recordation of a Notice of Abatement Lien, and
inclusion of abatement costs on the tax roll as a special assessment, upon approval of the Board of Supervisors.

Notice of this Cost Hearing was sent to the property owner by certified mail by the Clerk of the Board. For proof
