BUDGET IMPACT

The actual cost of abatement will be charged to violators versus a set fee ($150). This reduces the impact on the general fund, as the actual cost will be passed on to violators and not paid for by tax dollars.

BUDGET ORDINANCE IMPACT

BACKGROUND

The current Gaston County Fee Schedule contains a fee for Nuisance Abatement listed at $150.00 with an additional $200.00 Administrative Fee.  Since violations of the public nuisance ordinance, specifically grass cutting, are punishable by fine, the fee of $150 should be removed from the current Fee Schedule. The actual cost of the abatement will be set by the contracted price that the County has established with the nuisance abatement contractor or Public Works, whoever is performing the remediation. The full cost will be billed to violators pursuant to the ordinance along with the flat administrative fee of $200.
