NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Council of the Town of Los Gatos, and the Town Council hereby finds that hazardous vegetation (brush) is a wood, perennial plant usually with multiple stems and trunks under ten feet in height and is indigenous to the hillside area. Hazardous vegetation (brush) is also known to have a high oil, high resin, or low moisture contention in their leaves and branches. Examples of this type of plant material include California Sagebrush, Greaswood or Chamise, Scotch Broom and Toyon. Unabated growth of hazardous vegetation (brush) upon and adjacent to private property within the hillside hazardous fire area and adjacent parkways and sidewalks is a public nuisance and should be abated. The Director of Parks and Public Works shall act as the Superintendent for purposes of giving notice, supervising performance of the agreement with the County of Santa Clara, and evaluating the costs of abatement. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Town Clerk is directed to mail notice of this resolution to the persons designated by the Superintendent in conformance with the Government Code and publish notice of this resolution as provided in the Government Code. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that unless the hazardous vegetation (brush) violations are corrected within the time specified in a written agreement with the Superintendent or the Superintendent's representative, the Town of Los Gatos shall cause such nuisance to be abated, and the expense thereof assessed upon the lots or lands from which or on which the abatement actions occur, such expense to constitute a lien upon such lots or lands until paid, and to be collected upon the next real property tax roll upon which general municipal taxes are collected. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that on the 1st day of June 2021, at a meeting of the Town Council beginning at 7:00 p.m. via publicly noticed teleconference in Los Gatos, CA, a public hearing will be held during which all property owners within the Wildland Urban Interface areas in the Town of Los Gatos having any objections to the proposed abatement of hazardous vegetation (brush) will be heard and given due consideration.
