Only one (1) enforcement mowing was carried out on private lands. This landowner has not paid the enforcement mowing bill and therefore a lien needs to be placed on the property so the bill is paid along with the property taxes. The landowner is Holly Clifford 23288 CR 4 Hudson, CO 80642; 147336000043; TIN, R65W, Sec 36. The Scotch thistle covered 70% of the property. The thistle averaged four (4) feet in height. The infestation on this property was first identified on June 9 when a neighbor filed a complaint. A hang -card was left on the chained closed gate. A postcard was sent on June 12 trying to reach the absentee landowner at the only address we have for them. An effort was made to track down a phone number or other address for the landowner. This was not successful. A legal notice was mailed on June 14 both certified and regular mail. Once the legal notice expired, right of entry from the Board of County Commissioners was requested on July 10. The mowing enforcement was carried out on July 18. The mowing enforcement bill is $700 for the contractor and $140 for the 20% administrative fee for a total bill of $840.00. The Assessor fee for placing the lien will be $93.33 bringing the grand total to $933.33. What options exist for the Board? (Include consequences, impacts, costs, etc. of options) I. Allow the lien to be placed on the property for the full amount of $933.33 2. Allow the lien to be placed on the property for the amount of $777.78 (not include the 20% administrative fee) 3. Do not place a lien on the property. Recommendation: 1. Allow the lien to be placed on the property in the full amount of $933.33. Sean P. Conway Julie A.
