given to the owner of the property (Wilma Augustine, owner). To date, no action has
been taken by the owner of the property or the vehicles. If the vehicles are removed by
the city, all costs of abatement will be charged to the owner of the property. Staff
recommends approving the resolution allowing the two vehicles located at 1803 General
Custer Rd. to be abated by the city.

City of Hays Ordinance requirements. No progress has been made on the vehicles. Staff is
