nuisance, the city will inventory the property, and the city administrator or their designee will <br />determine whether the items seized have any reasonable value, in excess of city costs to store and <br />dispose of the property. If, after inventory, the city administrator or their designee makes a <br />determination that no reasonable value of the property exists or that destruction of the property is <br />necessary to abate the nuisance, the property shall be destroyed. If the city administrator or their <br />designee, however, determines such destruction is not necessary and there is reasonable value <br />remaining in the property, the property shall be sold. The amount of money received as a result of <br />any sale, if any, shall be applied against the cost of abatement, including all costs incurred by the city <br />in the abatement, including without limitation the cost of the removal, storage, handling, <br />destruction, and disposal thereof, all staff time, legal and other consulting fees. Any balance <br />remaining after such reimbursement to the city, if any, shall be remitted to the property owner. <br />This provision may be utilized in conjunction with a court order for injunctive relief. <br />(d) Nothing in this section prevents abatement by the city of a public nuisance without notice <br />and hearing in the case of an emergency in which there is an immediate and direct threat to the <br />public health or safety. The expense of such an emergency abatement shall be collected as a special <br />assessment against the property upon which the nuisance was located. <br />Secs. 46-41^46-79.
