Mr. Keith D. Nordstrom, 202 Pleasanthome Drive, La Puente,
appeared before Council, stating he had made arrangements
with the previous Superintendent of Public Works to be
personally notified if his property needed weed abatement.
He further stated he was not so notified and that he did not
see a posting on his property; that only one lot of the
two lots he owns was cleared; and that the lot claimed by
the Public Works Department to be cleared was not his lot.
The City Attorney said the Weed Abatement Act simply re-
quires posting of notices:
The Director of Public Works stated the lot was posted.
Since his attention was drawn to the past arrangement with
' Mr. Nordstrom, the Director of Public Works will, in the
future, notify him if his property needs clearing.
It was noted by the Mayor that any commitment made by the
Director of Public Works relative to personal contact is
beyond what is required by law and does not bind the
Council or any succeeding Directors of Public Works; also,
in the event that such personal contact was not made,
this would not nullify any due and proper assessment.
Moved by Councilman Decker, seconded by Councilman Cooney
and unanimously carried by roll call to deny protest of
