impacted by this change at this time.

description to accurately reflect the current job duties and responsibilities of the position.
After updating the job description, the Airport Commission reviewed the pay grade for the
position and determined the duties and responsibilities of the position were comparable to
positions in grade 27. The Airport Commission recommends deleting the position of Airport
Manager from grade 23 and adding it to grade 27.

12. Assessment Schedule
20, Resolution adopting an assessment schedule of unpaid mowing, dean -up
of property, snow removal, sidewalk repair, and stop box repair charges
and directing the Clerk to certify the same to the Johnson County
Treasurer for collection in the same manner as property taxes.
Comment The City has the authority under Iowa Code §364.13B to assess the nuisance
abatement costs in the same manner as a property tax. This resolution allows the City aerk to
certify to the Johnson County Treasurer the abatement cost to be assessed against the property.
This assessment is being pursued only after the City took many steps to resolve the matter. The
City notified the property owners to abate the nuisance (for example, to remove snow from the
sidewalk) and after the owner did not take action to abate the nuisance, the City abated the
nuisance and billed the owner. After being billed at least twice, these owners still have not paid the
abatement costs with one exception. The owner of the proposed assPssment for
841 S. 7th Ave. has only been billed once because the property is in foreclosure. The
assessment against this property is also pursuant to a court order. The City has sent a letter to
the owners giving them notice that this resolution would be on the agenda, a copy of which is
attached to the resolution. No interest will be charged if the owner pays within 30 days of the
first required publication. Attached as an exhibit to the resolution is a list of the properties that will
be assessed and the amount that will be assessed.
