A. The city manager may issue a notice and order by personal service or by certified mail service on the person with a legal or equitable interest in the parcel that is the subject of the notice and order. If the identity and address of the person with a legal or equitable interest in the parcel cannot be ascertained through the Bethel District recording office or another reasonable method, then the notice and order shall be sent by certified mail to the last known person with a legal or equitable interest in the parcel at their last known address, and posted at or on the parcel that is the subject of the notice and order. Employees or agents of the city are authorized to enter upon the parcel for the purpose of serving or posting a notice and order. Certified mail service is complete upon mailing. Personal service is complete upon handing the notice and order to the person being served.

B. The notice and order shall set forth the reasons for its issuance, contain a brief description of the five (5) or more separate violations which serve as the basis for the issuance of the notice and order, identify the resultant penalties or other required actions, including but not limited to any abatement orders, and the notice and order shall otherwise comply with the provisions of this chapter.

C. Person(s) served with a notice and order shall fully comply with the notice and order within fifteen (15) days or such longer time as may be required in the notice and order for compliance. Failure to comply with a notice and order shall constitute a separate violation of this chapter. Each day following the deadline for compliance that a person fails to fully comply with a notice and order constitutes a separate violation of this chapter unless the person has contested the notice and order in strict accordance with the provisions of this chapter.

D. The notice and order shall inform the person served with it that they may contest it by filing a written request with the city manager for review of the notice and order by the city council in accordance with the procedures provided for in this chapter, and that the written request must be filed no later then fifteen (15) days after the notice and order was served.
