§ 9.40.070. Relief from closure order.

A.

An owner of a structure determined to be specified crime property may obtain relief from the court's judgment if:

1.

They appear and pay all costs associated with the proceedings under this chapter;

2.

They file a bond in such a place and form as the court may by order direct in an amount not less than the tax-assessed value of the structure and keep said bond in force for a period of not less than one year or for such period as the court directs;

3.

They enter into a stipulation with the city that they will immediately abate the conditions giving rise to the specified crime property and prevent the same from being established or maintained thereafter. The stipulation will then be made part of the court's file.

B.

In the event that the owner violates the terms of the stipulation, the city may thereafter apply to the court for an order awarding up to the entire amount of the aforementioned bond to the city as a penalty as well as such other relief, including closure for any additional period of up to one year, that is deemed by the court as appropriate.
