The “appropriate city official” shall give an itemized written report to the city governing body regarding the cost of abating the nuisance. The cost of abatement shall be the actual cost the city incurs in the abatement, including administrative costs. Should the city contract for abatement, the cost shall be the actual costs the contractor charges the city for the abatement, including administrative costs the city incurs. Upon report of the costs by the appropriate city official, the governing body shall adopt a resolution confirming the costs of the reports, provided that any person, firm, or corporation having an interest in the property may be heard at the meeting concerning the fixing of the costs or the amounts thereof. The city clerk of the city shall give at least 10 days’ notice of the meeting at which the fixing of the costs is to be considered by first-class mail to all entities having an interest in the property whose address and interest is determined from the revenue commissioner’s records on the property or is otherwise known to the clerk.
