Drafted an ordinance for the abatement of junked vehicles on private property. Ordinance defines junked vehicle; proclaims them a nuisance; requires a written notice to remove, procedures for the person in the notice to request a hearing before council; a 10 day waiting period after the notice is provided to allow the individual to come into compliance; and notice to the registered owner of the vehicle or property owner if the registered vehicle owner cannot be found, that the vehicle has been removed or impounded. Statute permits municipalities to define a nuisance and requires reasonable notice to abate a private nuisance, so I feel like the ordinance is compliant. However, the chief of police was informed by someone at CLEET, not a CLEET attorney, that this process is illegal and will result in an officer's CLEET certification being revoked. Is there something I have missed regarding a municipality's ability to abate a junked vehicle on private property? I haven't found anything as of yet. Phillip N. Morton, J.D. P.O.
