5.92.030 Abatement generally.

A. Whenever the department head determines that any pay telephone constitutes a public nuisance as defined in Section 5.92.010 or 5.92.020 of this chapter, the department head may commence proceedings to abate the nuisance. The abatement proceedings shall conform to Chapter 8.04 of this code, except as specified in this chapter. B. No proceedings to abate a public nuisance as defined in Section 5.92.020 of this chapter shall be commenced unless the department head first has made a reasonable effort to work with the property owner where the pay telephone is located or the pay telephone vendor to eliminate the conditions described in Section 5.92.020 of this chapter by voluntary measures, such as blocking incoming calls, adding lighting, changing the telephone's location on the parcel, making the telephone temporarily inoperative, or temporarily removing the telephone.
