A. 

In the event that bamboo growing on a property invades or grows on adjoining or neighboring property that is owned or held on behalf of the Town of North Hempstead, the Town shall notify the property owner that bamboo has invaded Town property and that the property owner is responsible for the removal of such from the Town property. This notice shall be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, and by regular mail to the latest address of the property owner on file with the Town, and a copy of the notice shall also be left in a conspicuous location on the property owner's property within the Town.

B. 

In the event that a property owner who has been given notice subject to § 67-5A of this chapter does not remove the bamboo from the Town property within 30 days from the date the Town first deposited the notice with the United States Postal Service, then the Town, at its discretion, may remove or arrange for the removal of such bamboo from the Town property. The property owner shall be liable and responsible to the Town for the Town's costs in removing the bamboo from the Town property. Such costs may be assessed against the property as a tax payable in the event that the costs remain unpaid more than 30 days after the demand of payment has been made by the Town.
