Re: Statement of Abatement Costs
Real Property: CA 92311-2733
San Bernardino County Assessor Parcel No. 0182-163-13-0000 Dear Ms.
On March 30, 2026, I served you with a Statement of Abatement Costs that totals $7,526.57. That document mentions enclosure Appendix [which includes
Attachment 1 (Public Works Itemization) and Attachment 2 (Attorney Fees)] that were inadvertently omitted. They are included with this letter.
You did not pay the foregoing sum to the city. Because the Appendix and Attachments 1 and 2 did not accompany the Statement of Abatement Costs, you are afforded an additional opportunity to contest the costs described therein. To do so, the City Clerk's Office (located at 220 East Mountain View St. Suite A, Barstow, CA 92311) must receive your written request for contesting the Statement of Abatement Costs within ten (10) calendar days of service of this letter.
The written request shall include the following information:
1. Name, address, telephone number and signature of each responsible party who is contesting the Statement of Abatement costs.
2. Address and description of the real property upon which the City abated a public nuisance.
Date of the Statement of Abatement Costs being appealed/contested
4. Description of the specific abatement costs being contested and a statement of the grounds for contest in sufficient detail to enable the City Council to understand the nature of controversy.

Please be further informed as follows:
Failure of the City Clerk to receive a timely request for contest constitutes a waiver of the right to contest the Statement of Abatement Costs. In this event, the Statement of Abatement Costs is final and binding, and the city may proceed to collect its abatement costs as stated herein in any manner allowed by law, which includes a special assessment or a nuisance abatement lien against the property.
If a timely request for contest is received by the city clerk, a hearing shall be set before the city council no later than 60 calendar days, and no sooner than ten calendar days, of receipt. A notice of the date, time and location of the hearing shall be served on all responsible parties who contested the statement of abatement costs by first class mail to the addresses stated on the request form at least ten calendar days prior to the hearing. Failure of a person requesting a contest to receive a properly addressed notice shall not invalidate any action or proceeding by the city pursuant to this chapter.
• Any request by an appellant to continue a hearing must be submitted to the city clerk in writing no later than five business days before the date scheduled for the hearing. The city council may continue a hearing for good cause; however, in no event may the hearing be continued for more than 45 calendar days without stipulation by all parties.
At the time and place fixed for receiving and considering the request to contest the Statement of Abatement Costs, the city council shall hear and pass upon the evidence submitted by city personnel, together with any objections or protests raised by responsible persons liable for said costs. Thereupon, the city council may make such revision, correction or modification to the statement as it may deem just, after which the statement, as it is submitted, or as revised, corrected or modified, shall be confirmed. The hearing may be continued from time to time for good cause.
The decision of the city council is final.
If you have any questions concerning the Statement of Abatement Costs or the attached Appendix and attachments, please contact me at 760) 255-5118 or by email ([email protected]).
Sincerely,
Cameron Dougharty, Code Compliance Officer
