A. The governing authorities of the parishes of Pointe Coupee, St. Charles, St. John the Baptist, and St. Landry may amend ordinances to compel property owners to cut grass and obnoxious weeds on their property without the notice required in R.S. 33:1236(21)(a)(i) if the property owner liable has been notified pursuant to that Item at any time during the immediately preceding twelve months and has failed to do the work himself after an opportunity to do so.
B. Prior to undertaking such work, the governing authority shall file and record an affidavit, signed by the parish president or his designee, at its administrative office. Such affidavit shall include the following:
(1) A description of the property sufficient for reasonable identification.
(2) A photograph of the property sufficient to reasonably identify the unsafe or unsanitary condition and to justify the necessity for cutting, destroying, or removing weeds, grass, or other noxious growths.
(3) A statement that the property owner liable has within the past twelve months failed to do such work after notification and opportunity to do so pursuant to R.S. 33:1236(21)(a)(i).
