07(e) lets the City cut or destroy the growth with City employees or a hired contractor and bill the owner the labor/equipment cost plus a fifteen percent surcharge, or the contractor's cost plus the same surcharge. 07(f) runs through an ordinary-mail bill; if unpaid within thirty days, the Clerk of Council certifies the amount to the Medina County Auditor for the tax duplicate. 07(g) defines the responsible owner as whoever Medina County records list as the current owner. 99 additionally allows a fine of up to $100 per violation.
