B. Whenever the limbs or branches of any tree or trees extend over streets or sidewalks contrary to the provisions herein so as to interfere with the lighting of the street from street lights or with the convenience of the public using said street or side-walk, the City Council may order the owner or occupant to cut or remove said obstructions within five days after having been served with notice stating that the city will remove said branches and charge the costs to the owner or occupant as a special assessment for improvements as herein provided if said notice is not complied with.
C. In the event the property owner is a non-resident of the county in which the property lies, the city shall, before levying any special assessment against that property, send a copy of any notice required by law to be published by means of certified mail, return receipt requested, to the last known address of the non-resident property owner, which shall be that address listed on the current tax rolls at the time such required notice was first published.
