§ 617.82 AGREED ABATEMENT PLANS; TEMPORARY ORDER.

(a) If the recipient of a notice under section 617.81, subdivision 4 , either abates the conduct constituting the nuisance or enters into an agreed abatement plan within 30 days of service of the notice and complies with the agreement within the stipulated time period, the prosecuting attorney may not file a nuisance action on the specified property regarding the nuisance activity described in the notice.

(b) If the recipient fails to comply with the agreed abatement plan, the prosecuting attorney may initiate a complaint for relief in the district court consistent with paragraph (c).

(c) Whenever a prosecuting attorney has cause to believe that a nuisance described in section 617.81, subdivision 2 , exists within the jurisdiction the attorney serves, the prosecuting attorney may by verified petition seek a temporary injunction in district court in the county in which the alleged public nuisance exists, provided that at least 30 days have expired since service of the notice required under section 617.81, subdivision 4 . No temporary injunction may be issued without a prior show cause notice of hearing to the respondents named in the petition and an opportunity for the respondents to be heard. Upon proof of a nuisance described in section 617.81, subdivision 2 , the court shall issue a temporary injunction. Any temporary injunction issued must describe the conduct to be enjoined.
