The Council may order refunded all or part of an assessment paid pursuant to this chapter if it finds that all or part thereof was erroneously levied. No refund shall be made unless a written claim is filed with the City Clerk on or before December 10 of the tax year next following that in which the work resulting in the assessment was purportedly done. The claim shall be verified by the person who paid the assessment, or his or her guardian, executor or administrator, and shall set forth the basis for the claim. The Council shall hold a hearing with respect thereto at its next regular meeting scheduled at least ten (10) days after the filing of the claim, or at any adjourned session thereof, and claimant shall not be entitled to special notice thereof. The hearing may be continued from time to time. No refund shall be made of penalties or interest.
