The failure of any owner(s), or agent(s) of such owner(s), or tenant(s) of such owner(s), so notified under Section 958.10 to comply with such notice and/or order to pay lawful charges for waste collection and to secure the pick-up of solid waste generated at such lot or parcel of land within the prescribed time period is an offense that shall be punished by a fine of one hundred dollars ($100.00). Each day of noncompliance with such order is a separate offense, and the aforementioned fine shall be imposed for each offense. If, after such solid waste is removed, said owner(s), agent(s) of such owner(s), or tenant(s) of such owner(s) violates again Section 958.10 within the same calendar year and again fails to comply, all such subsequent offenses shall not require subsequent notices of violation within that same calendar year, shall be punished by a fine of not less than two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00) and not more than one thousand dollars ($1,000) and City forces shall be permitted to remove the accumulated solid waste at issue.
In addition, if City forces remove such solid waste, the City shall charge such owner(s) or agent(s) of such owner(s), or tenant(s), of such owner(s), a minimum fee of one hundred dollars ($100.00) and, in addition, shall charge a fee of one hundred dollars ($100.00) for every hour or portion of an hour beyond the first hour that City forces were used to remove such solid waste. Such fees shall be a debt due the City and may be collected by civil action in any court of competent jurisdiction in the County or elsewhere.
In addition, if the City removes solid waste in accordance with this article, the City Clerk is directed to include the name of each property owner(s), agent(s) of such owner(s), or tenant(s) of such owner(s), as well as the amount of the charge for the removal of said solid waste attributable to each such property owner(s), agent(s) of such owner(s), or tenant(s) of such owner(s) in a list to be published in The Clarksburg Exponent-Telegram at intervals to be determined by the City Manager.
