All decisions of this committee shall be final, except maximum income limits for eligibility, which shall be approved by the City Council. (Ord. 91-39; Ord. 01-42; Ord. 11-19)

In order to secure assessment relief, the property owner shall execute an installment note for the repayment of the sum advanced with interest secured by a deed of trust to the property. The note and deed of trust shall provide for acceleration so that the entire outstanding balance shall become due and payable upon the death of the obligor or the sale or transfer of the property. It shall be further provided that if at any time the City determines that the obligor is financially able to pay the outstanding balance, or that the obligor has wilfully misrepresented their financial condition on their application, it may, upon sixty (60) days' notice, declare the entire balance due and payable. (Ord. 91-39; Ord. 01-42)
