(a) If the responsible party is unable to pay the entire assessment within thirty (30) days, the responsible party may request leave from the Hearing Officer to make payments over time. A written request under this Section shall be submitted to the Secretary before the expiration of the time for payment. No late fee shall be imposed pending the determination of such a request.
(b) A responsible party may object to an assessment imposed pursuant to Sec. 7-1-30 by filing a written notice of such objection with the City Manager within fifteen (15) days of the date of service of the notice of assessment. After reviewing the written objection and any written response filed by the City, the City Manager may reduce or cancel the assessment if they determine that the amount of the assessment is unreasonable or that extenuating circumstances regarding the ability to pay exist supporting the reduction or cancellation of the assessment. The City Manager shall not question the validity of the notice or violation or enforcement order in making the decision. The City Manager's decision is final and not appealable.
(c) At any time before a lien imposed under this Article is paid, the City Manager may cause any lien imposed under this Article to be canceled upon their determination that the lien was imposed in error, or in the interests of fairness. The City Manager shall not question the validity of the notice of violation or the enforcement order. The City Manager's decision is final and not appealable. (Ord. 453 § 1, 2024)
