(a) The Board of Trustees shall, by resolution, establish charges for collection service under this Article, prescribe the time and manner of payment of such charges and adopt measures designed to enforce the payment thereof that, in its discretion, are necessary or desirable. Such resolution, when adopted, shall be of the same force and effect as if incorporated in this Section.
(b) The amount of charges for garbage, rubbish, waste material and ashes collection service shall be a lien upon the property served until the same is paid. In case of failure to pay the established charges for garbage, rubbish, waste material and ashes collection service by the owner or person having the occupancy, control or management of any premises, within sixty (60) days after the time prescribed for payment of such charges by the Board of Trustees, the City Clerk shall cause a notice of such charge to be given to the owner of such property by publishing in a newspaper in the City, for two (2) successive weeks, a notice to such property owner of the amount of charges assessed against his or her property and that, if such charges are not paid within ten (10) days thereafter, the City Clerk shall certify such charges as assessed to the County Treasurer, to be placed by him or her on such tax list for the current year, to be collected in the same manner as other taxes are collected, with a ten-percent penalty to defray the cost of collection, as provided by state law.
