A. The City Council by resolution shall establish a system of sewer user's service charges which shall provide that each parcel of property shall pay its proportionate share of the costs for operation, maintenance, repair and improvements of the City sewerage system.
B. Annually, before July 1, the City Engineer shall make and file with the City Clerk a report which sets forth the amount of money necessary to pay the sewerage system costs and the proportionate share of the cost for each parcel of property in the city.
C. The City Clerk shall mail written notice to each person, as disclosed by the last equalized assessment roll, owning property described in the report setting forth the sewer service charge for each person's property and the time and place a public hearing will be held by the City Council to consider objections and protests to the City Engineer's report. The notice shall be mailed at least ten days before the hearing.
D. At the conclusion of the hearing, the City Council shall allow or overrule any objections and modify the report if it is deemed necessary. By resolution the City Council shall then confirm the report and thereupon the charge against each parcel shall be a special assessment and lien on that parcel. The decision of the City Council as expressed in the resolution is final.
E. By resolution the City Council may enact additional regulations for further implementing the establishment and collection of the sewer user's service charge for the purpose of properly assessing each parcel of real property in the City its proportionate share of said costs, provided the City Council may by such resolution make provisions to avoid payment of the proportionate share by the Culver City Unified School District.
F. A certified copy of the resolution and report shall be filed with the County Auditor on or before August 10. The County Auditor shall enter each assessment on the County tax roll opposite the parcel of land. The assessment shall be collected at the time and in the manner of county property taxes and the laws relating to the levy collection and enforcement of County taxes apply to such special assessments.
