(A) If the owner of any lot or premises shall fail to build any particular sidewalk, as described in the notice, and within the time and manner required thereby, the City Council shall direct the Superintendent of Streets, who may contract or hire the work done.
(B) After the work has been completed, the Superintendent shall file a statement of costs and expenses with the City Council, and the Council shall direct the City Clerk to send notice to the owner setting forth the premises affected, the basis for the assessment, the cost thereof and notify the owner that the costs and expenses must be paid within 30 days. If no payment is received within 30 days, the cost of construction or repair plus a charge for collection of 10% of the same shall be assessed against the property which is adjacent to or abuts the sidewalk. The city shall assess the costs, expenses, and collection fee upon the property abutting or adjacent to the sidewalks, and the assessment shall be a lien upon the property and shall be collected according to law in the same manner as other city taxes, including interest.
(C) The property owner may elect to pay his or her assessment at the rate of 20% per year over a period of five years. The installation payments, however, shall be subjected to an interest charge on the unpaid balance at the rate of 9% per annum.
