A. Imposed: The owner or owners of each residence in the city shall pay a service charge for solid waste collection, which typically includes basic refuse and recycling services.
B. Late Charges: The city may impose late charges, interest, and costs of collection, including attorney fees, on any past due service charges or unpaid part thereof. Collection of said late charges may be effected through such action as the city may deem necessary, including, but not limited to, termination and disconnection of refuse and recycling and/or other service to delinquent residences, litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction for collection of penalties and charges provided for, and/or other methods as the city may deem appropriate from time to time.
C. Payment By Owner: The owner of the residence serviced is responsible for payment of the service charge and any other charges levied and imposed hereunder. An occupant or person in possession or control of a residence may pay the service charge and thereby cause a credit on the corresponding property. Payments made by occupants shall not relieve the property owner from responsibility for payment of any unpaid charges imposed hereunder.
D. Amount: The amount of the basic refuse and recycling service charge and all associated additional container charges, late charges and interest may be set and modified from time to time by resolution of the city council. (Ord. 1401, 9-24-2019)
