If a responsible party fails or refuses to meet the requirements of the maintenance covenant, the city, after reasonable notice, may correct a violation of the design standards or maintenance needs by performing all necessary work to place the facility in proper working condition. In the event that the storm water management facility becomes a danger to public safety or public health, the city shall notify the party responsible for maintenance of the storm water management facility. Upon receipt of that notice, the responsible person shall have, at the discretion of the city, up to thirty (30) days to effect maintenance and repair of the facility in an approved manner dependent upon the nature of the repair. After proper notice, the city may assess the owner(s) of the facility for the cost of repair work and any penalties; and the cost of the work shall be a lien on the property, or prorated against the beneficial users of the property, and may be placed on the tax bill and collected as ordinary taxes by the county.
