(a) Purpose. The Village Board of the Village of Edgar has authorized at various times the using of the Village of Edgar's professional staff or consultants to help various private parties resolve issues involving street and highway access questions, property line disputes, non-zoning or non-land division matters concerning property and other matters of concern to property owners and residents in the Village of Edgar. While it may be in the public interest to assist property owners and residents with such matters, it is not equitable for the other taxpayers in the Village to have to absorb these professional fees where the fees were incurred to benefit specific land owners or private parties.
(b) Fees of Village Professionals Charged Back. Whenever either the Village Board, Village Administrator-Clerk-Treasurer or other Village official has authorized a property owner in the Village of Edgar or private party to contact the Village Attorney, Village Engineer or any other of the Village's professional staff or the Village Board, Village Administrator-Clerk-Treasurer, or other Village official contacts said Village Attorney, Village Engineer or any of the Village's professional staff or a property owner contacts the Village Attorney, Village Engineer or any other of the Village's professional staff, if said contact results in a charge to the Village of Edgar for that professional's time and services and said service is not a service supplied to the Village of Edgar as a whole, then and in that event the Village Administrator-Clerk-Treasurer shall, pursuant to the provisions of Sec. 66.0627, Wis. Stats., charge that service to said property owner for the fees incurred by the Village of Edgar.
(c) Property Owner Allowed Time to Pay.
(1) The Village Administrator-Clerk-Treasurer shall give each property owner or private party billed for professional or current services as provided for herein a period of time not to exceed thirty (30) days to pay and thereafter if that charge remains unpaid, the Village Administrator-Clerk-Treasurer shall charge that delinquent bill against the current or next tax roll as a special charge or delinquent tax against the property as provided by law. In the event the statement rendered to the property owner or the time given for the property owner to pay is too late in the current year for the charge, when it becomes delinquent, to be extended on that year's tax roll, then the delinquent charge shall be extended to the following year's tax roll.
(2) In the alternative, the Village may require pre-payment for such professional assistance.
(3) Applicants for a land division under Title 14 of this Code of Ordinances shall comply with the escrow account requirements therein regarding the cost of the Village's professionals and consultants involved in reviews and inspections associated with the land division.
(d) Fees Charged for Permits Issued to Municipalities, Agencies or Other Governmental Organizations. Whenever it is requested that the Village of Edgar grant approvals to any other municipality, agency or other governmental body and that permit process requires the assistance of the professional staff of the Village of Edgar, those fees shall be charged back to the municipality, agency or governmental body seeking the permit.
