A. Duty Of Public Works Director: It shall be the duty of the Public Works Director to enforce the provisions of this chapter and for the purpose of enforcement, shall make frequent inspection of all of the lots and tracts of land within the City. Should the owner or occupant neglect or refuse to comply with the provisions of this chapter, the Public Works Director shall cause such necessary work to be done as he may deem necessary, when directed to do so by the Mayor, cause an itemized bill of the expense to be filed with the City Clerk-Treasurer, who will certify to same and collect such costs in the manner of other City taxes.

B. Nonpayment Of Property Assessments: Anytime the City is required, either through their employees, or to a contractor to resolve, remedy, or otherwise abate a condition in which the property owner is in violation of the City, the owner is billed for such repair, and the owner does not pay the bill within sixty (60) calendar days of the notice, failure to pay will be considered nonpayment. Nonpayment shall be a considered lien against the property, and is enforceable in the same manner as nonpayment of Property Taxes is enforced.
In the event the property owner who is billed objects or challenges to the amount of the bill, or any other issues related to the bill, they may request to be placed upon the agenda at a regularly scheduled City Council meeting at any time before the expiration of the sixty (60) day period.
