In the event of the default in the payment of any assessment by the owner of any parcel assessed, the City may, at its option, bring suit to collect the same, bring suit to enforce its lien against such parcel or refer the matter to the County Clerk and County Treasurer for the sale of such parcel for delinquent assessment in the same manner that parcels are sold in the County for delinquent taxes.
