§ 35.08 OBJECTION BY MAJORITY OF PROPERTY OWNERS.
   (A)   If at or prior to the meeting of the board of review the owners of more than ½ of the property to be assessed object in writing to the improvement, assessment shall not be made without an affirmative vote of five members of the Council.
(Ord. 148, passed 5-6-69)
§ 35.09 LIEN ON PROPERTY; DUE DATES OF ASSESSMENTS.
   (A)   All special assessments contained in any special assessment roll, including any part thereof to be paid in installments, shall from the date of confirmation of such roll constitute a lien upon the respective lots or parcels of land assessed and until paid shall be a charge against the respective owners of the several lots and parcels of land and a debt to the city from the persons to whom they are assessed. Such lien shall be of the same character and effect as the lien created by the City Charter for city taxes and shall include accrued interest and fees. No judgment or decree nor act of the Council vacating a special assessment shall destroy or impair the lien of the city upon the premises assessed for such amount of the assessment as may be equitably charged against the same or as by a regular mode of proceeding might be lawfully assessed thereon. All special assessments shall become due upon confirmation of the special assessment roll or in annual installments, not to exceed ten in number, as the Council may determine at the time of confirmation; or upon any other date the Council may prescribe, and the subsequent installments shall be spread upon the city tax roll. The second installment shall be collected as part of the first city tax roll which becomes due six months or more after the due date of the initial installment.
(Ord. 148, passed 5-6-69)
§ 35.10 COLLECTION BY CITY TREASURER.
   (A)   Whenever any special assessment roll shall be confirmed and be payable, the Council shall direct the City Clerk to transmit the assessment roll to the City Treasurer for collection. The City Treasurer shall mail statements of the several assessments to the respective owners of the several lots and parcels of land assessed, as indicated by the records of the City Assessor, stating the amount of the assessment and the manner in which it may be paid; provided, however, that failure to mail any such statement shall not invalidate the assessment or entitle the owner to an extension of time within which to pay the assessment.
(Ord. 148, passed 5-6-69)
§ 35.11 COLLECTION FEE.
   (A)   The whole or any part of any such assessment may be paid at any time after the day of confirmation of the special assessment roll until the tenth day of the second calendar month following such confirmation without interest or penalty.
   (B)   Each special assessment shall be collected by the City Treasurer with the same rights and remedies as provided in the Charter for the collection of taxes, except as otherwise herein provided. On the eleventh day of the second calendar month following the due date, the City Treasurer shall add to all assessments or installments paid on such day and thereafter a collection fee of 4% of the amount of the assessment or installment and on the eleventh day of each succeeding month he shall add an additional 0.5% as a collection fee. All collection fees shall belong to the city and be collectible in the same manner as the collection fee for city taxes.
   (C)   After the expiration of the period provided in division (A) of this section for payment without interest or fees, any installment may be discharged by paying the face amount thereof together with fees and interest thereon from the date of confirmation to the date of payment; provided, however, that if the public improvement has been financed by the sale of non-callable bonds or other evidences of indebtedness which are not prepayable, then the interest shall be computed from the date of confirmation to the date upon which such installment would have fallen due had it not been prepaid.
(Ord. 148, passed 5-6-69)
§ 35.12 ADDITIONAL ASSESSMENTS.
   (A)   Should the assessments on any special assessment roll, including the amount assessed to the city at large, prove insufficient for any reason to pay the cost of the improvement for which they were made, then the Council may make additional pro rata assessments to supply the deficiency against the city and the several lots and parcels of land in the same ratio as the original assessments, but the total amount assessed against any lot or parcel of land shall not exceed the value of the benefits received from the improvement.
(Ord. 148, passed 5-6-69)
