(A) In case any work on private property is to be done by the owner as ordered by the Village Administrator under the provisions of this chapter and has not been performed as per the terms of the written notice, the Village Administrator shall cause the work to be done at the expense of the owner. The Village Administrator will obtain bids from two qualified tree companies and the Village Administrator shall choose the best bid. The Village Administrator, at the completion thereof, shall ascertain the total cost of the work and shall bill the same to the owner at his address, if it is known, otherwise to the owner in care of any person living upon or having charge of such premises. If the address of the owner or any person having charge of the premises is unknown and the premises are vacant, then the bill shall be presented by posting it in a conspicuous place upon such premises. The bill shall be payable by cash or check within 30 days from and after the date of its delivery or posting as the case may be.
(B) In computing the entire cost, if the work has been done by contract, 10% shall be added to the contract price as a reasonable overhead charge to pay for service of notice, inspection and other incidentals. If the work has been done by regular employees of the village, the entire cost shall be arrived at as follows:
(1) The time expended thereon by such employee shall be charged at a computed hourly rate determined by the employee's total compensation.
(2) Ten percent shall be added to the time cost so found as a reasonable overhead charge to pay for the cost of the village's equipment, service of notice, inspection, supervision and other incidentals.
