(a) Upon a determination to assess costs incurred under this chapter, the City will submit an itemized invoice, by first class mail or personal service, to each responsible party. Such invoice shall be due and payable within 30 days after the date of mailing, and any amounts unpaid, including any previously imposed, shall pay a late payment fee equal to 1 1/2% per month. The City Council shall set from time to time a schedule of fees associated with the cost of hazardous materials response related to this chapter. Potential assessable costs include those listed in the schedule of fees, but are not limited to those costs identified on the schedule of fees.
(b) A determination not to assess costs pursuant to this chapter shall in no way limit, extinguish or constitute a defense to the liability of any responsible party to any third party.
(c) If the responsible party appeals assessable costs pursuant to Section 205A.06, such costs, if upheld in whole or in part, shall be due and payable 30 days from the date of determination of the appeal and late payment fees shall apply thereafter.
