Due to an increase in maintenance-related fire service calls at properties within the city and pursuant to its authority to charge for fire services contained in M.S. §§ 366.011, 366.012 and 415.01, as they may be amended from time to time, the city may impose a service charge on a property owner for receiving maintenance-related fire services:
(A) Property owners receiving maintenance-related fire services shall be billed directly by the city fees established in the city’s fee schedule, which shall be used to offset the expenses in providing the services. If the property owner fails to pay the service charge within 20 days of the billing date, it will be considered delinquent and the city may send a notice of delinquency; and
(B) If a charge remains unpaid for more than 30 days after a written notice of delinquency, the city may certify the unpaid charge for collection with property taxes in accordance herewith.
