Any responsible party who receives an invoice for assessable costs shall have an opportunity to appeal to the Village Council to request a modification of assessable costs pursuant to the following procedure.
(A) A responsible party who desires to appear before the Village Council shall file a written request to appear before the Board with the Village Clerk within seven calendar days of the receipt of the invoice assessing the assessable costs. Upon receipt of such request, the Village Clerk shall place the claim of the responsible party on the agenda of the next regularly scheduled Village Council meeting, which meeting is at least 14 calendar days after the date on which the responsible party files the request to appear. Any filed requests to appear shall specifically identify and explain all reasons why the responsible party believes the assessable costs shall be modified. Any reason, basis or argument for modification of assessable costs not set forth in the request to appear shall be deemed waived by the responsible party. After a responsible party has been given an opportunity to appear before it, the Village Council shall promptly determine whether to confirm, modify or void the payment of assessable costs involved.
(B) Failure to timely file a written request to appear before the Village Council shall constitute a waiver of the responsible party’s right to appeal and shall further constitute the responsible party’s agreement to pay the assessable costs invoiced or as may have been modified, together with any late payment fee.
