(A) Whenever the village shall enter upon any lot or parcel of land in order to accomplish abatement of an existing violation, pursuant to provisions of this subchapter, the Village Department of Public Works Director is hereby authorized and directed to keep an accurate account of all expenses incurred, and, based upon these expenses, to issue a certificate determining and certifying the reasonable cost involved for the work with respect to each parcel of property.
(B) Within ten days after receipt of the certificate, the Village Treasurer shall forward a statement of the total charges assessed on each parcel of property to the person as shown by the last current tax roll and the assessment shall be payable to the Village Treasurer within 30 days from the date the statement was forwarded.
(C) The Treasurer at the end of each quarter shall report to the Village Council all sums so owing to the village and which have not been paid within 30 days after the mailing of the bill theretofore. The Council shall, at such times as it may deem advisable direct the Treasurer to prepare a special assessment roll covering all the charges reported to it. The roll shall be filed with the Clerk who shall advise the Council of the filing of the roll, and the Council shall thereupon set a date for the hearing of objections to the assessment roll. The assessment roll shall be open to public inspection for a period of seven days before the Council shall meet to review the roll and hear complaints. The Village Clerk shall give notice in advance by publication of the opening of the roll to public inspection and of the meeting of the Council to hear complaints and shall also give like notice to the owners of and persons having an interest in property affected by first class mail at their addresses as shown on the last tax roll of the village, at least ten full days prior to the date of the hearing. The special assessments and all interest and charge's thereon, shall, from the date of confirmation of the roll, be and remain a lien upon the property assessed, of the same character and effect as a lien created by general law for state and county taxes until paid. The same penalty and interest shall be paid on the assessments, when delinquent from the date after confirmation as shall be fixed by the Council, as are provided by the Village Charter to be paid on delinquent general village taxes and the assessments, with penalties and interest, shall be added by the Treasurer to the next general Village Tax Roll and shall thereafter, be collected and returned in the same manner as general village taxes.
