(b) The Village Fiscal Officer shall thereafter have authority to take all other action necessary to perfect such lien and collect those amounts due. Further, upon the receipt of payment for the entirety of the amounts due, the Village Fiscal Officer shall have authority to take any action necessary to release or discharge such lien.
