(A) If the owner, occupant or agent in charge of property falls to comply with a notice ordering removal of dead or infected trees, brush, wood, limbs or debris issued pursuant to § 30.11, the Council shall cause such trees, brush, wood, limbs or debris to be removed, and the costs of such removal assessed against the property.
(B) The authorized representative, employee or agent of the city removing such trees, brush, wood, limbs or debris shall file with the Clerk-Treasurer a written statement of the costs thereof, along with a description of the property from which the removal was made and the name of the owner, occupant or agent in charge of the property. The Clerk-Treasurer shall then give notice to the owner, occupant or agent in charge of the property, by certified mail, of the costs of removal. Such notice shall further state that the Council will hold a meeting at a specified date to be not less than ten days after the date of such notice. At the meeting, it will consider all written or oral objections to the costs of removal and the proposed assessment of that cost to the property. At such meeting, the Council, having heard all objections and made any necessary corrections in the costs and proposed assessments, shall levy and assess in accordance therewith, the costs of removal of such trees, brush, wood, limbs or debris to the property to which it is chargeable. Any and all such assessments, or any part thereof, which are not paid within 30 days after such levy, shall be certified to the County Auditor as a special assessment tax against such property and collected in the same manner as other taxes.
