(A) In the case of any such owner, agent, or occupant who shall not destroy or cause to be destroyed such noxious weeds, it shall be the duty of the Street Department of the village upon notice received of the authorized village official to destroy or cause to be destroyed such noxious weeds. The agents of the Street Department or other persons authorized by the village may enter upon the subdivided lands and shall destroy such noxious weeds by cutting with or without mechanical equipment, but so as not to damage the property or sidewalk adjacent thereto.
(B) In the event it is necessary for the village to so destroy such noxious weeds, all expenses incurred in such destruction shall be paid by the owner or owners of such land; provided, further, that the village shall have a lien on such lands for the amount of such expenses, which lien shall be added to the real estate tax assessment rolls for such lands, and which may be collected in the same manner in which real estate taxes are collected. Such expenses, when so collected, shall go into the General Fund of the village.
