Upon submission of the delinquent fee list to the Council, the Council may by resolution fix a date, time, and place for a public hearing thereon. The Clerk shall mail a written notice of such public hearing to the owner of each dog or cat which appears on such list by ordinary mail at least ten (10) days prior to the date fixed for such public hearing. The notice shall state the date, time, and place of such public hearing and shall advise the owner of each dog or cat which appears on such list that he or she may appear at such hearing and show cause why the delinquent fees shown thereon for each such dog or cat should not be paid. After such public hearing, the Council shall enforce such fees by any legal means permitted under this Code or release obligation for payment of fees if sufficient cause is shown for nonpayment.
