A. The amounts required to be remitted and/or paid by any operator under this Chapter with penalties and interest shall be satisfied first in any of the following cases:
1. Whenever the person is insolvent;
2. Whenever the person makes a voluntary assignment of his assets;
3. Whenever the estate of the person in the hands of executors, administrators, or heirs is insufficient to pay all the debts due from the deceased;
4. Whenever the estate and effects of an absconding, concealed or absent person required to pay any amount under this Chapter are levied upon by process law. This Chapter does not give the Town a preference over any recorded lien which attached prior to the date when the amounts required to be paid became a lien.
B. The preference given to the Town by this Section shall be subordinate to the preferences given to claims for personal services by California Code of Civil Procedure sections 1204 and 1206. (Ord. 94, 8-20-1998)
