[Amended 9-15-2020 by Ord. No. 7653]
If the City removes and/or treats snow and/or ice, or causes
the removal and/or treatment of snow and/or ice through a contractor,
the City shall charge the property owner the following fees:
A. For the first hour of removal and/or treatment: $250.
B. For each additional hour or part thereof: $200.
Property subject to a lien for unpaid snow removal/treatment
charges shall be sold for nonpayment of the same, and proceeds of
such sale shall be applied to pay the charges after deducting costs,
as is the case with the foreclosure of statutory liens. Such foreclosures
shall be in equity in the name of the City. The City Attorney is hereby
authorized and directed to institute such proceedings, in the name
of the City, in any court having jurisdiction over such matters.
In addition to the charges and actions set forth in §§
451-5 and
451-6, any person violating any of the provisions of this chapter shall be fined as set forth in Chapter
248, Fines, for each offense. A separate offense shall be deemed committed each day during or on which a violation continues or occurs.
