[Adopted 12-12-2007 by Ord. No. 112]
This Ordinance shall be known as the "Mount
Pleasant Township Streetlighting District Ordinance."
This chapter is adopted pursuant to the authority
of Article XX of the Second Class Township Code. The purpose of this
chapter is to provide lighting to various streetlighting districts
and to charge the cost thereof to the benefited landowners.
There is hereby established a streetlighting
district consisting of the Hickory Light District, the Southview Light
District, and Westland Light District. Each respective district shall
include properties within 350 feet of a streetlight.
There is hereby levied and imposed a uniform
annual assessment consisting of the annual costs of streetlighting
for each such lighting district. Said cost shall be assessed pro rata
against the benefited properties having frontage within 350 feet of
a streetlight. The amount of such assessment per property shall be
determined annually by the Board of Supervisors.
The annual assessment for streetlighting shall
be collected by the tax collector in the same manner as Township real
estate taxes are collected, and if such assessment is uncollected,
the same shall be a lien and shall be collectible in the same manner
as other municipal claims.
