At the request of one or more of the record owner(s) of private
property situate in the City of Fulton, the Commissioner of the Department
of Public Works may elect to remove snow and/or ice from such property.
Prior to commencing such removal, the record owner(s) shall
execute an agreement on a form prescribed by the City Attorney. Said
agreement shall provide for the per-hour charge to be assessed for
the removal, and said agreement shall also contain the following language:
If the stated consideration is not paid within 30 days after
invoicing by the city, the City may, by Common Council resolution,
institute civil action against the owner(s) and/or place a special
assessment on the premises effective on January 1 of the next succeeding
year, such special assessment to be assessed and collected in the
same manner as any and all other special assessments in the city.
The Common Council shall, at its regular meeting in December
of each and every year, pass a resolution charging a special assessment
against all property owner(s) who then have invoices that have been
unpaid for a period of 30 days or more. The special assessment shall
be placed on the City tax bill for the year next succeeding the adoption

This special assessment shall not apply to any privately owned

is offered to be paid. The decision as to whether or not to perform
the removal shall be vested solely in the Commissioner of the Department
of Public Works.
