other noxious matter that may be growing or located thereon. All said
growth or vegetation, except ornamental shrubs, bushes, trees and
any agricultural crop, which is in excess of twelve (12) inches in
height shall be considered a nuisance and in violation of this Section,
for the purposes of the provisions of Subsection (B) and Subsection
(C) of this Section.
B.
When any growth which violates Subsection (A) of this Section exists
on any lot, tract, parcel or other real property or upon any sidewalk
abutting thereon within the City, the City Administrator shall, if
he desires to avail the City of the remedies available under Subsection
(C) below, give individual notice of the violation to each owner or
agent of an owner of such property, said notice to contain the following
information: the growth which constitutes the violation of Subsection
(A), the street address or legal description of the property involved,
the names of all owners of the property, a demand to the owners for
compliance with the provisions of Subsection (A), that a hearing shall
be held by the City Administrator on said violation on a specified
date not earlier than four (4) days after the notice is given to every
owner or agent, the time and place of the hearing and that if the
City Administrator at the hearing declares the growth to constitute
a nuisance, the owner or agent has five (5) business days thereafter
to cut, destroy or remove the growth and if not done, the City may
do so and issue a special property tax bill for the cost of said work
which shall be a first lien on the real estate until paid, with interest
accruing on said bill at eight percent (8%) per annum. The notice
shall be given either by United States mail, mailed to the last known
address of each owner or agent as shown in the City tax records, other
City records, or otherwise, or by causing the notice to be personally
delivered to each owner or agent of an owner, or by a combination
of the two (2) methods of notice. The City Administrator may, but
is not required to, additionally publish once, in a newspaper of general
circulation in the City, a copy of the notice delivered or mailed
to each owner or agent of an owner. If publication is desired by the
City Administrator, the notice shall be published at least four (4)
days before the date of the hearing. If an owner owns more than one
(1) lot, tract or parcel of real property in violation of Subsection
(A), all of said property may be included in the notice to that owner
provided for in this Subsection. Compliance with the procedures set
forth in this Subsection and Subsection (C) of this Section shall
in no way be a prerequisite to prosecution for violation of Subsection
(D) of this Section.

Subsection (B) of this Section to cut, destroy or otherwise remove
the weeds, grass or deleterious unhealthful growths or other noxious

thereon in violation of Subsection (A) of this Section within four
(4) days from the delivery of said notice to the owners or agents
and, if the notice is published, within four (4) days from the date
of publication, the City Administrator shall thereafter, at the date,
time and place specified in the notice, hold a hearing thereon to
determine whether said growth constitutes a nuisance, and at said
hearing if the City Administrator does declare that said growth does
constitute a nuisance, the City Administrator shall order the same
abated within five (5) business days after the date of the hearing.
If said growth is not cut down, destroyed or otherwise removed within
five (5) business days after the date of the hearing, the City Administrator
shall thereafter have said growth cut down and removed by the City
and shall certify costs thereof to the City Clerk. The City Clerk
shall cause a special tax bill therefor against the said property
to be prepared and to be collected by the Collector, with other taxes
assessed against the property. The tax bill from the date of its issuance
shall be a first lien on the property until paid and shall be prima
facie evidence of the recitals therein and of its validity, and no
mere clerical error or informality in the same or in the proceedings
leading up to the issuance shall be a defense thereto. Each special
tax bill shall be issued by the City Clerk and delivered to the Collector
on or before the first (1st) day of June of each year. Such tax bills
if not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of eight percent
(8%) per annum.

No notice, hearing or other procedure specified in Subsection (B) and Subsection (C) of this Section shall be a prerequisite to prosecution for a violation of this Subsection. For every day after a beginning date that any said owner or said agent of any owner shall be in violation of this Subsection, said owner or agent shall be guilty of a separate offense and may be proceeded against as in the first instance in separate and further prosecutions.

The service charges for special or additional collection from each
residential, institutional, commercial, business, industrial or agricultural
establishment shall be as follows:

a.
For each additional collection of trash at a residential for curbside
collection, either in excess of the equivalent of two (2) 96-gallon
roll-carts or a requested additional collection on a day other than
regular weekly collection the charge of ten dollars and fifty-six
cents ($10.56) will be added to the monthly bill.
b.
For an additional collection of refuse from an institutional, commercial,
business, industrial establishment or in excess of their regular weekly
schedule a charge equal to one-third the regular monthly charge for
a single collection of trash in their category (e.g., commercial,
institutional) and size of container will be assessed (e.g., $17.56
for a commercial customer for one (1) pickup from a 2-cubic yard dumpster
or $99.43 for a fourth collection of trash from a commercial customer
that pays for three (3) collections per week of 4-cubic yard container).
Special collections of solid waste are only allowed in addition to
regular service or at the site of temporary water or electric service.
No commercial, business or industrial customer may elect to have special
solid waste collection service as its sole service. Trash set curbside
by residential customers more than forty-eight (48) hours ahead of
the regular trash collection day will be considered a request for
special collection service. Each customer is allowed one (1) bulky
item per week. Additional bulky items will be charged at ten dollars
and fifty-six cents ($10.56) per item.
c.
A service charge will be billed to residential customers for special
collection service in containers over two (2) cubic yards. They will
be charged a one-time charge of thirty-six dollars and thirty cents
($36.30) and a daily rental of zero dollar and sixty-six cents ($0.66)
per day, plus an additional charge will be added to the regular monthly
bill for disposal based on the content and container size as follows:

For additional special services that are requested and available by the City of Centralia Sanitation Department or the contractor hired by the City of Centralia, Missouri, for solid waste services that are described herein, the City will charge the actual cost of collection plus an administration fee of five dollars ($5.00) per service upon the approval of the City Administrator. No service per event or for the entire amount of service requested may exceed the authority of the City Administrator's authority under Section 2-48 of the Centralia City Code.
e.
The City Administrator is authorized to contract with commercial,
business and industrial establishments, directly adjacent to one another,
for rates less than the established rates contained in this fee schedule,
provided such customers jointly agree to the use of a single container
of two (2) cubic yards or more.
|
The average volume of solid waste collected from each institutional,
commercial, business, industrial and agricultural establishment each
week shall be calculated from time to time by the City Administrator,
as well as the number of collections from each establishment each
week. The City Administrator shall keep written records of his calculations
for each establishment. The service charges set forth above shall
be based on such calculations. The average volume of solid waste calculations
and the number of collections per week calculated for any establishment
may be adjusted by the City Administrator when in his judgment the
average volume of solid waste collected each week and/or the number
of collections per week have materially changed from the calculations
then currently in effect for that establishment. No adjustment calculation
shall take effect until at least thirty (30) days after written notice
has been provided to the establishment by the City Administrator of
the change in the calculation.
|
B.
Except as provided below, the service charges set forth in Subsection
(A) herein are hereby imposed upon the persons responsible for paying
the electric and/or water service for each dwelling unit, business
establishment or other improved real property in the City receiving
the solid waste collection and disposal service under the provisions
of this Chapter. When both electric service and water service are
provided to a dwelling unit, business establishment or other improved
real property and two different persons are responsible for payment
of the electric service and water service, the service charges set
forth in Subsection (A) shall be imposed upon the person who is the
occupant of the dwelling unit, business establishment or other improved
real property in the City receiving the said collection service.
C.
The collection service, and the service charges set forth in Subsection
(A) herein, shall be terminated upon presentation of satisfactory
proof to the City Administrator that the dwelling unit, business establishment
or other improved real property where service is being provided is
unoccupied and not in use. Collection service and service charges
shall be commenced upon later occupancy or use.
D.
The service charges for solid waste collection and disposal set forth in Subsection (A) herein shall be itemized separately and included on the electric and/or water service utility bill of each person responsible for the payment of said service charges. Service charges shall be payable to the department empowered to collect service charges imposed by the City. The service charges shall be due on the fifteenth (15th) day of the month the utility bill is delivered. Partial payment of the service charges shall not be accepted except by prior arrangement with the City Administrator and under extraordinary circumstances. If service charges are not paid on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of the month the service charges are due, a notice regarding the unpaid service charges shall be delivered to the person responsible for payment in the same manner that the City provides notice of delinquent water and electricity fees as provided in Section 26-112, and a penalty of five percent (5%) of the service charges due shall be added to the utility bill. The solid waste collection and disposal service shall be discontinued for the dwelling unit, business establishment or other improved real property concerned if said service charges and penalty are not then paid on or before the seventh (7th) working day after the day the notice is delivered, which fact shall be stated in the notice. The service shall not be reinstated until the full amount of the service charges and penalty have been paid, along with any bad check liabilities as provided in Subsection (E) herein.
E.
The provisions of Section 26-114 shall be followed concerning insufficient funds checks, drafts or orders. Further, a check, draft or order not honored as specified in Section 26-114 shall be considered a failure to pay solid waste service charges by the fifteenth (15th) day of the month and the provisions of this Section 13-13 on notice, penalties and discontinuance of service shall be followed if payment in cash is not made within two (2) days after the check, draft or order was not honored.
F.
The services established by the provisions of this Chapter are designed
as an integral part of the City's program of health and sanitation,
to be operated as an adjunct to the City's system for providing potable
water and the City's system for providing sewage disposal. The City
may enforce collection of service charges, penalties and bad check
liabilities by bringing proper legal action against the person responsible
for payment of said amounts, to recover any sums due plus a reasonable
attorney's fee to be fixed by the Court.
G.
The service charge for collection and disposal of solid waste from
voluntary customers not within the City shall be twice the charge
which would otherwise be applicable for collection and disposal of
solid waste, within the City.
[Ord. No. 1047 § 11, 8-20-1974]
Each and every occupant and person who deposits any solid waste
in any container provided for herein, or otherwise disposes of any

as of the time of placing the same in any container or otherwise relinquishing
actual physical possession thereof.
[Ord. No. 1047 § 9, 8-20-1974]

No other kind of solid waste or other items may be mixed with the
yard waste deposited in the compost area. Any of such persons also
may take out any yard waste from said compost area at no cost or charge,
during the hours said site is open. A person who does not desire to

keep yard waste on the person's property so long as such composting
or keeping of yard waste shall not be in violation of any provision
of the City Code, including Code provisions on nuisances.
