the City, the City Clerk-Treasurer shall not be liable for such losses
as are defined by state law. The Clerk-Treasurer shall invest and
the interest arising therefrom shall be paid into the City treasury.
A. Payment of claims. In addition to and in lieu of the other methods
provided by statute for the payment of claims against the City, financial

thereon, after having determined that the following conditions have
been complied with:
(1) That funds are available therefor, pursuant to the budget approved
by the Council.
(2) That the item or service covered by such claim has been duly authorized
by the proper official, department head, board or commission.
(3) That the item or service has been actually supplied or rendered in
conformity with such authorization.

may require the submission of such proof and evidence to support the
foregoing as in his discretion he may deem necessary.
B. Public Finance and Personnel Committee to audit accounts.
(1) No account or demand against the City, except as provided in Subsection
C of this section, shall be paid until it has been passed upon by the Public Finance and Personnel Committee and an order drawn on the City Clerk-Treasurer therefor. Every such account shall be itemized and certified as provided in Subsection
A.
(2) After auditing, the Public Finance and Personnel Committee shall cause to be endorsed by the Clerk-Treasurer, on each account, the word "allowed" or "disallowed," as the fact is, adding the amount allowed or specifying the items or parts of the items disallowed. If the Common Council shall approve the same, it shall direct the Clerk-Treasurer to issue a City order for the amount of the claim approved. All money paid out of the City treasury shall be paid upon an order signed by the Mayor and countersigned by the Clerk-Treasurer, except that payments of regular wages or salaries shall be as provided in Subsection
C below. The minutes of the proceedings of the Council or a statement attached thereto shall show to whom, and for what purpose, every such account was allowed and the amount.

City officers and employees shall be paid by payroll, verified by
the proper City official, department head, board or commission and
filed with the Clerk-Treasurer in time for payment on the regular
pay day.

needed, pursuant to §§ 66.0603 and 219.05, Wis. Stats.
A. The City Clerk-Treasurer or his deputies shall not receive any money
into the treasury from any source except on account of taxes levied
and collected during the fiscal year for which they may then be serving
without giving a receipt therefor in the manner specified by the Common
Council.
B. Upon the payment of any money (except for taxes as herein provided),
the City Clerk-Treasurer shall make out a receipt in duplicate for
the money so received. The Clerk-Treasurer shall charge the amount
thereof to the treasury and credit the proper account. The payment
of the money to any receiving agent of the City or to the City or
to the Clerk-Treasurer shall be safeguarded in such manner as the
Common Council shall direct.
The Clerk-Treasurer is authorized to prepare a statement of
real property status form to be used to provide information often
requested for transfers of real property, such as the amount of outstanding
special assessments, amounts of taxes, outstanding water, electric,
and sewer bills, current water and sewer bills, contemplated improvements,
floodplain status, violations of the building and health codes and
similar information. Any such information sought shall be provided
to the person requesting it on said form. A minimum of 48 hours is
required for preparation of a statement of real property status. There
shall be a fee set by the Common Council for compiling such information.
Billings by the City may be paid within 30 days after billing
without interest. Thereafter, interest may be charged at the rate
of 1 1/2% per month or any fraction thereof, until the following
15th day of November. Bills not paid on or before the 15th day of
November shall have added to the total amount due 1 1/2% of said
charges and shall be entered on the tax roll as a special charge and

and its books and to assist the Clerk-Treasurer in the management

utilities, Fire Department and Ambulance Service. These auditors shall

to the City financial records of the office of the Clerk-Treasurer,
include the City Clerk-Treasurer's books, the City's public
utilities, Police Department records, and any other books of any boards,
commissions, officers or employees of the City handling City moneys.
No agent of the City having authority to employ labor or to
purchase materials, supplies or any other commodities may bind the
City or incur any indebtedness for which the City may become liable
without approval of the Council. Each such employment or purchase
order shall be drawn against a specific appropriation, the money for
which shall be available in the City treasury and not subject to any
prior labor claims or material purchase orders at the time when such
employment is negotiated or purchase order drawn. The City Clerk-Treasurer
shall keep a record of such employment and purchase orders and shall
charge them against the proper appropriation.

[Adopted 12-1-2003 by Ord. No. 2003-02 as Title 3, Ch. 2, of the 2003
Code]
A. The City of Glenwood City, by resolution of its Common Council, may
levy and collect special assessments upon property in a limited and
determinable area for special benefits conferred upon such property
by any municipal work or improvement and may provide for the payment
of all or any part of the cost of the work or improvement out of the
proceeds of the special assessments. In addition to other methods
approved by law, special assessments for any public work or improvement
or any special charge for current services may be levied in accordance
with the provisions of this article.
B. The amount assessed against any property for any work or improvement
which does not represent an exercise of the police power shall not
exceed the value of the benefits accruing to the property therefrom,
and for those representing an exercise of the police power, the assessment
shall be upon a reasonable basis as determined by the Common Council.
Unless otherwise determined by the Council, special assessments shall
be made as an exercise of the City's police powers.
C. The favored procedure in the City for proceeding with making specially
assessable public improvements as generally set forth in this article
is not intended in any way to disregard or to bar proceeding under
other methods provided by law for the making of public improvements
and for the levying of assessments therefor. Nor is this article intended
to be an exhaustive, detailed recodification of the state law under
§ 66.0703, Wis. Stats. Detailed requirements still require
reference to said statutory section and the subsections thereunder.
The purpose hereof is to generally define and establish local procedures.
A. Public improvements carried out pursuant to § 66.0703,
Wis. Stats., and this article shall be initiated by a preliminary
resolution presented to the Council by the City Engineer, which resolution
shall declare the Council's intention to exercise its assessment
powers for such municipal purpose(s); describe the same, the limits
of the proposed assessment district, and the number of installments
in which the special assessment may be paid or that the number of
installments will be determined at hearing thereon; and direct the
City Engineer to make a report thereon. After adoption of such preliminary
resolution by the Common Council, copies thereof shall be forwarded
by the City Clerk-Treasurer to the City Engineer. The City Clerk-Treasurer
shall forthwith, after adoption of such preliminary resolution, obtain
a list of the names and addresses of all interested persons, if with
reasonable diligence their names and addresses may be obtained, and
forward the same to the City Engineer. Upon receipt of a copy of such
preliminary resolution, the City Engineer shall prepare the report
thereon.
B. The report required by Subsection
A shall consist of:
(1) Preliminary or final plans and specifications.
(2) An estimate of the entire cost of the proposed work or improvement.
(3) An estimate, as to each parcel of property affected, of:
(a)
The assessment of benefits to be levied.
(b)
The damages to be awarded for property taken or damaged.
(c)
The net amount of such benefits over damages or the net amount
of such damages over benefits.
(4) A statement that the property against which the assessments are proposed is benefited, where the work or improvements constitute an exercise of the police power. In such case, the estimates required under Subsection
B(3) shall be replaced by a schedule of the proposed assessments.
C. A copy of the report when completed shall be filed with the City
Clerk-Treasurer for public inspection.
D. When the Common Council determines by resolution that the hearing on the assessments be held subsequent to the completion of the work or improvement or rendering of the service, the report required by § 66.0703(5), Wis. Stats., and Subsections
A and
B above shall contain a statement of the final cost of the work, service or improvement in lieu of an estimate of the cost.
The cost of any work or improvement to be paid in whole or in
part by special assessment on property may include the direct and
indirect cost thereof, the damages occasioned thereby, the interest
on bonds or notes issued in anticipation of the collection of the
assessments, a reasonable charge for the services of the administrative
staff of the City and the cost of any architectural, engineering and
legal services, and any other item of direct or indirect cost which
may reasonably be attributed to the proposed work or improvement.
The amount to be assessed against all property for any such proposed
work or improvement shall be apportioned among the individual parcels
in the manner designated by the Common Council.
A. If any property deemed benefited shall by reason of any provision
of law be exempt from assessment therefor, such assessment shall be
computed and shall paid by the City.
B. A parcel of land against which has been levied a special assessment
for the sanitary sewer or water main laid in one of the streets upon
which it abuts shall be entitled to such deduction or exemption as
the Common Council determines to be reasonable and just under the
circumstances of each case when a special assessment is levied for
the sanitary sewer or water main laid in the other street upon which
such corner lot abuts. Under any circumstances the assessment will
not be less than the long way of such lot. The Common Council may
allow a similar deduction or exemption from special assessments levied
for any other public improvement.
A. Notice requirements. On the completion and filing of the report and final resolution with the City Clerk-Treasurer required in §
55-17C of this article, the City Clerk-Treasurer or City Engineer shall prepare a notice of hearing, which notice shall comply with § 66.0703(7)(a), Wis. Stats., and state the lines of the proposed assessment district and the place and time at which the report may be inspected. In publishing the notice of hearing, the City Clerk-Treasurer shall set the place and time at which all interested persons, their agents or attorneys may appear before the Common Council or committee thereof and be heard concerning the matters contained in the preliminary resolution and report. The notice shall be published as a Class 1 notice under Ch. 985, Wis. Stats., and a copy of the notice shall be mailed, at least 10 days before the hearing or proceeding, to every interested person whose post office address is known or can be ascertained with reasonable diligence. The hearing shall commence not less than 10 days nor more than 40 days after publication.
B. Waiver of notice and hearing. The Council may, without any notice
or hearing, levy and assess the whole or any part of the cost of any
municipal work or improvement as a special assessment upon the property
specifically benefited thereby whenever notice and hearing thereon
are in writing waived by all the owners of property affected by such
special assessment. In such cases, the procedure shall be the same
as hereinbefore provided, except for the noticing and holding of a
public hearing thereon.
A. After the hearing, the Common Council may:
(1) Approve, disapprove, modify or re-refer the report to the City Engineer
with such directions as it deems necessary to change the plans and
specifications as to accomplish a fair and equitable assessment.
(2) Continue the public hearing, preliminarily approve plans and specifications
and, if the project requires advertising for bids, authorize and direct
the advertisement therefor with a date certain for consideration and
taking action thereon, inclusive of action on said report and action
on final resolution.
B. If an assessment is made against any property and an award of compensation
or damage is made in favor of the property, the Common Council shall
assess only the difference between such assessment of benefits and
the award of compensation or damage.
C. If the work or improvement has not been previously authorized or
approved, the Common Council shall approve the work or improvement
and by resolution direct that the same be done and paid for in accordance
with the report finally approved.
D. If the work or improvement has been approved by the Common Council
or work commenced or completed prior to the filing of the report or
prior to the hearing, then the Common Council shall be resolution
confirm the report as made or modified and provide for payment in
whole or in part by assessment.
E. The Clerk-Treasurer shall publish the final resolution as required in §
55-17 of this article.
F. After the publication of the final resolution, any work or improvement
provided for and not yet authorized shall be deemed duly and properly
made, subject to the right of appeal by § 66.0703(12), Wis.
Stats., or any other applicable provision of law.
G. As soon as the assessable cost of such work or improvement is finalized,
the City Clerk-Treasurer shall issue respective special assessment
certificates for each property affected and specifying the manner
in which payment is to be made and shall send a copy of the respective
assessment affecting each property to each owner's post office
address that is known or can be obtained with reasonable diligence.
If more than a single improvement is undertaken, the Common
Council may combine the assessments as a single assessment on each
property affected, except that the property owner may object to any
one or more of said improvements.
If, after completion or after the receipt of bids, the actual cost of any work or improvement is found to vary materially from the original estimate, or the assessment is void or invalid for any reason, or if the Common Council determines to reconsider an assessment, it is empowered, after giving notice as required in §
55-20, to amend, cancel or confirm any prior assessment, and notice of this amending, canceling or confirming shall be given by the Clerk-Treasurer as provided in §
55-21 of this article.
If the cost of the work or improvement is less than the assessment
levied, the Common Council without notice or hearing shall reduce
each assessment proportionately. If the assessment has been paid either
in part or in full, the City shall refund the property owner such
overpayment.
A. Any person against whose property a special assessment is levied
under this article may appeal therefrom in the manner prescribed by
§ 66.0703(12), Wis. Stats., as amended, within 40 days of
the date of the final determination of the Common Council.
B. Pursuant to § 66.0703(12)(f), Wis. Stats., it shall be
a condition to the maintenance of any appeal that any assessment appealed
shall be paid when due and payable; upon default in payment any such
appeal shall be dismissed.
A. Payment of special assessments.
(1) Without interest. Upon receipt of a copy of the special assessment
certificate, any person may pay the same in full, without interest,
if paid to the City Clerk-Treasurer within the grace period therein
allowed and as allowed in the final resolution.
(2) After grace period. If any special assessment, or any part thereof,
remains unpaid following the running of the grace period specified
for payment without interest, at time of preparation of the first
tax roll thereafter the same, together with interest computed thereon
at the interest rate established in said final resolution and in said
certificates computed from the date of levy (i.e., date of final resolution)
or the finalizing of assessable costs, whichever is later, shall be
entered in such tax roll in such manner as directed in said final
resolution and certificate; thereafter, if the same is payable in
installments, subsequent installments together with interest at said
rate computed on declining balance shall be entered in subsequent
tax rolls until fully paid. This provision is in no way intended to
prohibit the prepayment of the balance owing at any time on principal
together with interest to date of payment only.
B. Assessment a lien. Pursuant § 66.0703(13), Wis. Stats.,
any special assessment levied under this article shall be a lien on
the property against which it is levied on behalf of the City. The
Common Council shall provide for the collection of such assessments
and may establish penalties for payment after the due date. The Common
Council shall provide that all assessments not paid by the date specified
shall be extended upon the tax roll as a delinquent tax against the
property, and all proceedings in relation to the collection of such
delinquent taxes shall apply to such assessment, except as otherwise
provided by statute.
A. In addition to all other methods provided by law, special charges
for current services may be imposed by resolution by the Common Council
by allocating all or part of the cost of the service to the property
served. Such resolution shall set forth the property location, the
current service rendered by the City and the special charge therefor
or cost thereof. Such resolution for special charges may include snow
and ice removal, weed elimination, street sprinkling, oiling or tarring,
repair of sidewalks or curb and gutter, garbage and refuse disposal,
sewer and water service, tree care or removal or any other service
as defined in § 66.0627(1), Wis. Stats. The Common Council
may determine the manner of providing notice of a special charge.
Before a special charge for street tarring or the repair of sidewalks,
curbs or gutters may be imposed, the Common Council shall conduct
a hearing on whether the service in question will be funded in whole
or in part by a special charge. Notice of the hearing shall be given
as provided in § 66.0627(3)(b), Wis. Stats.
B. Special charges for current services shall not be payable in installments. If not paid within the period fixed by the Common Council in said resolution, such delinquent special charges, pursuant to §
55-26, shall become a lien on said property as of the date of such delinquency and shall automatically be extended upon the current or next tax roll as a delinquent tax against the property, as provided by § 66.0627, Wis. Stats., and all proceedings in relation to the collection, return and sale of property for delinquent real estate taxes shall apply to such special charges. Notice of special charges for current services need not be given except as required by § 66.0627, Wis. Stats., as amended.
C. Section
55-17A of this article shall not be applicable to proceedings under this section.
A. If any assessment or charge levied under this article is invalid
because such statutes are found to be unconstitutional, the Common
Council may thereafter reassess such assessment or charge pursuant
to the provisions of any applicable law.
B. Notwithstanding any other provision of law or this article or other
ordinance or resolution, it is specifically intended and provided
by this article that the City may levy special assessments for work
or improvement against the property benefited either before or after
the approval of the work plans and specifications, contracting for
the work or completing the work or improvement.
As an alternative to any other financing method, the Common
Council may provide for the payment of the initial cost of any public
improvement from the proceeds of special assessment B bonds issued
under § 66.0713(4), Wis. Stats. Special assessments to retire
such bonds and pay the interest thereon shall be levied under §§ 66.0701
and 66.0703, Wis. Stats., payable in such installments at a rate to
be determined by the Council based upon borrowed money rates at the
time of the special assessment.
[Added 2-14-2014 by Ord.
No. 2014-01]
A. In addition to other methods provided by law, special assessments
for any public work or improvement or any current service may be levied
in accordance with the provisions of this section. This section is
designed for projects costing $5,000 or less.
B. Whenever the Common Council shall determine that any public work
or improvement or any current service shall be financed in whole or
in part by special assessments levied under this section, it shall

before or after completion of the work or improvement, when the amount
of the assessments will be determined and levied, the number of annual
installments, if any, in which assessments may be paid, the rate of
interest to be charged on the unpaid balance, and the terms on which
any of the assessments may be deferred while no use of the improvement
is made in connection with the property.
C. The provisions of § 66.0703, Wis. Stats., shall apply to
special assessments levied under this section, except that, when the
Common Council determines by resolution that the hearing on the assessments
be held subsequent to the completion of the work or improvement or
the rendering of the service, the report required by § 66.0703(4),
Wis. Stats., shall contain a statement of the final cost of the work,
service or improvement in lieu of an estimate of the cost.
D. Notice of the time and place of the public hearing on any special
assessment proposed to be levied and notice of the final assessment
and terms of payment thereof shall be given in the manner prescribed
by § 66.0703(7) and (8)(d), Wis. Stats., unless waived in
writing as permitted by § 66.0703(7)(b), Wis. Stats.
E. When notice and hearing have been properly waived, the Common Council may proceed without notice and hearing to a final resolution directing that the work be paid for and any amounts due be assessed and levied per Subsection
B above.
F. Any special assessment levied under this section shall be a lien
against the property assessed from the date of the final resolution
of the Common Council determining the amount of the levy.

under this section may appeal therefrom in the manner prescribed by
§ 66.0703(12), Wis. Stats., within 40 days of the date of
