[Adopted as Secs. 8.06 and 9.07(B) of the former Municipal Code]
The owner or occupant of any lot or lands within the Village abutting upon a public street along the line of which sidewalk shall have been constructed shall, whenever such sidewalk shall become encumbered with snow or ice, clear the entire width of the same therefrom within 24 hours after the cessation of each storm. In case it is impossible or impractical to remove the ice and snow therefrom, the owner or occupant shall treat the same with sand, salt or some other substance continuously until removed so that such sidewalk will not be slippery or dangerous to pedestrians. In case of the failure of any such owner or occupant to remove snow and ice from the entire width of the sidewalk or to treat the ice as described above within the time aforesaid, if the Director of Public Works determines to do so, the expense of such removal or treatment shall become a special tax or charge against the property, to be collected in the manner hereinafter specified.

After clearing or treating any such sidewalk as provided in this section, the Director of Public Works shall file with the Village a written report containing a description of such lot or tract charged and the amount of expense chargeable to the same. The Clerk shall thereupon make out and mail to the owner of such lot or tract, at his last known address, an itemized statement of the cost, and when paid, the amount of bill shall be credited to the Village General Fund. If not paid within 30 days, such charges shall be placed on the tax roll pursuant to § 66.0627, Wis. Stats.
