[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 17, Village
Code and Ordinances, Art. I)]
B. As and
for a further penalty for any violation of this or any other provision
in the Municipal Code, the Village Board hereby empowers the Village
Manager or designee to, after providing notice in person or via United
States mail to the last known owner of the property at least two business
days in advance, perform such work on said property as is required
to render the property compliant with the Municipal Code. The reasonable
cost of such work shall be billed to the last known property owner
and such bill shall be due and payable within 15 days after it has
been mailed. Amounts due after said period of time shall be delinquent
and shall become a lien upon the property and may be placed on the
tax bill of the property in question as a special charge for current
services as provided in § 66.0627, Wis. Stats.
Whenever any person fails to pay any forfeiture and costs of
prosecution upon the order of the court for violation of any ordinance
of the Village, the court may, in lieu of ordering imprisonment of
the defendant, or after the defendant has been released from custody,
issue an execution against the property of the defendant for said
forfeiture and costs.
