[Adopted 12-27-2022 by Ord. No. 2022-3; amended in its entirety 6-12-2023 by Ord. No. 2023-3]
Interest will be assessed upon the unpaid claims at a rate of
10% per annum and added to the unpaid claims. The Township is permitted
to waive any interest on any unpaid claim when the Township or any
attorney and/or third-party collector collecting the unpaid claim
believes, in its discretion, that such amount is de minimis or that
the cost or burden of continuing collection outweighs the benefit
of collecting the interest.
The Township appoints Michelle R. Portnoff, Esquire, as Solicitor
for the limited purpose of collecting the unpaid claims and hereby
authorizes her, and all attorneys employed by Portnoff Law Associates,
Ltd., to sign any and all documents, including municipal claims and
liens, on behalf of the Township.
Should any section, paragraph, clause or phrase of this article
be declared unconstitutional or invalid by legislation or a court
of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this article shall not
be affected thereby, and shall remain in full force and effect.
All prior ordinances, resolutions and/or other official acts
or parts thereof inconsistent herewith are hereby repealed to the
extent of such inconsistencies.
This article shall take effect on the earliest date permitted
pursuant to applicable law.
