The Crescenta Valley Water District ("district"), or its successor in interest, shall determine the amount of the sewer charges ("charge") for properties located in the city of La Cañada Flintridge. These charges shall be derived on the same basis as the sewer maintenance and operational charge which district is assessing for other properties within the district, but outside of the boundaries of the city.
(Ord. 86 § 2, 1982)
Every person owning property within the city of La Cañada Flintridge and which is served with sanitary sewers maintained by the district shall pay the charges set by the district.
(Ord. 86 § 2, 1982)
If a property owner and/or resident of this city has not paid district the amount of the charges to that property, then on or before May 1st of each year, district shall provide the city clerk with a list of those properties which have not paid the charges, and a statement of the amount of said charge, including delinquent penalties and other proper assessed charges along with a summary of the district's efforts in collecting the charges and other amounts owing.
(Ord. 86 § 2, 1982)
A. 
The clerk shall then set the report for hearing before the city council and shall, not less than ten days prior to the date set for such hearing, serve a notice of assessment upon all of the owners of property affected, which notice shall specify the day, hour and place when the city council shall hear and pass upon the report together with any objections or protests thereto. Such service shall be made by certified mail addressed to the owner of the property at the address of the property and also to the address shown on the latest assessment roll. The failure of any such owner to receive notice of assessment shall not affect the power of the city or its officers or employees to proceed as provided in this chapter, nor shall it invalidate the assessment against the involved parcel or parcels.
B. 
Upon the date and hour fixed for the hearing, the city council shall hear and pass upon the report together with any objections or protests which may be raised by any of the owners of any property liable to be assessed for the charges and other costs. The city may confirm or reject the report. Before confirming the report, the city council may make revisions, corrections or modifications in the report as it deems just. The city council may adjourn the hearing from time to time. The decision of the city council on all protests and objections which may be made shall be final and conclusive.
C. 
Upon confirmation of the report, the city council shall adopt the resolution specifying the amount assessed against each lot, as shown on the latest available assessment roll in accordance with the report. Unless otherwise provided in such resolution, any such assessment, together with a charge to cover the expenses incurred by the city, in the amount of $25 per parcel, shall become due 30 days after adoption of such resolution and shall thereafter bear interest at the rate of seven percent per year. The city council may provide in the resolution for payment to become due at any later date, in total sum or in installments.
D. 
All assessments may be paid by tender of the amount due to the city treasurer. The city treasurer, prior to August 10th of each year, shall determine if any assessment or portion thereof is due or unpaid and if he or she so determines, he or she shall file with the county auditor his or her statement of the amount due specifying the property on which such amount is assessed, together with a certified copy of the assessment resolution. Such assessment shall be collected at the same time and in the same manner as ordinary municipal taxes are collected and shall be subject to the same penalties and the same procedure and sale in case of delinquency as provided for ordinary municipal taxes. All laws applicable to the levy, collection and enforcement of municipal taxes shall be applicable to such special assessment.
(Ord. 86 § 2, 1982)
The city treasurer shall pay over to the district moneys received pursuant to the provisions of this chapter, less moneys authorized to be retained by the city for the costs of collecting the charges.
(Ord. 86 § 2, 1982)
