In any case where an ordinance authorizing a local improvement so provides, the collection of payment of any or all Local Improvement District assessments payable by economically disadvantaged persons may be deferred for a period of time not extending past the latest maturity date of any Local Improvement District bonds issued to pay the cost of such improvement.
(Ord. 1308 § 1, 1980)
Applicants for deferral of payments hereunder may be property owners or other persons who, under the terms of a recorded contract of purchase, recorded mortgage, recorded deed of trust, or recorded lease are responsible under penalty of forfeiture, foreclosure or default as between vendor/vendee, mortgagor/mortgagee, trustor/trustee, and grantee, and beneficiary and lender, or lessor and lessee for the payment of Local Improvement District assessments.
(Ord. 1308 § 2, 1980)
Any applicant for deferral of payment hereunder must qualify as economically disadvantaged. For the purposes of this article, a person shall be deemed to be economically disadvantaged if such person meets the qualifications of the definition as "Low and Moderate Income Families in the State of Washington", as defined by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development from time to time.
(Ord. 1308 § 3, 1980)
All applications for deferral of payments hereunder shall be made to the City Manager upon such forms as he may prescribe, and the City Manager shall make all determinations as to eligibility. In the event any person is aggrieved by any decision of the City Manager hereunder, he may appeal such decision by notice in writing to the City Council, which shall hear and finally determine such appeal upon reasonable notice to the appellant.
(Ord. 1308 § 4, 1980)
Nothing under this article shall be deemed to forgive payment of any Local Improvement District assessments which, in any event, shall be due, delinquent (inclusive of principal and all accrued interest) upon the latest maturity date of any bond issued in payment of the cost of the improvement. Any delinquent local assessments may be foreclosed in the manner provided by law.
(Ord. 1308 § 5, 1980)
