The Village may also sue for a money judgment for any invoices which are past due. Furthermore, if an invoice becomes past due for more than 30 days, the Village may elect to terminate all staff review and to terminate the Village approval process on the application until all delinquent invoices are fully paid.

Billable time includes preparing reports and documents for the Village Plan Commission, Zoning Board of Appeals or the Village Board, and any other Village staff time expended to review or analyze the application, specific plans, plats, maps or development plans. Other charges included in the billable hours and costs are associated with:
(a) 
Preparing and publishing Village municipal code text and map amendments for the referenced application from the Village's consultant. (Note: Invoices from the Village's general e-code consultant are typically sent semiannually, which often results in a time delay in sending final invoices from the Village to the owner/applicant.);

The Village staff seeking expert advice in meetings and reviewing and preparing correspondence regarding the specific plans, plats, maps, development plans or project, such as, but not limited to the Village's Attorney, environmental consultant, or architectural consultant expertise; and
