2. No owner or person whose service has been halted shall contract with a private <br />collector for the disposal of residential refuse or dispose of such refuse in any manner other than <br />self-disposal as provided in this section. <br /> 3. The owner or person who self-disposes of refuse shall maintain weekly receipts <br />from either the duly-approved landfill or the purchase of disposal bags as evidence of self- <br />disposal compliance, and said receipts shall reflect the disposal of a quantity of residential refuse <br />commensurate with a household of the size listed in the person’s corresponding occupancy <br />permit. Any person who fails to display such receipts on request, and any person displaying <br />receipts reflecting a quantity of refuse less than that associated with a household of the size listed <br />in the person’s occupancy permit, shall be presumed to be in violation of the self-disposal policy <br />and shall be subject to prosecution. Persons whose service has been halted shall be subject to <br />audit by the city to ensure compliance with this section. <br /> 4. An owner or person whose service has been halted shall self-dispose of yard waste <br />and recyclables as provided by the director of public works. <br /> 5. No owner whose service has been halted shall be entitled to resumption of service <br />until all sums due have been paid. Such person shall also be subject to an administrative fee <br />established by the director of finance to recoup the costs of reinstating the service and <br />redelivering the necessary refuse container(s), which fee shall be paid in advance of service <br />renewal. <br />8.12.240 Delinquent fees; special tax bill issued to person failing to pay bill. <br /> A. The director of finance may certify a special tax bill against the property served if <br />outstanding fees remain delinquent for at least 90 days following the date of service cut-off as <br />provided in Section 8.12.230. <br /> B. The director of finance shall prepare and certify the special tax bill against the property. <br />The bill shall identify the city as lienor, the enabling ordinance, the legal description of the <br />property assessed, the date of delinquency, and the amount of the assessment, including any <br />accrued penalty and a reasonable administrative charge to be determined by the director of <br />finance to reimburse the city for costs incurred in computing, making, certifying, and <br />administering the bill. The director may record the bill with the St. Louis County Recorder of <br />Deeds, in which case the cost of recording shall also be included in the assessment. <br /> C. The tax bill shall be a first lien on the property from the date of its issuance until paid. <br />It shall be prima facie evidence of the recitals therein contained and to its validity, and no mere <br />clerical error or informality in the same or in the proceedings leading up to the issuance thereof <br />shall be a defense thereto. Each special tax bill shall bear interest at a rate per annum determined <br />by the director of finance, but not to exceed the maximum rate permitted by law. <br /> <br />
