<br />EXHIBIT A <br /> <br />5. Any owner whose service has been halted shall not be <br />entitled to resumption of service until all sums due have been paid. Such <br />person shall also be subject to an administrative fee established by the <br />director of finance to recoup the costs of reinstating the service and <br />redelivering the necessary solid waste container(s), which fee shall be paid <br />in advance of service reinstatement. <br /> <br />8.12.240 <br /> <br />Delinquent fees; special tax bill issued to person failing to pay bill. <br /> <br />A. The director of finance may certify a special tax bill against <br />the property served if outstanding fees remain delinquent for at least 90 <br />days following the date that service is halted as provided in Section <br />8.12.230. <br /> <br />B. The director of finance shall prepare and certify the special tax <br />bill against the property. The bill shall identify the city as lien holder" the <br />enabling ordinance, the legal description of the property assessed, the date <br />of delinquency, and the amount of the assessment, including any accrued <br />penalty and a reasonable administrative charge to be determined by the <br />director of finance to reimburse the city for costs incurred in computing, <br />making, certifying, and administering the bill. The director may record the <br />bill with the St. Louis County Recorder of Deeds, in which case the cost of <br />recording shall also be included in the assessment. <br /> <br />C. The tax bill shall be a first lien on the property from the date <br />of its issuance until paid. It shall be prima facie evidence of the recitals <br />therein contained and to its validity, and no mere clerical error or <br />informality in the same or in the proceedings leading up to the issuance <br />thereof shall be a defense thereto. Each special tax bill shall bear interest at <br />a rate per annum determined by the director of finance, but not to exceed the <br />maximum rate permitted by law. <br /> <br />8.12.250 <br /> <br />Collections and foreclosure authorized. <br /> <br />If fees remain delinquent 60 days following the certification of a <br />special tax bill, the director of finance shall refer the matter to the city <br />attorney for collection, including, if deemed necessary by the city attorney, <br />the initiation of foreclosure proceedings. The delinquent party shall be liable <br />to the city for all reasonable costs and attorney fees incurred. <br /> <br />16 <br />
