Payment of waste fees

(a)

All payment of waste fees shall be payable in advance on or before the due date annually based on the method deemed most appropriate and cost effective by the city manager. In the event that payment of said waste fees is by check made payable to the city and said check is returned by the bank due to insufficient funds or any other reason not the fault of the bank or the city, a charge of $20.00 shall be added to the waste fee due to cover administrative costs incurred by the city. In addition, late charges and interest on past due accounts shall be charged as provided in this chapter.

(b)

The finance director shall give notice to the owner of the property at the owner's last known mailing address, as disclosed by city records or by the county tax rolls, or at the property's address, or upon any occupant thereof. If the address of the owner is unknown to the finance director, and if the property is unoccupied and the owner thereof has no agent or employee available for service of such notice, the posting of a notice upon such property by the finance director shall constitute and be sufficient notice to the owner thereof. All methods of giving notice as provided for herein are cumulative and independent of the other, and the finance director may use one or all of the same as the finance director may deem necessary.
