12-17.43 Bond Plan D: Method of collection.

The special assessments levied pursuant to the provisions of Section 12-17.42 of this chapter shall be levied and collected upon the last equalized secured and utilized tax rolls upon which general City taxes are collected. Such special assessments shall be in addition to all other taxes levied for general City purposes and shall be levied, computed, entered, collected, and enforced in the same manner, by the same time, and with the same penalties and interest as are other taxes for City purposes, and all laws applicable to the levy, collection, and enforcement of taxes for City purposes are hereby made applicable to such special assessment levy, which shall be subject to redemption within one year from the date of sale in the same manner as such real property is redeemed from sales for general City taxes and, if not redeemed, shall in like manner pass to the purchaser.

(§ 1, Ord. 339 C-M, eff. November 7, 1974)

The district may be divided into as many zones (up to the total number of parcels of land in the district) as may be deemed necessary, and each zone shall be composed of and include all the lands within the district which will be benefited in like measure. The Council shall also determine the percentage of the sum to be raised each year by the levy and collection of the special assessment taxes in the district for the payments on the principal and interest of the bonds which will be raised from the lands in each zone. When the district is divided into such zones, the resolution of intention shall so state, giving such percentages to be raised from the lands in each zone. Each zone shall be designated by a different letter or number and shall be plainly shown on the map or plat of the assessment district filed in the office of the City Clerk and referred to in the resolution of intention, either by separate boundaries, coloring, or other convenient and graphic method, so that all persons interested may with accuracy ascertain within which zone any parcel of land is located. It shall be sufficient in all cases where the assessment district is to be divided into such zones according to benefits if the resolution of intention states that fact and refers to the plat or map for the boundaries and all details concerning the zones.

The Council may also order the issuance of new bonds when the Council shall determine the existence of such voidness, invalidity, or unenforceability. In such event, the Council shall cause a declaration to be filed which shall state the amount of any work performed, improvements made, or acquisitions had, and the expenses incidental thereto, and the estimated cost of any to be had.
