A. An advance financed reimbursement shall be imposed on all intervening properties, at such time as an intervening property owner or agent, employee or independent contractor or the intervening property owner, utilizes the advance financed improvements.

B. Reimbursement Rate. The intervening property owner shall be liable for the advance financing reimbursement as set in the Advance financing resolution.

C. Collection. The advance financed reimbursement is immediately due and payable to the city by intervening property owners upon utilization of an advance financed public improvement. If connection is made or construction commenced without required city permits, then the advance financed reimbursement is immediately due and payable upon the earliest date that any such permit was required. No city permit of any kind for the intervening property shall be issued until the advance financed reimbursement is paid in full.

D. Public Hearing for Unpaid Advance Financed Reimbursement. Whenever the full advance financed reimbursement has not been paid and collected for any reason after it is due, the city manager shall report to the council the amount of the uncollected reimbursement, the legal description of the intervening property on which the reimbursement is due, the date upon which the reimbursement was due, and the intervening property owner’s name or names. The council shall then, by motion, set a public hearing date and direct the city manager to give notice of that hearing to each of the identified intervening property owners, together with a copy of the city manager’s report. If the council accepts or rejects the city manager’s report and determines that the advance financed reimbursement is due but has not been paid for whatever reason, the city may take any action including all legal or equitable means necessary to collect the unpaid amount. An unpaid advance financed reimbursement shall prohibit any issuance of permits by the city for the intervening property. (Ord. 4730 §9, 2000).
