A.
The
City of Pasadena Hills will cause to be mailed to the owner of each
residence, at his/her last known address, a bill for solid waste collection
and disposal services. The fees shall be due and payable within thirty
(30) days of mailing. In addition to any other penalties provided

a late payment fee of three dollars ($3.00) shall be assessed for
each month during which the fee remains unpaid.
B.
In
the event that a bill remains unpaid or delinquent and the City begins
the process of collecting such delinquent amounts, the owner shall
be responsible for all costs of collection, whether or not reduced
to judgment, including reasonable attorney fees for such collection
attempts. Such costs shall be billed to such owner in the same manner
as the original amounts were billed. In addition, the City may initiate
and pursue any action in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover
any unpaid fees, interest and penalties from any person liable therefore
and, in addition, shall recover the cost of such action, including
reasonable attorney fees.
C.
Any
unpaid or delinquent fees, interest, penalties and costs of collection,
whether or not reduced to judgment, shall constitute a lien against
the property for which the fee was originally assessed until the same
shall be fully satisfied. The City Clerk is authorized to take all
steps necessary to file and perfect such liens as may be required
or directed by the Board of Aldermen from time to time.
D.
In addition to any other penalties provided by law, if an owner fails to pay the fee assessed for service offered for such property, including any late payment fee subsequently imposed, within sixty (60) days of the date of mailing of the initial bill, said owner shall not be permitted to apply for or obtain any City dog license pursuant to Chapter 205 of the Municipal Code; any City motor vehicle license pursuant to Chapter 390 of the Municipal Code; any City certificate of occupancy pursuant to Chapter 405 of the Municipal Code; any City building permit or license pursuant to Chapter 500 of the Municipal Code; any City satellite dish permit pursuant to Chapter 510, Section 510.170 of the Municipal Code; or any City swimming pool permit pursuant to Chapter 515 of the Municipal Code, until the fees provided herein shall have been paid in full.

[R.O. 2009 §230.160; Ord. No. 434 §7, 4-13-1993]
Prosecution or conviction of any person under this Article shall

Hills for solid waste collection, hauling or disposal services which
may be available under law or other Articles, said remedies being
in addition to and not in lieu of prosecution or conviction for the
