[Adopted 10-21-2020 by Ord. No. 2632-20]
As used in this article, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
A state of emergency, as declared by the Governor, related
to severe weather.
A.
While it remains the responsibility of each property owner to remove
or cause for the removal of any trees or similarly large objects from
said property that may obstruct pedestrian and/or vehicular traffic,
in the event of an emergency weather event, the Borough of Roselle,
at the direction of the Borough Administrator or appropriate designee,
may undertake the removal of such tree or other large obstruction
which substantially impedes residents' ability to safely access
public or private roads and sidewalks.
B.
The cost of such removal shall be certified to the Borough Council
by the Superintendent of Public Works. The Borough Council shall examine
the certificate, and if found to be correct, shall cause the cost
to be billed to the owner of such a property for which the tree or
obstruction removal work has been performed by the Borough, as the
owner appears on the latest Borough tax records. Unless promptly paid,
such cost shall be charged against the premises and be added to and
be part of real estate taxes, and the amount so charged shall thereupon
become a lien and tax upon such real estate and be added to and be
part of the taxes next to be levied and assessed thereon, and enforced
and collected with interest by the Tax Collector in the same manner
as other taxes are assessed and collected in the Borough of Roselle.
