All utility service charges shall be payable upon presentation date at the Office of the City Water Collector in the City Hall and shall be delinquent on the twenty fifth day of the calendar month following the date of presentment.

2. Liability: The owner or owners of any parcel of real property, together with any and all occupants of such real property, shall be jointly liable for all charges incurred by reason of the use of said waste and refuse pick-up service by any and all occupants of such real property.

3. Discontinued: In the event a utility bill is not paid on or before the tenth day after the bill becomes delinquent, the refuse service shall be discontinued. On the eleventh day after the bill becomes delinquent the fees of twenty five dollars ($25.00), in addition to the amount of the utility bill, shall be charged.

Protests will be addressed to the Director of Finance, must be in writing, and must state the reasons why the charges are believed to be incorrect. The Director of Finance will analyze the facts of the case and is authorized to make such adjustments in the charges as may be necessary to effect an equitable settlement.

a. At the time the fees become delinquent and until such time they are fully paid, the delinquent account balance, including late charges, shall constitute an unrecorded lien against the property and, as such, may be identified during a title search. For commercial businesses, delinquent account balances, including late charges, may be considered an unrecorded lien against the business name and/or owner of the business.

b. Once a year there may be prepared a report of delinquent fees including late charges. The City Council shall fix a time, date and place for hearing the report and receive any objections or protests thereto.

The City Council may make revisions or corrections to the report as it deems just, after which, by resolution, the report shall be confirmed.

e. The delinquent fees set forth in the report as confirmed shall constitute special assessments against the respective parcels of land and are a lien on the property for the amount of such delinquent fees, including late charges. A certified copy of the resolution confirming the assessments shall be filed with the County Recorder and the County Auditor- Controller/Tax Collector for the amounts of the assessments against the respective parcels as they appear on the current assessment roll. The lien created attaches upon filing. The assessments shall be collected at the same time and in the same manner as other Property Taxes and shall be subject to the same penalties and the same procedure and sale in case of delinquency as provided for such taxes. All laws applicable to the levy, collection and enforcement of Property Taxes shall be applicable to such assessments. However, if, for the first year for which the charges are prescribed, the property served by the City has been transferred or conveyed to a bona fide purchaser for value, and attached thereon, prior to the date on which the first installment of County taxes would become delinquent, the charge will not result in a lien against the real property, but shall become transferred to the unsecured roll for collection.

f. In addition to, or alternatively to, imposing a lien, the City may file an action for the collection of any amounts due and unpaid against the owner, tenant, lessee or other occupants or persons in possession, charge or control of any place in or from which refuse is created, accumulated or produced. In any such action, the delinquent balances may also be processed through a collection agency.

C. Application Of Funds Received: Any payment received for City utility charges in an amount less than the total charge billed shall be treated as a partial payment for each such charge and the amount received allocated to the separate departments in the same ratio as each such charge bears to the whole of the bill.

D. Vacant Premises; Refunds: Whenever the premises for which collection and disposal service is provided is vacant or unused for a period of thirty (30) days or more, the person to whom the collection charge is made may secure a rebate of his refuse collection service charges for said period of vacancy by presenting to the Director of Public Works an affidavit setting forth all the facts of the vacancy under penalty of perjury. If satisfied with the truth of the statements of vacancy, the Director of Public Works shall approve said claim and the Finance Department shall make the appropriate refund of such charges. No charge shall be made for newly constructed premises until the same is occupied; provided, however, that a person shall be conclusively presumed to be using refuse collection and disposal service when the premises is connected to the City water or sewer system.

F. Factors Considered in Determining Penalty Amount: The following factors shall be used to determine the amount of the penalty for each violation within the appropriate penalty amount range:

• 1. The nature, circumstances, and severity of the violation(s).
• 2. The violator's ability to pay.
• 3. The willfulness of the violator's misconduct.
• 4. Whether the violator took measures to avoid or mitigate violations of this chapter.
• 5. Evidence of any economic benefit resulting from the violation(s).
• 6. The deterrent effect of the penalty on the violator.
• 7. Whether the violation(s) were due to conditions outside the control of the violator.

G. Compliance Deadline Extension Considerations: The Jurisdiction may extend the compliance deadlines set forth in a Notice of Violation issued in accordance with Section 4-1A-15 if it finds that there are extenuating circumstances beyond the control of the respondent that make compliance within the deadlines impracticable, including the following:

1. Acts of God such as earthquakes, wildfires, flooding, and other emergencies or natural disasters;

2. Delays in obtaining discretionary permits or other government agency approvals; or,

3. Deficiencies in Organic Waste recycling infrastructure or Edible Food Recovery capacity and the Jurisdiction is under a corrective action plan with CalRecycle pursuant to 14 CCR Section 18996.2 due to those deficiencies.

H. Appeals Process: Persons receiving an administrative citation containing a penalty for an uncorrected violation may request a hearing to appeal the citation. A hearing will be held only if it is requested within the time prescribed and consistent with Jurisdiction's procedures in the Jurisdiction's codes for appeals of administrative citations. Evidence may be presented at the hearing. The Jurisdiction will appoint a hearing officer who shall conduct the hearing and issue a final written order.

I. Education Period for Non-Compliance: Beginning January 1, 2022 and through December 31, 2023, Jurisdiction will conduct Inspections, Remote Monitoring, Route Reviews or waste evaluations, and Compliance Reviews, depending upon the type of regulated entity, to determine compliance, and if Jurisdiction determines that Organic Waste Generator, Self-Hauler, hauler, Tier One Commercial Edible Food Generator, Food Recovery Organization, Food Recovery Service, or other entity is not in compliance, it shall provide educational materials to the entity describing its obligations under this article and a notice that compliance is required by January 1, 2022, and that violations may be subject to administrative civil penalties starting on January 1, 2024.

J. Civil Penalties for Non-Compliance: Beginning January 1, 2024, if the Jurisdiction determines that an Organic Waste Generator, Self-Hauler, hauler, Tier One or Tier Two Commercial Edible Food Generator, Food Recovery Organization, Food Recovery Service, or other entity is not in compliance with this article, it shall document the noncompliance or violation, issue a Notice of Violation, and take Enforcement Action pursuant to Section 4-1A-15, as needed.
