§ 16-6. Billing, payment/appeals.

Following a response and/or services for which a party or parties are responsible to the city, the fire chief shall submit a detailed listing of all known expenses to the city clerk. The city clerk shall prepare and send a bill by first-class mail to the responsible party as soon as practicable thereafter. The responsible party shall make full payment within 30 days of the date of the mailing of the bill. Any additional expenses that become subsequently known following the transmittal of the bill shall be billed in the same manner as a supplemental bill and payable within 30 days of mailing thereafter. Where an incident involves more than one responsible party, all such parties shall be jointly and severally liable for the full amounts. For any amount due and owing and unpaid after 30 days of mailing, the city shall impose a late charge of one percent per month or fraction thereof.

Any person receiving a bill may appeal to the city commission, within the time limits for payment, and to what extent that individual is responsible for payment.
