§ 46-86. General authority.

(a)

The village council is authorized to impose an annual solid waste service assessment to fund all or any portion of the solid waste cost upon benefitted property at a rate of assessment based on the special benefit accruing to such property from the village's provision of solid waste collection and disposal services, facilities, or programs. All solid waste service assessments shall be imposed in conformity with the procedures set forth in this article.

(b)

The amount of the solid waste service assessment imposed in a fiscal year against a parcel of assessed property shall be determined pursuant to an apportionment methodology based upon a classification of property designed to provide a fair and reasonable apportionment of the solid waste cost among properties on a basis reasonably related to the special benefit provided by solid waste collection and disposal services, facilities, or programs funded with assessment proceeds.

(c)

Any unpaid or delinquent fees, charges, or assessments due the village for solid waste management and disposal services or facilities which are allocable to specific parcels of assessed property may be included in the annual solid waste service assessment for such parcels. In such an event, any existing lien on each affected parcel for unpaid or delinquent fees, charges, or assessments shall be supplanted by the lien resulting from the inclusion of such unpaid or delinquent fees, charges, or assessments in the amount of the solid waste service assessment.
