C. A hearing shall be held on the matter by the City Council. Property owners with unpaid utility charges shall have the opportunity to object to the certification of unpaid charges to be collected as taxes are collected. If, after the hearing, the City Council finds that the amounts claimed as delinquent are actually due and unpaid and that there is no legal reason why the unpaid charges should not be certified for collection with taxes in accordance with this ordinance, the City may certify the unpaid charges to the county auditor for collection as other taxes are collected. D. For each certification sustained, the property owner shall have the following options after the hearing: (1) To pay the delinquent amount listed on the preliminary roll, but without additional interest after the hearing, within ten days of the hearing date. (2) To pay the certified delinquent amount after the hearing date, but before the county certification deadline, with interest at the rate set in the adopted rate schedule, accrued beginning on eleventh day following the hearing date through the date of payment. (3) To pay the certified charges as billed to them by Crow Wing County on their property tax statement with a collection term of one year. E. After the hearing, the certified roll, minus any payments, shall be delivered to Crow Wing County. 4. In addition to any procedures or penalties provided by this ordinance, if any person, firm or corporation fails to comply with any provision of this ordinance, the council or any city official designated by it may institute appropriate proceedings at law or at equity to procure payment and or enforce the provisions of this ordinance.
