3.128.020 Purpose.

The purpose of this chapter is to provide procedures under which the extra costs incurred by the city in providing additional maintenance service to public property may be charged as service fees to the owners of real property specially benefited by such additional maintenance service. The council finds and determines: A. That certain additional maintenance services to public property must be provided on an area-wide basis throughout defined geographical areas of the city in order to efficiently and effectively render said services; and B. That fairness to all taxpayers of the city requires that geographic areas specially benefitted from additional maintenance services provided by the city should be charged on an equitable basis for the provisions of such services through fees imposed and collected as provided by this chapter.
