The Town Marshall shall keep an accurate account of the expenses incurred by the Town in cleaning and removing any volcanic ash from any property or structures. Then, the Marshal shall forthwith make a sworn statement of these expenses and submit them to the Town Treasurer. The Treasurer shall mail to the landowner, agent, lessee, or occupant, where known, a statement of the expenses. Such statement shall contain a notation that the expenses given are to be paid within thirty days of mailing the statement.

In the event payment of the expenses is not made within thirty days after notice of the same has been mailed, the Treasurer shall forward the claim to the Town Council. If the Council finds the claim to be proper and correct, it shall order the expenses paid from the current expense fund and the amount so paid become a tax on the property upon which the expenses were incurred. Also, upon such a finding, the Council shall cause the amount of the claim to be certified to the County Treasurer under the seal of the Town of Garfield by the Mayor and Clerk as other delinquent assessments of the Town are certified.
