SECTION 1. That the whole cost and apportionment of same, as hereinbefore set forth, is hereby assessed against all the real estate in said District, and to and upon each lot or tract of land within said District, and against such persons and in the portions and amounts which are severally hereinbefore set forth and described.

 

SECTION 2. That said assessments, together with all interest and penalties for default in payment thereof, and all cost of collecting same, shall from the time of final publication of this ordinance, constitute a perpetual lien against each lot of land herein described on a parity with the tax lien for General, State, County, City and School taxes, and no sale of such property to enforce any General, State, County, City or School tax or other lien shall extinguish the perpetual lien of such assessment.

 

SECTION 3. That said assessment shall be due and payable within thirty days after the final publication of this ordinance without demand; provided that all such assessments may, at the election of the owner, be paid in installments with interest as hereinafter provided. Failure to pay the whole assessment within the said period of thirty days shall be conclusively considered and held an election on the part of all persons interested, whether under disability or otherwise, to pay in such installments. All persons so electing to pay in installments shall be conclusively considered and held as consenting to said improvements, and such election shall be conclusively considered and held as a waiver of any and all rights to question the power and jurisdiction of the City to construct the improvements, the quality of the work, and the regularity or sufficiency of the proceedings, or the validity or correctness of the assessment.

 

SECTION 4. That in case of such election to pay in installments, the assessments shall be payable in ten equal annual installments of the principal, with interest upon unpaid installments payable annually at the rate prescribed under the bond issue. The first of said installments of said principal shall be due and payable on the lst day of May, 1963, and the remainder o said installments shall be due on the 28th day of February of each year thereafter until all of said installments are paid in full.

 

SECTION 5. That the failure to pay any installment, whether of principal or interest, as herein provided, when due, shall cause the whole unpaid principal to become due and payable immediately and the whole amount of the unpaid principal and accrued interest shall thereafter draw interest at the rate of eight per cent per annum until the day of sale, as by the law provided; but at any time prior to the day,of sale, the owner may pay the amount of such delinquent installment or installments, with interest at the rate prescribed by the bond issue, and all penalties accrued, and shall thereupon be restored to the right thereafter to pay in installments in the same manner as if default had not been suffered. The owner of any piece of real estate not in default as to any installments, may at any time pay the whole of the unpaid principal, with interest accrued.

 

SECTION 6. That payment may be made to the City Treasurer at any time within thirty days after the final publication of this ordinance, and an allowance of the six per cent added for the cost of collection and other incidentals and of interest from the date of payment to the 1st day of May, 1963, shall be made on all payments made during said period of thirty days.

 

SECTION 7. That monies remaining in the hands of the City Treasurer as the result of the operation and payments under Improvement District No. 59 after the retirement of all bonds and proper payment of monies owing by the District shall be retained by the Treasurer and shall be used thereafter for the purpose of further funding of past or subsequent improvement district which may be or become insolvent and for such other purposes as the City Council of the City of Grand Junction may from time to time direct.

 

SECTION 8. That all provisions of Ordinance No. 178 of the City of Grand Junction, as amended, being Chapter 81 of the 1953 Compiled Ordinances of the City of Grand Junction, Colorado, shall govern and be taken to be a part of this ordinance with respect to the creation of said Improvement District 59, the construction of the improvements therein, the apportionment and assessment of the cost thereof and the collection of such assessments.

 

SECTION 9. That this ordinance, after its introduction and first reading, shall be published once in full in the Daily Sentinel, the official newspaper of the City, at least ten days before its final passage, and after its final passage it shall be numbered and recorded in the City ordinance record, and a certificate of such adoption and publication shall be authenticated by the Certificate of the publisher and the signature of the President of the Council and the City Clerk, and shall be in full force and effect on and after the date of such final publication, except as otherwise by the Charter of the City of Grand Junction provided.

 

Introduced and read at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Grand Junction, Colorado, held on the 20th day of March, 1963.

 

Adopted and approved the 3rd day of April, A. D. 1963.
