ORDINANCE NO. NS-1444 PAGE SIX (b) Multi-family residential buildings receiving bin service pursuant to subsection (a) shall be required to obtain such service in the amount of not less than one-half (1/2) of one (1) yard per dwelling unit per week. (c) In the event that the City Council determines that any specified area of the city containing several residential buildings receiving bin service has evidenced a need for more extensive collection service than is required by the minimum set by subsection (b) for sanitation or health reasons, the Council may impose higher collection service requirements upon the resi- dents of such buildings by resolution. SECTION 10: That the Santa Aha Municipal Code, is hereby amended by adding a section to be numbered 16-38, which said section reads as follows: Sec. 16-38 Service charges (a) Owners and occupants of any occupied parcel of real property in the City, as shown on the latest County assessment role, except any parcel receiving bin service exclusively, shall pay to the City a refuse collection service charge in such amounts, at such times, and in such manner as shall be established by resolution of the City Council. Such service charge is imposed to provide for the continuing availability of standard service, and shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms of said resolution regardless of actual use thereof or of any interruptions or delays in such service, except to the extent reductions or refunds may be specifically authorized or directed by the City Council. (b) For purposes of administrative convenience the City Council may establish billing units for pay- ment of the said service charge consisting of one or more occupancies within one or more parcels. (c) The said service charge shall be a civil debt owing to the City. In the event that owner and occupant are not the same, owner and occupant shall be jointly and severally liable for payment of such indebtedness. In addition to all other civil remedies for collection of such indebtedness, delinquent service charges shall be subject to special assessment and lien against property in the manner provided in sections 38790.1 and 25831 of the Government Code of the State of California. (d) Charges for bin service or for collection services more frequent or more extensive than that provided in this Article for standard service shall be paid directly to the City's refuse collection contractor in accordance with such regulations as shall be estab- lished by contract or resolution of the City Council. SECTION 11: If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or portion of this ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby declares that it would have adopted this ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or portion thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions be declared invalid or unconstitutional. -6-
