§ 13.28.110. Lien payment or property sale.

A.

No lien herein provided for shall be extinguished until the amount thereof together with costs and penalties accrued thereon is paid in full, or a valid deed of the property subject thereto is given by the city manager to the city, as hereinafter provided. Commencing in the 1st week in January and the 1st week in July of each year, the chief engineer of the Pasadena water department shall cause to be published for a period of 3 days in a daily newspaper, published and circulated in the city, a list of all such liens remaining due and unpaid on the 1st day of the month in which such publication is commenced. Such list shall contain the name of the owner of each parcel of property upon which there is due any assessment under this chapter or if the name of such owner does not appear in the book entitled "Assessments and Liens for Water Main Extensions," then the fact that such lien is entered against "unknown owner," a description of the property and the total amount necessary to satisfy each such lien, which shall include the proportion of the total cost of publishing the notice hereby required which one bears to the total number of liens so advertised. There shall be attached to said list a notice that unless each such lien is paid in full before 12 noon on the 1st Monday of the month next succeeding the month in which such list is published, five percent of the amount of each such lien shall be added thereto for delinquency, and that upon the Tuesday following the said Monday each parcel of property against which such lien remains unpaid will at the hour of 10 a.m., at the office of the Pasadena water department in the city of Pasadena, by operation of law and the declaration of the city manager, be sold to the city for the amount of such lien, advertising cost and delinquency penalty. At any time prior to the time fixed for such sale, any such lien shall be canceled upon the payment to the city of the amount thereof plus such advertising cost and delinquency penalty as shall have accrued pursuant to the terms of such notice. The city manager shall, at the time and place fixed in said notice, declare each such parcel of property upon which the lien, costs and penalties so advertised remain unpaid to be sold to the city of Pasadena. The chief engineer of the Pasadena water department shall enter in the record book the date of each of said sales, the amount for which sold, and that such sale was made to the city.

B.

The cost of advertising herein referred to shall be deemed to have accrued at noon on the 1st day of January and the 1st day of July preceding the time when such advertising is to be done pursuant to the terms hereof.
