The city clerk-treasurer is authorized to collect and receive from any owner or owners of any subdivision or subdivisions of any lot, tract or parcel of land upon which a local improvement assessment has been, or may be made, such portion of the assessment or assessments levied or to be levied against such lot, tract or parcel of land in the payment of the local improvement as the city engineer or the engineer of the LID shall certify to be chargeable to such subdivision or subdivisions, in accordance with the requirements and provisions of law, and the ordinances of the city in force at the time the original charge or assessment was made, together with a similar proportion of any penalties, interest or costs which have accrued; and, upon making such collection upon any such subdivision, the city clerk-treasurer give receipt for such certified proportion of the assessment as and for the assessment levied upon and due from the subdivision; provided, that the ordinance codified in this section and in Sections 3.04.120 through 3.04.130 shall not authorize the segregation of any assessment which has been delinquent for a period of two years or more, or in any case where it appears that such property as segregated is not sufficient security for the payment of the assessment. In such instance, the city clerk-treasurer shall determine such question of fact. No segregation of any assessment on unplatted lands or large platted tracts shall be made until a plat thereof has been furnished to the city engineer, or the engineer of the LID by the applicant for segregation showing that the proposed segregation of property will conform to the system of streets as platted in adjacent territory. In all such instances, the city clerk-treasurer or the engineer of the LID shall determine such question of fact. (Ord. 1337, §19, 1980; Ord. 1561, §4, 1980).
