When any such person to whom notice, as aforesaid, has been given, and on or before the date of compliance on the notice, or within such further time as may have been granted by the council on appeal, fails, neglects or refuses to move from such property any or all litter, the clerk is authorized and directed to cause same to be removed and disposed of at the expense of the owner or person controlling such property. Upon completion of the work, the clerk shall prepare a verified statement of account of the actual cost of such removal or abatement, the date the work was completed, and the street address and the legal description of the property on which said work was done, including five percent for additional inspection and other incidental costs in connection therewith, and shall serve a duplicate copy of such verified statement upon the person owning or controlling such property in the manner prescribed in Section 10-4-2. The owner or person controlling such property shall have thirty days from the date of service upon him to appeal in writing to the council from the amount of the assessment as contained in the verified statement. If an appeal is not filed with the clerk within such thirty day period, then the amount of the assessment as determined by the manager shall become final and binding. If an appeal is taken, the council shall, at its next regular meeting, hear and determine the appeal and may affirm the amount of the assessment, modify the amount thereof, or determine that no assessment at all shall be made. The decision of the council shall be final and binding on all persons.
