Legal Documents of Maryville

The director of engineering and public works may order the property owner, or his/her designee, to perform corrective actions to BMPs, water quality buffer areas or water quality volume reduction areas as necessary to properly maintain the full and intended function of the features for the purposes of water quality treatment, channel erosion protection, or water quality volume reduction, to ensure adherence to local performance standards, and ensure public safety. If the property owner, or his/her designee, fails to perform corrective actions, the city manager, or his/her designee, shall have the authority to order the corrective actions to be performed by the city or others. In such cases where a performance bond exists, the city shall utilize the bond to perform the corrective actions. In cases where a performance bond does not exist, or is not sufficient to perform the corrective actions, the city may perform such actions and the property owner shall reimburse the city for double its direct and related expenses. If the property owner fails to reimburse the city in accordance with this section, the City of Maryville is authorized to file a lien for said costs against the property and to enforce the lien by judicial foreclosure proceedings.
