NOW THEREFORE: BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS, THAT: I. Said hearing be, and the same is hereby, closed and the said protest and objections, and any and all other protests and objections, whether herein enumerated or not, be and the same are hereby, overruled. II. The City Council, from the evidence, finds that the assessments herein levied should be made and levied against the respective parcels of property abutting upon the said portions of streets, avenues and public places and against the owners of such property , and that such assessments and charges are right and proper and are substantially in proportion to the benefits to the respective parcels of property by means of the improvements in the unit for which such assessments are levied, and establish substantial justice and equality and uniformity between the respective owners of the respective properties, and between all parties concerned, considering the benefits received and burdens imposed, and further finds that in each case the abutt- ing property assessed is especially benefited in enhanced value to the said property by means of the said improvements in the unit upon which the par- ticular property abuts and for which assessment is levied and charge made, in a sum in excess of the said assessment and charge made against the same by this ordinance, and further finds that the apportionment of the cost of the improvements is in accordance with the law in force in this City, and the proceedings of the City heretofore had with reference to said improve- ments, and is in all respects valid and regular. III. There shall be, and is hereby, levied and assessed against the parcels of property listed in Exhibit "A", the Engineer's Rolls, attached hereto and made a part hereof for all purposes and against the real and true owners thereof (whether such owners by correctly named herein or not) the Sums of money itemized in such exhibit opposite the desciption of the respective parcels of property and the several amounts assessed against the same, and the owners thereof, as far as such owners are known. IV. Where more than one person, firm or corporation owns an interest in any property above described, each said person, firm or corporation shall be personally liable only for its, her or his pro rata of the total assessment against such property in proportion as its, his or her respective interest bears to the total ownership of such property, and its, his or her respective interest in such property may be released from the assessment lien upon payment of such proportionate sum. V. The several sums above mentioned and assessed against the said parcels of property, and the owners thereof, and interest thereon at the rate of eight per cent (8) per annum, together with reasonable attorney's fees and Page of Pages Agena—Item No. collection, if incurred, are hereby declared to be and are made a lien upon the respective parcels of property against which the same are assessed, and a personal liability and charge against the real and true owners of such property whether such owners be correctly named herein or not, and the said leins shall be and constitute the first enforceable lien and claim against the property on which such assessments are levied, and shall be a first and paramount lien thereon, superior to all other liens and claims, except State, County, School District and City ad valorem taxes. When the improvements are completed and accepted by the City on a particular unit, the stuns assessed against property abutting upon such completed and accepted unit shall be and become payable in 12 successive monthly install- ments, from the date of such completion and acceptance, and the assessments against the property abutting upon the remaining units shall be and become due and payable in such installments after the date of completion and accep- tance of such respective unit. The entire amount assessed against the part- cular parcels of the improvements on the unit upon which the particular pro- perty abuts at the rate of eight (8%) per cent per annum, payable monthly except as to interest on the first installment, which shall be due and payable on the date said installment matures, provided that any owner shall have the right to pay any and all of such installments at any time before maturity be paying principal with interest accrued to the date of payment, and further provided if default be made in the payment of any installment promptly as the same matures, then at the option of the City of Wichita Falls, or its assigns, the entire amount of the assessment upon which such default is made shall be and become immediately due and payable; but it is speci- fically provided that no assessment shall in any case be made against any property or any owner thereof in excess of the special benefits to property in the enhanced value thereof by means of said improvements in the unit upon which the particular property abuts, as ascertained at the hearing provided until after notice of hearing as provided by the law. Said assessments against the respective lots and parcels of property and owners thereof shall be evidenced by certificates of a special assessment which shall be executed in the name of the City of Wichita Falls, PROVIDED, that the City Tax Assessor-Collector is hereby empowered to authorize payments of said stuns in lesser installments and over a longer period of time not to exceed 96 months, in cases in which the City Tax Assessor-Collector has determined that an extreme financial hardship upon the property owner will otherwise result. VI. If default shall be made in the payment of an assessment, collection thereof shall be enforced either by the sale of the property by the City as near as possible in the manner provided for the sale of property for the nonpayment of ad valorem taxes, or at the option of the City of Wichita Falls, or its assigns, payment of said sums shall be enforced by suit-in-:any court of competent jurisdiction, or as provided in any mechanic's or materialman's contract and said City shall exercise all of its lawful powers to aid-in the enforcement and collection of said assessments. VII. The total amount assessed against the respective parcels of abutting property, and the owners thereof, is in accordance with the proceedings of the City relating to said improvements and assessments thereof, and is less than the proportion of the cost allowed and permitted by the law in force in the City. Page of Pages Ag ndi Item-14. VIII. Although the aforementioned charges have been fixed, levied, and assessed in the respective amounts hereinabove stated, the City Council does hereby reserve unto itself the right to reduce the aforementioned assessments by allowing credits to certain property owners where deemed appropriate. Notwithstanding the City Council has herein reserved the right to issue credits, it shall not be required to issue credits, and will not do so, if same would result in any inequity and/or unjust dis- crimination. The principal amount of each of the several assessment certificates to be issued the City of Wichita Falls, Texas, as hereinafter provided, shall be fixed and determined by deducting from the amount of any assess- ment hereinabove levied such amount or amounts, if any, as may hereafter be allowed by the City Council as a credit against the respective assess- ments. IX. For the purpose of evidencing the several sums assessed against the respective parcels of abutting property and the owners thereof, and the time and terms of payment, and to aid in the enforcement and collection thereof, assignable certificates in the principal amount of the respective assessments less the amount of any respective credit allowed thereon, shall be issued by the City of Wichita Falls, Texas, upon completion and accep- tance by the City of the improvements in each unit of improvement as the work in such unit is completed and accepted, which certificates shall be executed by the Mayor in the name of the City and attested by the City Clerk with the corporate seal of the City impress thereon, and shall declare the said amounts, time and terms of payment, rate of interest, and date of the completion and acceptance of the improvements abutting upon such property for which the certificate is issued, and shall contain the name of the owner or owners, if known, description of the property by lot and block number, or front feet thereon, or such other description as may otherwise identify the same; and if the said property shall be owned by an estate, then the description of same as so owned shall be sufficient and no error or mistake in describing any property, or in giving the name of the owner, shall invali- date or in anywise impair such certificate, to the assessments levied. The cerficates shall provide substantially that if same shall not be paid promptly upon maturity, then they shall be collectable, with reasonable attorney's fees and costs of collection, if incurred, and shall provide substantially that the amounts evidenced thereby shall be paid to the Tax Assessor and Collector of the City of Wichita Falls, Texas, who shall issue his receipt therefor which shall be evidence of such payment on any demand for the same, and the Tax Assessor and Collector shall deposit the sums so received with the Director of Finance to be kept and held in a separate fund, and when any payment shall be made to the City, the Tax Assessor and Collector upon such certificate shall upon presentation to him of the certificate by the holder thereof, endorse said payment thereon. If such certificate be assigned, then the holder thereof shall be entitled to recieve from the Director of Finance the amount paid upon the presentation to him of such certificate so endorsed and credited; and such endorsement and credit shall be the Director of Finance's authority for making such payment. Such payments by the Director of Finance shall be receipted for the holder of such Page of Pages Agenda No. .. certificate in writing and by surrender thereof when the principal, together with accrued interest and all costs of collection and reasonable attorney's fees, if incurred, have been paid in full. Said certificates shall further recite substantially that the proceedings with reference to making the improvements have been regularly had in complaince with the law, and that all prerequisites to the fixing of the assessment lien against the property described in such certificate and the personal liability of the owners thereof have been performed, and such recitals shall be prima facie evidence of all the matters re- cited in such certificates, and no further proof thereof shall be required in any court. Said certificates ma y coupons co ons attached thereto in evidence of each or any of the several installments thereof, or may have coupons for each of the first four installments, leaving the main certificate to serve for the fifth installment, which coupons may be payable to the City of Wichita Falls, or its assigns may be signed with the facsimile signa- tures of the Mayor and City Clerk. Said certificates shall further recite that the City of Wichita Falls, Texas, shall exercise all of its lawful powers, when requested so to do, to aid in the enforcement and collection thereof, and may contain re- citals substantially in accordance with the above and other additional recitals pertinent or appropriate thereof, and it shall not be necessary that the recitals be in the exact form above set forth, but the substance thereof shall be sufficient. The fact that such improvements may be omitted on any portion of any of said units adjacent to any premises exempt from the lien of such assessments shall not in anywise invalidate, effect or impair the lien of such assessments upon other premises. X. Full power to make and levy reassessments and to correct mistakes, errors, invalidities or irregularities, either in the assessments or in the certificates issued the evidence thereof, is, in accordance with the law in force in this City, vested in the City. XI. All assessments levied are a personal liability and charge against the real and true owners of the premises described, nothwithstanding such owners may not be named, or may be incorrectly named. XII. The assessments so levied are for the improvements in the particular unit upon which the property described abuts, and the assessments for the improvements in any unit are in nowise affected by the improvements or assessments in any other unit, and in making assessments and in holding said hearing, the amounts assessed for improvements in any one unit have been in nowise connected with the improvements or the assessments therefor in any other unit. Page of Pages Agen �c Item No. XIII. The assessments levied are made and levied under and by virtue of the terms, powers and provisions of an Act passed at the First Called Session of the Fortieth Legislature of the State of Texas, known as Chapter 106 of the Acts of said Session and now shown as Article 1105b of Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes, which Act has been adopted as an amendment to and made a part of the Charter of the City of Wichita Falls, Texas. XIV. The City Clerk is hereby directed to engross and enroll this ordinance by copying the caption of same in the Minute Book of the City Council of Wichita Falls, Texas, and by filing the complete Ordinance in the appropriate Ordinance Records of said City. XV. The costs of curbs and gutters on this portion of street were levied and assessed by Ordinance No. 97-82 dated October 19, 1982; it is the intent of this Ordinance to levy and assess the costs of paving on this portion of street. XVI. The fact that the making and construction of the said improvements is being delayed pending the taking effect of this Ordinance, and that the conditions of such portions of streets and avenues endangers public health and safety, constitutes and creates an urgent public necessity, requiring that this Ordinance be passed as an emergency measure, and this Ordinance is passed as an emergency measure and shall be in force and effect immediately from and after its passage. PASSED AND APPROVED THIS 6th day of September ,1983.
