(5) Property owners who qualify for this City provided clean up service will be required to sign a Cleanup Agreement prior to the City's cleanup contractor commencing work. This Agreement will outline the scope of the work to be performed, and will include an authorization to proceed. The Agreement will also include a statement that the property owner understands that the City is not admitting any fault or liability for the backup by offering cleanup assistance, and that the property owner also agrees to pay for the underfunded costs of cleanup if any City -established per event limit is reached. Any payment for underfunded costs not received within 90 days of billing will be certified to property's taxes. FUNDING
