This time requirement is jurisdictional. Failure to file the appeal with the City, and pay any applicable fee established by the City Commission for the filing of said appeal, within thirty (30) days, shall be conclusively deemed to be an abandonment of any right to appeal or to otherwise contest the lien. (d) Upon receipt, the notice of lien appeal will be forwarded to the City Manager, who shall be empowered to adjust, settle, or compromise any appeal on behalf ofthe City. If the City Manager and property owner fail to reach an agreement within fourteen (14) days of the date that the appeal was filed, the notice of lien appeal will be placed on the agenda of the next reasonably available regularly scheduled City Commission meeting. (e) If a written appeal is filed and the decision to lien is reversed by the City Commission, the City will not lien the property and will refund the appeal fee. Section 7. Collection of Liens. All liens shall become due and payable thirty (30) days after the mailing of the notice of lien by the Finance Director or other designee of the City Manager to the property owner, except in such cases where an appeal is filed pursuant to Section 6, in which case the lien is due and payable thirty (30) days from the decision of the City Commission. After the respective due dates above fixed, all unpaid liens shall become delinquent and shall thereafter bear interest at the rate of twelve (12) percent per annum; provided, however, that if said interest amount exceeds the maximum amount permitted by State law, then the interest rate shall be established at the maximum amount permitted by State law.
