If the owner of any structure has failed to commence the repair or removal of such structure within the time stated in the resolution or has failed to diligently prosecute the same thereafter, the city may proceed to raze and remove such structure, make the premises safe and secure, or let the same to contract. The city shall keep an account of the cost of such work and may sell the salvage from such structure and apply the proceeds or any necessary portion thereof to pay the cost of removing such structure and making the premises safe and secure. All moneys in excess of that necessary to pay such costs shall, after the payment of all costs, be paid to the owner of the premises upon which the structure was located. If there is no salvageable material of if moneys received from the sale of salvage is insufficient to pay the cost of such work, such costs or any portion thereof in excess of the amount received from the sale of salvage shall be assessed as a special assessment against the lot or parcel of land on which the structure was located and the city clerk shall at the time of certifying other city taxes, certify the unpaid portion of the aforesaid costs and the county clerk shall extend the same on the tax rolls of the county against the lot or parcel of land. Whenever any structure shall be removed from any premises under the provisions of this chapter, the city clerk shall certify to the county assessor that such structure, describing the same, has been so removed. If there is no salvageable material or if the moneys received from the sale of salvage is insufficient to pay the costs of the work, such costs or any portion thereof in excess of that received from the sale of salvage may be financed, until the assessment is paid, out of the general fund or by the issuance of no-fund warrants. Whenever no-fund warrants are issued under the authority of this chapter, the governing body shall make a tax levy at the first tax levying period for the purpose of paying such warrants and the interest thereon. All such tax levies shall be in addition to all other levies authorized or limited by law and shall not be subject to the aggregate tax levy prescribed in Article 19 of Chapter 79 of the Kansas Statutes Annotated, and amendments thereto. Such warrants shall be issued, registered, redeemed and bear interest in the manner and in the form prescribed by KSA 79-2940, except they shall not bear the notation required by the section and may be issued without the approval of the State Board of Tax Appeals. All moneys received from special assessments levied under the provisions of this section shall, when and if paid, be placed in the general fund of the city. (Prior code § 5-707)
