pay. Interest accrues on each unpaid installment at the rate |
established under Title 36, section 186 beginning on the 60th day |
after the date the installment is due under subsection 4. If |
payment of an installment is not made within 60 days after the due |
date, the treasurer of the district may initiate an action in |
Superior Court to compel payment of the delinquent installment. |
The court shall determine the amount owed by the municipality to |
the district and shall order the municipal treasurer to pay all |
delinquent installments, accrued interest and any court costs and |
reasonable attorney's fees incurred by the district. To ensure |
prompt payment of the delinquent installments, the court may |
require that amounts due to the municipality from the State under |
Title 30-A, section 5681 and Title 36, sections section 578 and 685 |
be paid to the district until the amount determined by the court is |
satisfied. The court shall promptly notify the disbursing state |
agency of the determination and direct the agency to make the |
required change in payee and the amounts to be paid. If additional |
funds are needed to satisfy the amount determined by the court to |
be paid to the district, the court may order the attachment or |
trustee process and sale of real or personal property owned by the |
municipality or the attachment of the municipality's bank accounts |
or require property tax payments to the municipality to be turned |
over to the court and may pay the amount owed the district from the |
proceeds and return any excess to the municipality. |
