| 6. Enforcement. If a municipal treasurer fails to pay the |
installment due, or any part, on the dates required, to initiate |
collection procedures, the treasurer of the school administrative |
district may notify the municipal treasurer of the failure to |
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. |
