In the event legal action is brought by the city to enforce collection of any amount included in the agreement, such person shall pay all costs of suit incurred by the city or its assignee, including attorney fees. The execution of such an agreement shall render any subsequent appeal null and void and shall constitute a waiver against future action. (Ord. No. NS-2841, § 6, 2-4-13) Sec. 21-84.
