SUBJECT
Adopt a Resolution Confirming the Report and Special Assessment for Delinquent Sewer Bills and Water Bills Incurred by Property Owners and Authorizing the Delinquent Charges to Become a Special Assessment Against the Properties if Not Paid by August 1, 2019.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II) confirming the report and assessment for delinquent water bills and sewer bills and authorizing the delinquent charges to become a special assessment against the properties if not paid by August 1, 2019.
SUMMARY
In November 2012, Council approved collection of delinquent water and sewer service charges by way of special assessments on property tax rolls for property owners that receive only sewer service from the City and from owners of multi-family properties. Currently, fifty-five affected property owners owe a total of $69,090.55 in unpaid sewer and water charges, including administrative fees, as listed on Attachment III. Staff anticipates that the final list of properties and amount of delinquent water and sewer charges will be smaller by the final due date of August 1, 2019. Recovery of these outstanding charges improves the fiscal health of the Water and Wastewater Operating Funds, which benefits all rate payers.
