SUBJECT
Adopt a Resolution Accepting and Confirming Report for Delinquent Sewer and Water Bills Incurred by Property Owners and Authorizing Collection of Delinquent Charges on Property Tax Roll
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II) accepting and confirming the report regarding delinquent water and sewer bills and authorizing collection of the delinquent charges by a special assessment against the properties on the Alameda County property tax roll if not paid by August 1, 2021.
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, this includes forty-four affected properties with a total of $27,302.94 in unpaid sewer and water charges, including administrative fees, as listed on Attachment III. It is anticipated 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, 2021. Recovery of these outstanding charges improves the fiscal health of the Water and Wastewater Operating Funds, which benefits all rate payers.
