Action Sought

Charges including false alarms and lawn mowing services for Collection with
Payable 2016 Property Taxes and move its adoption.
Background
The City routinely certifies past due miscellaneous fees including false alarm and
lawn mowing services for collection with the property taxes. On October 6, 2015,
Council directed staff to start the assessment process for these delinquent accounts.
Resolution No. 7633 certifies delinquent false alarm and lawn mowing fees on the
tax rolls payable in 2016. In addition to these delinquent amounts, a $25.00
administrative charge will be added to each account if not paid by the public
hearing. The property owners have been notified of the process and have until
November 4, 2015 to pay before being assessed. A list of property owners to be
assessed will be on the table Wednesday evening.
Recommendation
Offer Resolution No. 7633, A Resolution Ordering Certification of Unpaid Misc.
Charges for Collection with Payable 2016 Property Taxes and move its adoption.
Budget Impact
The $25.00 administrative charge covers the administrative cost; therefore, the
impact to the budget is minimal.
Relationship to Vision
This supports Goal C: Maintain the City's strong financial health.
Requested Action
Offer Resolution No. 7633, A Resolution Ordering Certification of Unpaid Misc.
Charges including false alarms and lawn mowing services for Collection with
