CC Regular Session 6. 1. <br />Meeting Date: 09/25/2012 <br />By: Diana Lund, Finance <br />Information <br />Title: <br />Public Hearing and Levy of Assessments for Past -Due Charges on Municipal Utility Bills and Current Services <br />Rendered <br />Background: <br />The City of Ramsey provides varying services that are billed directly to residents through the municipal utility bill <br />and through city invoices. The proposed assessment is made pursuant to the authority granted to the Council by <br />City Ordinance #94-13 and/or Minnesota Statute 429.101 and Chapter 30, Sec 30-3 of the City Code. <br />This is the fourteenth year that the City of Ramsey will be certifying delinquent payments as assessments to be <br />collected with property taxes payable in 2013. The total of delinquent payments as of the writing of this case was <br />$438,316.10 [which includes penalties and interest]. This amount is anticipated to change after collections <br />through September 25, 2012 are posted. The new amount will be the amount to be included in the attached <br />resolution for certification. Any payments received after September 25, 2012, and through November 9, 2012, will <br />be indicated as "prepaid" when the list is transmitted to Anoka County for certification. <br />Attached is the resolution certifying the delinquencies and the most current list of delinquent accounts. The <br />residents that are listed on the delinquency list have all been notified via letter from the City. For those accounts <br />where the former homeowner has moved out and left a balance owing on their account, the City follows the policy <br />that all delinquent bills follow the property and not the person. <br />Funding Source: <br />Utility collections fund the respective utility accounts of water, sewer, street lighting, recycling and storm drainage. <br />Council Action: <br />Hold public hearing and then motion to adopt Resolution # 12-09-XXX Adopting Assessments for Past -Due <br />Charges on Municipal Utility Bills (Which May Include Water, Sewer, Street Lighting, Recycling, Storm Water <br />Charges and Penalties Incurred) and Current Services Rendered. <br />Attachments <br />Resolution Levying Assessments on Past -Due Charges <br />Delinquent Accounts Listing <br />Certification Comparison 2010-2012 <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Kurt Ulrich Kurt Ulrich 09/20/2012 09:20 AM <br />Form Started By: Diana Lund Started On: 09/11/2012 09:46 AM <br />Final Approval Date: 09/20/2012 <br />
