CC Regular Session <br />Meeting Date: 09/13/2022 <br />By: Diana Lund, Finance <br />Information <br />5. 16. <br />Title <br />Adopt Resolution #22-211 Declaring Costs to be Assessed and Calling for a Public Hearing on Proposed <br />Assessment for Past -Due Charges on Municipal Utility Bills (which may include water, sewer, street lighting, <br />recycling, storm water charges and penalties incurred) and Current Services Rendered. <br />Purpose/Background: <br />Annually, the city certifies to the following year's property tax, any accounts receivable (either utility or invoiced) <br />that are more than sixty days delinquent as of September 1 and not paid by November of that same year. <br />The number of accounts that will be receiving a delinquent notice with possible certification to property taxes <br />totaled 1,080. There were 972 notices sent out in 2021. <br />The proposed amount to be certified for 2022 is $409,991.84 ($331,226.91 in 2021). <br />Municipal utility bills stay with a property when it is sold and do not follow the homeowner like gas and electric <br />bills do. <br />Notification: <br />Utility bills are sent quarterly to all residents and commercial businesses within the city. If an account is more than <br />30 days past due, a follow-up collection notice stating delinquency is sent. In September, the city follows up with <br />a letter to respective delinquent properties (more than 60 days past due on September 1) outlining the process to <br />cure the delinquent account and to avoid certification to the following years property tax. This letter was sent on <br />September 2. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends calling for the public hearing on September 27, 2022. <br />Action: <br />Motion to Adopt Resolution #22-211 Declaring Costs to be Assessed and Calling for a Public Hearing on <br />Proposed Assessment for Past -Due Charges on Municipal Utility Bills (which may include water, sewer, street <br />lighting, recycling, storm water charges and penalties incurred) and Current Services Rendered. <br />Certification List 9-13-22 <br />Certification Summary 9-13-22 <br />Resolution #22-211 <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Brian Hagen Brian Hagen 09/07/2022 08:27 PM <br />Form Started By: Diana Lund Started On: 08/30/2022 12:22 PM <br />
