6. 5. <br /> CC Regular Session New <br /> Meeting Date: 09/10/2024 <br /> Primary Strategic Plan Initiative: Not Applicable <br /> Title: <br /> Adopt Resolution#24-244 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 1,163. There were I,103 notices sent out in 2023. <br /> The proposed amount to be certified for 2024 is $609,566.06 ($469,110.92 in 2023). A summary of current and <br /> prior years is attached under Master Certification Summary. <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 <br /> than 30 days past due, a follow-up collection notice stating delinquency is sent. In September, the city follows up <br /> with a letter to respective delinquent properties (more than 60 days past due on September 1) outlining the process <br /> to cure the delinquent account and to avoid certification to the following years property tax. This letter was sent <br /> on September 5. <br /> Recommendation: <br /> Staff recommends calling for the public hearing on September 24, 2024. <br /> Outcome/Action: <br /> Motion to Adopt Resolution#24-244 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 /> Attachments <br /> Certification List 9-10-24 <br /> Master Certification Summary 9-10-24 <br /> Resolution#24-244 <br /> Form Review <br /> Inbox Reviewed By Date <br /> Brian Hagen Katie Schmidt 09/05/2024 11:14 AM <br /> Form Started By:Diana Lund Started On:08/20/2024 08:31 AM <br />
