CC Regular Session <br />Meeting Date: <br />Primary Strategic Plan Initiative: <br />5. 12. <br />09/08/2026 <br />Title: <br />Adopt Resolution #26-206 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 <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 />totals 1,309. There were 1,264 notices sent out in 2025. <br />The proposed amount to be certified for 2026 is $689,549.17 ($575,338.31 in 2025). 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 the respective delinquent properties (more than 60 days past due on September 1) outlining the <br />process to cure the delinquent account and to avoid certification to the following years property tax. This letter <br />was sent on September 3. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends calling for a public hearing on September 22, 2026. <br />Outcome/Action: <br />Motion to Adopt Resolution #26-206 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 />Master Certification Summary 9-8-26 <br />Resolution #26-206 <br />Delinquent Listing for 9-8-26 cc meeting <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Brian Hagen Brian Hagen 09/03/2026 01:02 PM <br />Form Started By: Diana Lund Started On: 09/01/2026 08:57 AM <br />
