Shakopee City Council
September 18, 2018


FROM:Darin Nelson, Finance Director
TO:Mayor and Council Members
Subject:
Declare Amounts, Order the Preparation of Proposed Assessments, Set a Public Hearing Date for Delinquent Mowing Service Bills
Policy/Action Requested:
Adopt Resolution No.R2018-114, A Resolution Declaring the Amount to be Assessed, Ordering the Preparation of Proposed Assessments and Setting the Public Hearing Date for Delinquent Ordinance Services.
Recommendation:

Staff recommends that City Council

  1. Assess all delinquent 2018 lawn mowing customers
  2. Set the public hearing date of October 16, 2018
  3. Beginning October 17, 2018 a city administrative charge of $25.00 will be added to unpaid balances
Discussion:
The city routinely certifies past due bills for collection with the property taxes.  To date the city has been unable to collect $160.00 for delinquent mowing fees, estimating one parcel.  The city will charge an additional $25 administrative fee if the delinquent assessments become levied to cover the city’s administrative costs.
Budget Impact:
The $25.00 delinquent charge would be revenue to cover the administrative costs; therefore, there is no impact on the budget.
