Shakopee City Council
September 17, 2019


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 False Alarm & Mowing Service Bills
Policy/Action Requested:
Adopt Resolution No.R2019-101, 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 2019 false alarm and lawn mowing customers,
  2. Set the public hearing date of October 15, 2019,
  3. Beginning October 16, 2019 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 $390.00 for false alarm services for one parcel and $150.00 for delinquent mowing fees, for two parcels. 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.
