The Council is asked to consider Resolution No. R2019-109 that would assess property owners on taxes payable 2020 for unpaid refuse and recycling services from the City's designated garbage hauler, Republic Services.

In previous action, the City Council has authorized City participation in the collection of delinquent garbage accounts in the City's designated "organized" collection area. By doing this, it eliminated the need to stop service to the accounts, which could lead to a higher incidence of illegal dumping.

Ordinance No. 583 was passed on October 17, 2000 which amended Section 3.15, Subdivision 7 of the City Code and obligated the property owners to pay the charges and costs for the collection and disposal of refuse and recyclable materials.

Republic Services provided the City with a list of delinquent accounts on October 10, 2019 of which there were 170 property owners with unpaid garbage/refuse bills for a total an amount due of $33,045.73.

Attached is a list of delinquent property owners who have unpaid garbage/refuse bills. An updated list of property owners to be assessed will be on the table Tuesday evening; this is to allow property owners to make final payments until Tuesday, October 15, 2019. The listing will consist of Shakopee property owners who have either 1) not paid or 2) not paid in full their delinquent garbage bill to Republic Services.
