| | | | | | | | Discussion:
City Council entered into an agreement for refuse services with Republic Services/Allied Waste Services on June 1, 2014. As part of this agreement, Republic Services/Allied Waste Services is prohibited from pulling any refuse containers, despite nonpayment, and follows the payment collections program developed with city staff.
To date, Republic Services/Allied Waste Services has been unable to collect $42,744.10 (199 parcels) for services rendered in the City of Shakopee. Republic Services/Allied Waste Services has also sent delinquent notices to property owners who have rental property in Shakopee to inform property owners of future assessments due to non-payment by renters.
The city’s fee schedule includes an additional $25.00 service fee to cover the city’s administrative costs. | | |
| | | | | | | | Budget Impact:
There is no budget impact as the amounts are previously owed. The city pays the entire unpaid balance to Republic Services/Allied Waste Services and collects through the certification process. The $25.00 delinquent charge would cover administrative costs with the certification process. | | |
