Shakopee City Council
September 15, 2020


FROM:Nathan Reinhardt, 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 service bills.
Policy/Action Requested:
Adopt Resolution No.R2020-112, a resolution declaring the amount to be assessed, ordering the preparation of proposed assessments and set the public hearing date for delinquent ordinance services.
Recommendation:

Staff recommends that City Council

  1. Assess all delinquent 2020 false alarm customers 
  2. Set the public hearing date of October 20, 2020
  3. Beginning October 21, 2020 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 $260.00 for false alarm services, for 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.
