Shakopee City Council
October 17, 2017


FROM:Darin Nelson, Finance Director
TO:Mayor and Council Members
Subject:
Assessment Hearing on Delinquent False Alarms & Mowing Services
Policy/Action Requested:

Adopt Resolution No.7945, certifying assessments for delinquent false alarms & mowing services.

Recommendation:
Approval
Discussion:

The Council is asked to consider Resolution No.7945 that would assess property owners on taxes payable 2018 for unpaid false alarms and mowing services.

 

The city routinely certifies past due bills for collection with the property taxes.  To date the city has been unable to collect $800 for false alarm services and $520 for delinquent mowing fees, estimating 2 parcels.  The city will charge an additional $25 administrative fee if the delinquent assessments become levied to cover the city’s administrative costs. 

 

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 17, 2018. These charges will be added to the delinquent bills once the assessments are adopted by Council.

Budget Impact:
The $25.00 delinquent charge would be revenue to cover the administrative costs; therefore, there is no impact on the budget.
