Shakopee City Council
September 21, 2021


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 bills.

Policy/Action Requested:

Adopt Resolution No.R2021-134, 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 2021 false alarms

2.  Set the public hearing date of Tuesday, October 19, 2021

3.  Beginning Wednesday, October 20, 2021 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 $130.00 for false alarm services.  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.
