Shakopee City Council
October 19, 2021


FROM:Nathan Reinhardt, Finance Director
TO:Mayor and Council Members
Subject:

Assessment hearing on delinquent false alarms bill, Resolution No. R2021-153.

Policy/Action Requested:

Offer Resolution No. R2021-153, certifying assessments for delinquent false alarms.

Recommendation:

Approval.

Discussion:

The Council is asked to consider Resolution No. R2021-153 that would assess property owners on taxes payable 2022 for unpaid false alarms.

 

The city routinely certifies past due bills for collection with the property taxes.  To date the city has been unable to collect $130 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. 

 

An updated list of property owners to be assessed (if needed) will be provided Tuesday evening; this is to allow property owners to make final payments until Tuesday, October 19, 2021. 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.
