Discussion:
On December 31, 2021, the City of Shakopee ended its refuse contract with Republic Services.
On February 1st Republic Services sent a delinquency list totaling $26,477.70 for 535 parcels, two additional parcels were subsequently added to the list after payments were returned (NSF) for a revised total of $26,601.87. Staff will be proposing to waive delinquencies under $15.00 which includes 18 parcels totaling $138.80, prior to final certification. Attached is the delinquency list as of February 1st. A majority of the delinquencies appear to be from the last two billing cycles from the end of 2021.
Republic Services and city staff is continuing to collect payments since the receiving the delinquent list. A revised listing, updated for payments received, will be provided at the City Council meeting on March 15, 2022.
The city's fee schedule charges an additional $25.00 service fee to cover administrative costs if delinquencies are not paid prior to the public hearing.
