Shakopee City Council
September 20, 2022


FROM:Nate 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 Alarms & Mowing Service Bills
Policy/Action Requested:
Adopt Resolution No.R2022-123, a resolution declaring the amount to be assessed, ordering the preparation of proposed assessments and setting the public hearing date for delinquent ordinance services.
Recommendation:

Staff recommends that City Council

  1. Assess all delinquent 2022 false alarm and lawn mowing customers,
  2. Set the public hearing date of October 18, 2022,
  3. Beginning October 19, 2022 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 $2,660.00 for police and fire false alarm services for five parcels and $495.00 for delinquent mowing fees for two parcels. 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.
