Shakopee City Council
October 18, 2022


FROM:Nathan Reinhardt, Finance Director
TO:Mayor and City Council
Subject:
Assessment hearing on delinquent fire/police false alarms and mowing services, Resolution No. R2022-132.
Policy/Action Requested:
Consideration of Resolution No. R2022-132, certifying assessments for delinquent  fire/police false alarms and mowing bills.
Recommendation:
Adoption
Discussion:

The Council is asked to consider Resolution No. R2022-132 that would assess property owners on taxes payable 2023 for unpaid fire/police 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 $2,625.00 for false alarm and mowing services for five 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 (if needed) will be provided Tuesday evening; this is to allow property owners to make final payments until Tuesday, October 18, 2022. 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.
