Shakopee City Council
October 3, 2023


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 & mowing service bills.
Policy/Action Requested:

Adopt Resolution No. R2023-104, a resolution 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 2023 false alarm and lawn mowing customers

2. Set the public hearing date of November 7, 2023

3. Beginning November 8, 2023 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 and $771.00 for delinquent mowing fees, for three 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.
