<br />Mayor Wilharber opened the public hearing at 6:07 p.m. <br /> <br />Mr. March noted that several residents had paid their delinquent amounts prior to the <br />public hearing. <br /> <br />Council Member Sweeney questioned whether the City could hire a collection agency <br />rather than certifYing the delinquent amounts with Anoka County. <br /> <br />Mr. March indicated that an assessment would be attached to the property whether or not <br />the property owner filed bankruptcy. If a collection agency was used, and the City <br />obtained a civil judgment, same could be discharged in the case of bankruptcy. City <br />Attorney Hoeft confirmed. <br /> <br />Council Member Sweeney stated that he was concerned that the list contained several <br />property owners who consistently are delinquent. Council Member Sweeney questioned <br />whether a property owner could write off the assessment as a property tax when filing <br />taxes. City Attorney Hoeft indicated it would be improper to attempt to write off an <br />assessment as a property tax. The property tax statement received from the County will <br />differentiate between taxes and assessment amounts. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers expressed concern that the property owners with <br />delinquent utilities are essentially receiving an interest free loan for minimal <br />administrative fee of $25. Council Member Broussard Vickers questioned whether the <br />administrative fee could be increased. City Attorney Hoeft confirmed, provided the City <br />stayed within the allowable usury laws. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers questioned whether the names of individuals with <br />delinquent utilities could be published. City Attorney Hoeft confirmed. Mr. March <br />stated he would prefer to notifY residents, prior to the public hearing process, that their <br />names and addresses would be published if unpaid prior to that point. Mr. March felt that <br />this may prompt residents to satisfY amounts that are delinquent. <br /> <br />Motion bv Council Member Broussard Vickers. seconded bv Council Member <br />Sweeney to close the public headn!!. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />IV. APPEARANCES/AWARDS <br /> <br />None. <br /> <br />V. CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES <br /> <br />1. October 25,2000 Meeting Minutes <br /> <br />Mr. March requested the following modifications: Page 3, first paragraph, change "3x3" <br />to "3 foot wide by 16 foot long". As a side note, Mr. March informed Council that the <br />property owners would repair their driveway in the spring and would like the City to <br />repair the end of the driveway at the same time. Page 6, second paragraph, add "or if <br />additional monies need to be expended"; Page 7, under the Administrator's Report in the <br /> <br />Page 2 of 10 <br />
