Mayor Wilharber opened the public hearing at 6:07 p.m. <br /> Mr. March noted that several residents had paid their delinquent amounts prior to the <br /> public hearing. <br /> Council Member Sweeney questioned whether the City could hire a collection agency <br /> rather than certifying the delinquent amounts with Anoka County. <br /> Mr. March indicated that an assessment would be attached to the properiy 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 banlcruptcy. City <br /> Attorney Hoeft confirmed. <br /> Council Member Sweeney stated that he was concerned that the list contained several <br /> property owners who consistently are delinquent.

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 assessrnent amounts. <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 questianed whether the <br /> administrative fee could be increased. City. Attorney Hoeft confirmed, provided the City <br /> stayed within the allowable usury laws. � <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 /> Motion by Council Member Broussard Vickers, seconded by Council Member <br /> Sweenev to close the public hearing.
