Affected <br />6 property owners are provided a hearing to dispute any charges against their property. <br />7 <br />8 Beginning in 2010, the City Council began approving certifications for delinquent utilities on <br />9 a quarterly basis. This ensures that any unpaid utilities are brought to the attention of new <br />10 property owners in a more timely fashion. It also allows the City to record a lien against the <br />11 property in the event that a property goes into foreclosure and/or is being prepared for sale <br />12 for other reasons. <br />13 <br />14 Attached is the current list of delinquent charges. Payments (along with accrued interest) <br />15 received in the Finance Office prior to May 9, 2025 were accepted and will not be levied on <br />16 the 2026 property taxes. <br />17 <br />18 Policy Objectives <br />19 Certifying delinquent charges are required under City Code <br />20 <br />21 Equity Impact Summary <br />22 There is no anticipated racial equity impact <br />23 <br />24 Budget Implications <br />25 Not Applicable <br />26 <br />27 Staff Recommendations <br />28 Staff recommends approval of the attached resolution levying unpaid utility charges for <br />29 collection on the property tax roll. <br />30 <br />31 Requested Council Action <br />32 Motion to adopt the resolution approving the certification of unpaid utility and other charges <br />33 to the County Auditor for collection on the property tax roll. <br />34 <br />Page 1 of 2 <br />Qbhf!8!pg!226 <br /> <br />
