I ~'\) ( ); !Ii{ **CONSENT ITEM 5.7.** MEMORANDUM TO: MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL GARY SCHMITZ, PLANNING C 1 ASSISTANT FROM: DATE: OCTOBER 3, 1994 SUBJECT: RESOLUTION ADOPTING AND LEVYING SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS FOR UNPAID GARBAGE SERVICES . As outlined in the attached resolution, state law and City ordinance allow the City to levy an assessment for any garbage collection services unpaid as of September 1, 1994. No notice is required to the property owner and no public hearing is required before adopting the special assessment resolution. Even though the City is not required to give notice to the property owner, each property owner with a delinquent balance has been sent a delinquent notice. The notice indicated that unless the unpaid balance was paid by a certain date, it would be certified to the County in the form of a special assessment. The notice clearly informed property owners that it was the only notice they would receive regarding this assessment. Attached to the resolution is a list showing the property owner, property identification number, account number, unpaid balance, and the assessment amount for each parcel being assessed. This year there are 57 parcels being assessed a total of $13,385.73. Last year 112 parcels were assessed for a total of $29,052.19. Therefore, the assessment amount has decreased considerably since Elk River Utilities took over the billing program and implemented a monthly refuse bill. The City will allow any ofthese people to pay their assessment prior to certification to the County on November 30. As the resolution states, the assessment amount includes a 10% penalty and 6% interest. . P.O. Box 490. 13065 Orono Parkway · Elk River, MN 55330 · (612) 441-7420 · Fax: (612) 441-7425
