September 3, 2019 Council Report 2019-087
Order Public Assessment Hearing
2019 Miscellaneous Special Assessments
Proposed Action:
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move that Council adopt Resolution 2019-
065, Resolution for Hearing on Proposed Assessments, 2019 Miscellaneous Special
Assessments.
Overview:
Each year the City Council considers assessing delinquent utility bills, delinquent invoices, and
delinquent citations. Each property owner has received a minimum of two invoices, which have
not been paid, and thus they have been included with this assessment roll.
A provisional assessment roll has been calculated and staff recommends setting an assessment
hearing. Notices of the public hearing will be mailed out to each of the affected property owners
in addition to placing a notice publication in the local newspaper.
Primary Issues to Consider:
Timeline Schedule:
September 3 City Council orders public hearing
September 26 Notice in Sun Sailor
October 15 Public assessment hearing and adopt assessment roll
November 15 Deadline for interest free payments
Recommendation:
Staff recommends adoption of Resolution 2019-065 that sets an assessment hearing date for
October 15, 2019.
