Overview.
Each year the City Council considers assessing delinquent utility bills, delinquent invoices, delinquent
citations, and maintenance of the parking ramp. 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 notice publication in the local newspaper.
