Order Public Assessment Hearing
2022 Miscellaneous Special Assessments
Proposed Action:
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move that Council adopt Resolution 2022-
060, Resolution for Hearing on Proposed Assessments, 2022 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 20 City Council orders public hearing
• September 29 Notice in Sun Sailor
• October 18 Public assessment hearing and adopt assessment roll
• November 18 Deadline for interest free payments
Recommendation:
Staff recommends adoption of Resolution 2022-060 that sets an assessment hearing date for
October 19, 2022.
