IV.4. Order Public Assessment Hearing 2015 Miscellaneous Special Assessments
August 18, 2015 Council Report 2015-084
Order Public Assessment Hearing
2015 Miscellaneous Special Assessments
Proposed Action.
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move that Council adopt Resolution 2015-054,
Resolution for Hearing on Proposed Assessments, 2015 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. Also included this year is the
termination of a special assessment deferment that is no longer eligible for the program.
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.
Primary Issues to Consider.
