Title
Resolution to Place Delinquent Water Utilities Charges to the 2008 Tax Roll ($104,402.64)
Memorandum
Your approval is requested to place delinquent Water Utilities charges, which have remained unpaid for six months or more, on the July 2008 tax roll.
These delinquent charges are a lien on the property served as provided by the State of Michigan Public Act 94 of the Public Acts of 1933. Any such charge delinquent for six months or more is placed on the City's July tax roll with a 10% penalty pursuant to the City Ordinance Code, Chapter 29, Section 2:72 and Chapter 13, Section 2:92. (Excerpts from the Public Act and the ordinance are on attachment #1.)
On April 7, 2008 the City Administrator reported to this Council that there were $157,773.05 of unpaid charges for water, sanitary sewer and stormwater services furnished to certain premises in the City, which on March 31, 2008 had remained unpaid for a period of six months or more, including two accounts, which are responsible for $55,509.90 of the outstanding debt. Additional payments have further reduced this amount. As of this date, $104,402.64 is presently unpaid. This $104,402.64 of delinquent billings is recommended for placement on the 2008 tax roll. We expect a further reduction in delinquent billings up to the 2008 post date of the tax statements, projected for June 6, 2008. This is in keeping with past practice. A listing of the delinquent accounts is available for inspection in the Clerk's office, and the Customer Service Center, 220 E Huron St, Suite 100.
