Memorandum
The Resolution before you is to approve the transfer of Delinquent Water Utility, Board Up, Clean Up, Vacant Property Inspection and Housing Inspection Fees, and Fire Inspection Invoices to the July 2014 tax roll. This is a semi-annual process that provides a mechanism for the City to collect unpaid fees provided for in Chapters 29, 93, 101 and 105.
Chapter 13, Section 1:292 and Chapter 29, Section 2:72 specify the procedure for placement of these debts on the tax roll. Pursuant to these Chapters, owners of affected properties will be notified by first class mail on May 7, 2014, that the fees, plus a 10% penalty, will be placed on the July 2014 tax roll unless paid by June 13, 2014.
The amount to be submitted for the July 2014 tax roll is $145,943.77 ($160,538.15) with the 10% penalty fee.
Passage of this Resolution will permit the inclusion of these fees on the July 2014 tax roll thereby allowing the City to recover the cost of providing these services. Passage of this Resolution is recommended.
