Title
Resolution to Transfer Delinquent Sidewalk Improvement Charges to the 2008 City Tax Roll
Memorandum
The properties listed in schedule A (attached) were in violation of City Ordinance Code: Chapter 49, Section 4:58, which requires all sidewalks within the City shall be kept and maintained in good repair by the owner of the land. The City as required by Code brought these properties into compliance. Invoices were issued to the property owners, which to date have not been paid. The property owners have been properly notified of the special assessments.
Properties who have identified financial hardship as a barrier to correct the sidewalk deficiencies are not included in this recommendation.
Passage of this resolution will permit the inclusion of these fees on the 2008 tax roll.
