Title
An Ordinance to Amend Section 1:292 of Chapter 13 of Title I (Special Assessments) and Section 2:72 of Chapter 29 of Title II (Water, Sewer and Stormwater Rates) of the Code of the City of Ann Arbor (Ordinance No. ORD-09-10)
Memorandum
The attached language initiates the consideration through first reading regarding proposed amendments to Chapter 13 - Special Assessments and Chapter 29 - Water, Sewer and Stormwater Rates.
Proposed ordinance changes include:
· Replacement of specific dates with timing guidelines
· Removal of requirement for multiple notices in Chapter 13
· Removal of requirement for multiple Council resolutions in Chapter 29
· Restructuring of language in both Chapters 13 and 29
These changes are proposed to streamline the processes required for the collection of delinquent accounts receivable, and to make formerly disparate processes congruent. This will allow Treasury to consolidate the procedures for placing delinquent receivable on the taxroll and reduce the time required to place items on the taxroll by two months. Both Chapters 13 and 29 will still require adequate notice to customers and Council approval, and both continue to adhere to standards set forth in the City Charter.
The changes also clarify the distinction between single lot assessments for public improvements such as water or sanitary sewer lines and the single lot assessment procedure used for delinquent accounts receivables.
