Title
Resolution Authorizing Sanitary Sewer and Water Improvement Charges for 2969 Heather Way ($5,582.14)
Memorandum
Your approval is requested to levy sanitary sewer and water improvement charges of $5,582.14 on the property known as 2969 Heather Way. Annexation from Ann Arbor Township was completed on May 13, 1998, as notified by the State of Michigan.
Historically improvement charges were levied following annexation. Upon file review, we found that the sanitary sewer and water improvement charges for this property were never levied nor paid.
The property is currently connected and active for sanitary sewer and water service. According to the procedures in place at the time of annexation, the property owner needs to now pay the property's share of the existing utilities through the City improvement charge levy as required under section 1:278, Chapter 12, of the Ann Arbor Code. The $5,582.14 Utilities Improvement Charge is to be levied and then made payable in 5 annual installments at 6.07% interest per annum on the unpaid balance.
It is therefore recommended that Council levy these improvement charges according to the terms described above.
