Resolution to Transfer Delinquent Sidewalk Improvement Charges to the 2008 City Tax Roll (Deleted from the agenda on 10/6/08)
Memorandum
We recommend your approval of the attached resolution to add delinquent sidewalk improvement charges to the 2008 Winter tax rolls as a special assessment with a 10% penalty, in accord with Section 1.292 of the City Code.
The properties listed in Schedule A (attached) are in violation of City Ordinance Code: Chapter 49, Section 4:58, which requires all sidewalks within the City to be maintained in good repair by the owner of the land. The City as required by Code has completed the work required to bring 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.
Passage of this resolution will permit the inclusion of these fees on the next tax roll.
