Title
Resolution to Transfer Delinquent Sidewalk Maintenance Charges to the 2009 City Tax Roll
Memorandum
We recommend your approval of the attached resolution to add delinquent sidewalk maintenance charges to the 2009 City summer tax rolls as a special assessment with a 10% penalty, in accord with Section 1.292 of the City Code.
Twice per year, staff requests outstanding amounts on invoices that are unpaid for a period in excess of 45 days to be placed on the upcoming tax roll.
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. The City issued Invoices 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.
