SUBMITTED BY: Finance BOARD /COMMISSION /COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: N/A PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: None BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Minnesota Statute 429.101 allows local governments to assess unpaid fees for special charges noted in the City Ordinances. These charges may include weed cutting, snow removal, street sweeping, tree trimming, utility bills, operation of street lighting systems, special fire service fees, compliance fees, etc. Installments can be paid in one installment up to 10 equal installments. City's policy has been one installment due to the relatively small balances that remain. The City may also charge fees incurred by the City to assess the benefited properties. The attached listing includes addresses over two months delinquent on their city bills. The property owners have not made arrangements with the City to pay their bills. A 14 -day notice of the pending assessment and October 21, 2010 public hearing has been given to the affected property owners. The public hearing notice was also placed in the St. Joseph Newsleader. Other collection measures have been taken prior to collection under MN § 429.101. The property owners will be given until November 22, 2010 at 4:30 pm to pay their delinquent invoices prior to sending the assessment to Stearns County for collection. The $35 assessment fee will be waived if the delinquent balance is paid in full before this date.
