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.

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 November 7''', 2013 public hearing notice 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 December 9, 2013 at 12:00 pm to pay their delinquent invoices prior to sending the assessment to Stearns County for collection. The $45 assessment fee will be waived if the delinquent balance is paid in full before December 9, 2013 at 12:00pm. As of October 31 S`, three accounts have been paid in full and will not be certified. The balance is $3,053.35 after removing the account from the listing.
