Public Hearing - Delinquent Accounts Proposed Assessment
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 June 5, 2014 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 July 7, 2014 at 10:00 am 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 July 7, 2014 at 10:00am.
