Council Agenda Item 5
MEETING DATE: October 1, 2018
AGENDA ITEM: Public Hearing - Delinquent Accounts Proposed Assessment
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.
A 14-day notice of the pending assessment has been given to the affected property owners. The public
hearing notice was also placed in the St. Cloud Times. Other collection measures have been taken prior
to collection under MN § 429.101.
The property owners will be given until November 1, 2018 at 10:00am to pay their delinquent invoices
prior to sending the assessment to Stearns County for collection. The $50 assessment fee will be waived
if the delinquent balance is paid in full before November 1, 2018 at 10:00am.
th
As of September 28, one account has been paid in full. The budget impact reflects the balance due after
this payment was removed.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: up to $1,762.50 in various funds
