City Council Agenda Report

Scandia, MN 55073 (651) 433-2274
Action Requested: Hold a public hearing and certify unpaid charges for the"201"Community
Sewage Treatment System to the county auditor for collection with property
taxes payable in 2011.
Deadline/ Timeline: Hearing must be held at first Council meeting of November.
Background: • Ordinance#108 governing the sewage treatment system provides a
procedure by which all delinquent accounts as of October 15 of each
year shall be certified to the county auditor for collection.
• Notice of the hearing was sent to 19 account holders with delinquent
charges on October 19.
• At the hearing,property owners with unpaid accounts have the
opportunity to object to the certification of unpaid charges. If, after the
hearing, the City Council finds that the amounts claimed as delinquent
are actually due and unpaid, and there is no legal reason why the unpaid
charges should not be certified for collection with taxes in accordance
with the ordinance, the City may certify the unpaid charges for
collection.
• For each certification sustained, the property owner has the option of
paying the delinquent amount, without additional interest, within 10
days of the hearing. After 15 days the assessment roll,minus any
payments must be certified to Washington County, and will be billed to
the property owner on the owner's property tax statement with a
collection term of one year, at 7%interest.
• After the hearing notice, several account holders made payments. The
draft resolution, attached, lists charges totaling $7,756.53 that remain
delinquent as of Friday, October 30.
Recommendation: I recommend that the Council hold the hearing and adopt the resolution.
