MCVM:jh Attachment cc: Barry Lindahl, City Attorney Cindy Steinhauser, Assistant City Manager Ken TeKippe, Finance Director Michael C. Van Milligen Masterpiece on the Mississippi TO: FROM: Ken TeKippe, Finance Director SUBJECT: Delinquent Water, Sewer, Refuse and Stormwater Accounts DATE: October 11, 2010 INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager ✓e A Dubuque AFA dicany 11111r 2007 The purpose of this memorandum is to request City Council authorization for the attached resolution to submit delinquent water, sewer, refuse and stormwater accounts to the Dubuque County Treasurer in order to establish real property liens for collection of such past due accounts. Section 13 -1 C -4 (D) of the Code of Ordinances authorizes the City to place a lien upon the real property served by the City's water system for all delinquent rates and charges. Section 13 -2C -5 (A) of the Code of Ordinances authorizes the City to levy and collect just and equitable charges, rates or rentals upon all lots, parcels of real estate and buildings that are connected directly or indirectly with the sanitary sewer system. Section 13 -2C- (B) of the Code of Ordinances provides that the City shall have a lien upon the real property served by the sanitary system for delinquent rates and charges. Section 13 -6A -7 (D) of the Code of Ordinances authorizes the City to place a lien against the property benefited or served and shall be collected in the same manner as general property taxes. Section 13 -4 -2 (B) of the Code of Ordinances authorizes the City to levy and collect just and equitable charges, rates or rentals upon all lots, parcels of real estate and buildings that are connected directly or indirectly with the stormwater management system. Section 13 -4 -11 (B) of the Code of Ordinances provides that the City shall have a lien upon the real property served by the sanitary system for delinquent rates and charges. The City makes significant attempts to contact delinquent water, sewer, refuse and stormwater accounts. Customers receive monthly bills. Delinquent customers receive various notices depending on the age and /or amount delinquent. These notices include reminder collections calls, delinquent notices, urgent final notice and finally a tax lien letter. Collection efforts have been successful for most of the City's utility customers. However, the attached accounts have refused payment, and many are accounts with constant collection issues. The following are reasons for placing a lien against the property; a) the customer has been disconnected for non - payment and the unpaid balance continues to increase with monthly minimum bill and penalties, b) the customer is subject to disconnect and has refused City access to the meter, c) the outside stop box is inoperable or serves multiple premises preventing disconnection to delinquent premise, d) the customer has defaulted on payment arrangement, e) the landlord refusing to pay utility bills. This is the tenth time the City is turning over delinquent water, sewer, refuse, and stormwater accounts. Plans are to continue filing liens on a quarterly basis. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the delinquent water, sewer, refuse and stormwater accounts identified in the attached resolution be certified to the Dubuque County Treasurer for collection with, and in the same manner as general property taxes. The final schedule of assessments for delinquent utility accounts reflects $28,591.76. This amount includes $760.00 of city administrative fees ($5.00 each). The City will collect funds prior to submitting final schedule to County Treasurer's Office since customers have 30 days to pay after they receive notice of filing of the schedule of assessments from Clerk's office. The City collects some revenue after City Council approval, accordingly the entire amount should not be submitted to the Dubuque County Treasurer. ACTION STEP The Action Step is for the City Council to adopt the attached resolution authorizing the City Clerk to certify the delinquent water, sewer, refuse and stormwater accounts to the Dubuque County Treasurer.
