SUBJECT:
DELINQUENT STORM WATER MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTS
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to request City council authorization for the
attached resolution to submit delinquent storm water management collection
accounts to the Dubuque County Treasurer in order to establish real property
liens for collection of such past due accounts
BACKROUND
Section 44-282 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 storm water
management system. Section 44-86 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 Code further provides for the preparation of a
resolution assessing the delinquent storm water management charges to the
benefited properties and authorizing the City Clerk to certify, as of December 31st
of each year, a delinquent list to the Dubuque County treasurer for collection
with, and in the same manner as, general property taxes.
I have reviewed the delinquent storm water management accounts and have
undertaken efforts to receive payment. Collection efforts have resulted in the
collection of numerous delinquent accounts, however, the attached serviced
accounts have refused to remit the past due storm water management charge
payments.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the delinquent storm water management 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.
