DELINQUENT GARBAGE AND REFUSE COLLECTION ACCOUNTS
FROM:
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to request City council authorization for the attached
resolution to submit delinquent garbage and refuse collection accounts to the Dubuque County
Treasurer in order to establish real property liens for collection of such past due accounts
BACKROUND
.
Section 40-37 ofthe Code of Ordinances provides that city garbage and refuse collection for
residential premises shall be mandatory. Section 40-38 (d) provides that the City shall have a
lien against the property benefited or served and shall be collected in the same manner as general
property taxes. The code further provides that the City Clerk shall certifY to the County
Treasurer, as of December 31 st of each year, such delinquent accounts in order to establish these
amounts as real property liens for collection with and in the same manner as general property
taxes.
I have reviewed the delinquent garbage and refuse collection accounts and have undertaken
efforts to receive payment. Collection efforts have resulted in collection of numerous delinquent
accounts; however, the attached serviced accounts have refused to remit the past due garbage and
refuse collection charges.

It is recommended that the delinquent garbage and refuse collection 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.
ACTION STEP
.
The Action Step is for the City Council to adopt the attached resolution authorizing the City
Clerk to certifY the delinquent garbage and refuse collection account to the Dubuque County
Treasurer.
