BACKROUND
Section 44-83 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 44-86 ofthe Code of

system for delinquent rates and charges. The Code further provides for the preparation of a
resolution assessing the delinquent sewer charges to the benefited properties and authorizing the
City Clerk to certify, as of December 31 st 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 sewer 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 sewer charge payments.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the delinquent sewer 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.
