REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION CERTIFYING PAST DUE MISCELLANEOUS RECEIVABLES INVOICES TO BE PAYABLE WITH 2020 PROPERTY TAXES DEPARTMENT HEAD’S APPROVAL: Brenda Davitt CITY MANAGER’S APPROVAL: No comments to supplement this report ___ Comments attached ___ Recommendation: To adopt the resolution certifying past due miscellaneous receivables invoices to be payable with the 2020 property taxes. Legislative History: Minnesota State Statutes provide cities with authority to levy a one-year special assessment on properties for unpaid service charges. Authority to certify these unpaid charges are also provided in the City Code. The Code defines a past due invoice as any charge not paid when due; however, City staff recommends certifying unpaid amounts which are at least ninety (90) days past due as of July 23, 2019. The miscellaneous receivables customers have been advised about the certification process, giving them an opportunity to make full payment prior to this certification. Explanation: Since purchasing BS&A, this is the first year past due charges for miscellaneous receivable services are to be certified for collection with the property taxes. Through certification, the City is assured of payment for these services. The certified amount must be paid with the 2020 property taxes. The amount to be certified to the 2020 property taxes is $1,815.22. The certified amount includes an interest charge of 10% per annum, as the City will not receive settlement in full until December 2020. In the future, all miscellaneous receivables that are 90 days past due will be sent to the County along with unpaid utility billing receivables. ________________________ Brenda Davitt Finance Director Attachment: Resolution Attachment A Agenda Section: Consent Report Date: Jul. 17, 2019 Council Meeting Date: Jul. 23, 2019
