WHEREAS, in November 1998, the City Council amended Municipal Code Section 8.24
to eliminate suspension of solid waste service for nonpayment; and
WHEREAS, to ensure that all residents pay their fair share of the costs of this program
the ordinance allows for delinquent solid waste service chazges to be assessed as recorded liens
upon the affected properties and ultimately placed on the property tax bills for collection; and
WHEREAS, the ordinance states that upon notification of the property owners, a public
hearing is set for solid waste service accounts that are over ninety days delinquent; and
WHEREAS, at the hearing, the City Council considers the delinquent accounts together
with any objections or protests by interested parties; and
WHEREAS, at the conclusion of the hearing, the City Council may either approve the
delinquency and amount owed on the accounts as submitted or as modified or corrected by the
City Council; and
WHEREAS, the account status and property ownership of these accounts have been
verified by both Allied Waste and City staff; and
WHEREAS, these property owners have been notified of their delinquencies through a
series of past due notices sent by Allied Waste, until they were ultimately submitted to the City
for collection; and
WHEREAS, staff has notified the property owners of the public heazing and these owners
were asked to pay their delinquent solid waste service charges prior to transmittal of the
delinquent account list to the County to avoid a lien being placed on their property; and
WHEREAS, staff is recommending that the City Council approve the final list of
delinquent solid waste service accounts as submitted, and that these charges be forwazded to the
County and assessed as recorded liens on the respective parcels of land and ultimately placed on
the next regular tax bill for collection.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula
Vista does hereby: (1) conduct the public hearing to consider assessing certain delinquent solid
waste service charges as recorded liens on the affected properties; (2) overrule any and all
protests or objections presented at the public hearing; and (3) approve, with respect to the
delinquent account list submitted to the City Council and on file in the City Finance Department,
assessing delinquent solid waste service charges as recorded liens upon the respective parcels of
land and the placement of such delinquent charges as special assessments on the next
corresponding regular tax bills, unless cleared prior to transmittal of the delinquent account list
to the County.
