WHEREAS, Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 13.14.150 allows delinquent sewer
service charges to be assessed as recorded liens upon the affected properties and ultimately placed
on the property tax bill for collection; and
WHEREAS, Section 13.14.150 requires the City to hold a public hearing no sooner than
seven days after the sixty-day delinquency period has passed, with advance notice to be mailed to

in a lien upon the affected parcel and the amount owed will be charged to the property owner on
the next regular property tax bill; and
WHEREAS, City staff has identified certain properties for which the sewer service charges
are over sixty days delinquent; and
WHEREAS, property owners have been notified of their delinquencies within the last sixty
days, were notified of the time and place of the public hearing within the last ten days, and were
again asked to pay the delinquent sewer service charges to avoid a lien being placed on their
property; and
WHEREAS, City staff is recommending that the City Council approve the final list of
delinquent sewer service accounts as submitted and that these charges be submitted to the County
for assessment as recorded liens on the respective parcels of land and ultimately placed on the next
regular property tax bill for collection; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has held the requisite public hearing and considered the
delinquent accounts together with any objections or protests by interested parties; and
WHEREAS, at the conclusion of the hearing, the City Council approved the delinquency
and amount owed on the accounts as submitted, has held the requisite public hearing, and
