CHULA VISTA ASSESSING DELINQUENT SOLID WASTE
SERVICE CHARGES AS RECORDED LIENS UPON THE
RESPECTIVE PARCELS OF LAND AND APPROVING
PLACEMENT OF DELINQUENT CHARGES ON THE NEXT
REGULAR TAX BILL
WHEREAS, in November 1998, the City Council amended the 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 charges to be assessed as liens upon the
affected properties and ultimately placed on the property tax bills for collection; and
WHEREAS, the ordinance states that upon notification to 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 is to consider 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 on these accounts have been
verified by both Pacific Waste and staff; and
WHEREAS, property owners were notified of their delinquencies through a series of past
due notices sent by Pacific Waste until they were ultimately submitted to the City for collection;
and
WHEREAS, staff has notified property owners of the public hearing and has requested
that they pay delinquent solid waste service charges before said hearing to avoid property liens;
and
WHEREAS, staff is recommending that the City Council approve the final listing of
delinquent solid waste accounts as submitted at the hearing and that these charges be forwarded
to the County Assessor/Recorder/County Clerk for placement on the next regular tax bill for
collection.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council of the City of Chula Vista
does hereby: (I) Open the public hearing to consider assessing delinquent solid waste service
charges as 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
presented by staff and on file in the office of the City Clerk, assessing delinquent solid waste
service charges as liens upon the respective parcels of land and the placement of such delinquent
charges as a special assessment on the next corresponding regular tax bill, unless cleared prior to
transmittal of the delinquent account list to the County.
