RESOLUTION NO. 2007-280
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA ASSESSING CERTAIN 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 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 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 on these accounts have been
verified by both Allied Waste and City staff; and
WHEREAS, property owners were 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 hearing 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 accounts, as submitted, and that these charges be forwarded to the County
and assessed as record liens on the respective parcels of land and ultimately placed on the next
regular tax bill for collection.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council of the City of Chula Vista
does hereby: (1) conduct 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
submitted to the City Council and on file in the City Finance Department, assessing delinquent
solid waste service charges as 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.
