AND APPROVING PLACEMENT OF DELINQUENT

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 bills for collection; and
WHEREAS, the ordinance states that upon notification of the property owners, a public
hearing is set for sewer service accounts which are over sixty days delinquent; and
WHEREAS, at the heazing, the City Council considers the delinquent accounts together
with any objections or protests by interested parties; and
WHEREAS, at the conclusion of the heazing, 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, many of these property owners have gone through this lien process
previously as they continue to leave their sewer service accounts unpaid; and
WHEREAS, these property owners have been notified of their delinquencies within the
last sixty days, were notified of the public hearing and were again asked to pay their delinquent
sewer service charges to avoid a lien being placed on their property; and
WHEREAS, staff is recommending that the City Council approve the final list of
delinquent sewer accounts as submitted, and that these chazges be forwazded to the County and
assessed as liens on the respective owner occupied parcels of land and ultimately placed on the
next regular tax bill for collection.

that it (1) conducts the public hearing to consider assessing delinquent sewer service chazges as
liens on the affected properties; (2) overrules any and all protests or objections presented at the
