Adoption of this resolution will enhance the collection process for delinquent solid waste service charges by reducing the amount of uncollectible losses and ensure that payment will be received on a more timely basis. This is the identical process approved by City Council on a regular basis since mid- 2001. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Environmental Rcview Coordinator has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378 (b)(4) of the State CEQA Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to Section l5060(c)(3) of the State CEQA 9-1 JULY 13, 2010 Item~ Page 2 of3 Guidelines the activity IS not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is necessary. RECOMMENDATION Council conduct the public hearing and adopt the resolution. BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDA nON Not applicable. DISCUSSION In November 1998, City Council amended Municipal Code Section 8.24 to eliminate suspension of solid waste service for nonpayment. To ensure that all residents pay their fair share of the costs of this program, the ordinance allows delinquent solid waste service charges to be assessed as recorded liens upon the affected properties and ultimately placed on the property tax bills for collection. 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. At the hearing the City Council considers the delinquent accounts together with any objections or protests by interested parties. At the conclusion of the hearing, the City Council may either approve the delinquency and amount owcd on the accounts as submitted or as modified or corrected by the City Council. Lastly, the City Council adopts a rcsolution assessing such amounts as recorded liens upon the respective parcels of land, and the amounts are charged to the property owners on the next regular property tax bill. As these amounts are collected, the monies are remitted to Allied Waste Services less the City's Franchise Fees, AB939 fees and late charges. In May 2010, City Council approved 547 delinquent accounts valued at $80,300 to be placed on the property tax bills for collection. Since then, Allied Waste Services has identified and submitted an additional 1,226 delinquent accounts valued at over $127,600 to the city for collection. Through the City's preliminary collection etlorts, 1,005 accounts have been resolved, and the remaining 221 accounts valued at $28,400 are now being submitted (listing available at the Finance Department). The account status and property ownership on these accounts havc been verified by both Allied Waste and City staff. While many of these delinquent accounts have gone through the lien process before as they continue to remain unpaid, the total number of delinquent accounts being submitted for the lien process continues to climb. These 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. City staff sent out past due letters within the past 60 days, and two weeks ago, thesc property owners were notified of the public hearing and 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. City staff has been working with Allied Waste to resolve any customer disputes as they arise and payment arrangements have been set up as needed. Staff will continue to update this list as 9-2 JULY 13, 2010 Item~ Page 3 of 3 payments are received and accounts are cleared. A final list will be submitted to the City Council for consideration on the day of the public hearing in order to reflect the most current payment postings. StatI 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 recorded liens on the respective parcels of land and ultimately placed on the next regular tax bill for collection. DECISION MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found no property holdings within 500 feet of the boundaries of the properties which are the subject of this action. This conflict check was conducted based on Council member McCaun's property holdings as of July 21,2009, prior to his temporary departure from the Council for active military duty. CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT By using the property tax bill as the ultimate collection method for delinquent solid waste service charges, the City should realize a total of approximately $60,000 in Franchise Fees, AB939 Fees and late charges for Fiscal Year 2010/2011. From this action alone, the City should realize approximately $5,400 in revenues from the total $28,400 collected, and the balance of $23,000 would bc forwarded to Allied Waste Services. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT There is no ongoing fiscal impact from this action.
