During a recent city council meeting, officials addressed several key resolutions aimed at managing past due charges and maintaining local infrastructure.

The meeting commenced with a public hearing regarding Resolution 25-78, which certifies a list of past due code enforcement charges. Code Enforcement Manager Josh Hurley presented the resolution, which seeks to place liens on properties with outstanding charges and include these amounts on the secured tax roll for collection alongside general taxes. The council opened the floor for public comment but received no requests to speak. Following this, the council unanimously approved the resolution, acknowledging Hurley's efforts in enforcing city codes.

Next on the agenda was Resolution 24-73, concerning the storm drain maintenance district. Senior Finance Analyst Mark Rodeville confirmed that there would be no increases to the assessment for Raley's Landing. This routine item is necessary for compliance with county requirements, allowing the assessment to be placed on the tax roll. Again, no public comments were made, and the council approved the resolution without opposition.

Rodeville also presented Resolution 24-72, which pertains to the landscaping and lighting district. Similar to the previous item, this resolution confirmed the assessment without imposing any increases. The council moved to approve this resolution as well, maintaining the district's current assessment structure.

Lastly, Finance Supervisor Angie Familia discussed Resolution 24-80, which involves certifying delinquent charges for water, sewer, and refuse services. Familia reported that the total delinquent amount has decreased to $483,522, attributed to the city receiving $1.1 million from the state's water and wastewater arrearage program. This funding provided credits to customers who were past due during the COVID-19 pandemic. The council approved the resolution, allowing the city to place liens on properties with unpaid utility charges.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the city's ongoing efforts to manage delinquent charges and maintain essential services while ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
