Board delays tax-roll liens for several delinquent utility accounts, removes two paid accounts

Summary

Following a public hearing on unpaid water and sewer accounts, the Board of Supervisors removed two paid accounts from the lien list and approved a plan to allow payment arrangements for remaining accounts; if arrangements are not made by the court-set deadline, accounts will default to placement on the tax roll.

The Madera County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday held a public hearing on delinquent water and sewer utility fees across multiple maintenance districts, removed two accounts that had been paid in full from the pending tax-roll list and approved allowing repayment arrangements for other account holders who appeared at the hearing.

Andrea Saldate, deputy director with Public Works, told the board the county mailed notices to 596 accounts on July 17; 123 accounts responded by paying in full or entering repayment plans. "At this point on the list there are 473 accounts for a total of $575,000," Saldate said, and she asked the board to remove two recently paid accounts from the posted list: Michael Belton (Parksdale line 30) and Valerie Diaz (Parksdale 3B line 4).
