Summary

Harper Woods council authorized the treasurer’s request to transfer delinquent city charges to the winter 2025 tax roll so they become tax liens.
The treasurer’s recommended transfers totaled $99,487.54, broken down in the record as $84,105.54 for miscellaneous city services, $12,365 for special pickups, and $3,017 for meter replacements. Council moved and voted to approve the transfers by resolution.
Council members asked clarifying questions about meter replacement charges and how supplemental meter charges arise; staff said meter charges are typically assessed when damage occurs above and beyond ordinary wear and are not part of the routine meter replacement fund in some cases.
What happens next: The delinquent charges will be placed on the proposed winter tax roll and be collected as tax liens if unpaid; the treasurer will proceed with the administrative transfers authorized by the council.
