Quincy council authorizes liens for property cleanup and unpaid utilities totaling $6,838.70
Summary
The council approved placing liens against three properties: Dale Clary ($3,200) for unpaid cleanup, Anita Norman ($3,357) for unreported utility usage, and L. B. Smith ($281.70) for unpaid utility charges; Solicitor Fansler will file the liens.
The Village of Quincy council voted Oct. 1 to assess liens on three properties to recover cleanup and unpaid utility charges.
Solicitor Steve Fansler presented the resolution. The council approved placing a $3,200 lien on property owned by Dale Clary to recoup the cost of hiring Bobcat Multi-Works to clean the Allentown property after repeated notices and extensions. Council also approved a $3,357 lien against Anita Norman’s property for a period when utility usage was not reported and assessed, and a $281.70 lien on property owned by L. B. Smith for delinquent utility usage; in that case a vehicle parked over the shutoff valve prevented service termination until the vehicle is moved or towed. Millard Shaffer moved to adopt the resolution; Paul Brown seconded. The verbal vote was recorded as John Hickman Aye, Robert Ward Aye, Dawn Smith Aye, Sheryl Hatfield Aye, Millard Shaffer Aye, and Paul Brown Aye.
Fansler will file the liens for placement on real-estate tax records. The minutes note the Clary property cleanup followed multiple notices over several years and that the village contracted Bobcat Multi-Works to complete the work after the owner did not comply. Council records will reflect filing dates and lien amounts in the permanent record.
The council also considered other financial items on the consent agenda at the Oct. 1 meeting, including routine approval of minutes and payment of presented bills.
