Northfield resolution would certify delinquent sewer-fee accounts to county tax rolls
Summary
Resolution 2021-32 would permit the finance director or sewer-fee collection agent to certify unpaid sewer maintenance charges under Chapter 1042 to the Summit County Fiscal Officer for placement on the tax duplicate; attached Exhibit A lists numerous 2020 parcel balances.
Resolution 2021-32, on the Sept. 8, 2021 agenda, would authorize the Village’s finance director and/or its sewer maintenance fee collection agent to certify delinquent sewer maintenance fee bills to the Summit County Fiscal Officer for placement on the tax duplicate and collection.
The resolution cites Chapter 1042 of the Codified Ordinances and states that such charges are a lien on the premises, permitting certification to the county with applicable interest and penalties. The measure is described as an emergency so certification can meet the deadline for inclusion on December property tax bills.
Attached Exhibit A (transcript excerpts) lists many parcels and per-parcel balances for Tax Year 2020; the exhibit concludes with a cumulative total listed in the document. The resolution language provided in the meeting materials does not include a recorded vote or any council debate in the supplied segments.
If enacted, the finance director would be authorized to forward the named delinquent sewer accounts to the Summit County Fiscal Officer for collection with property taxes. The transcript does not indicate whether council approved the measure at this session or whether amendments were proposed.
