Board confirms delinquent South Tahoe refuse fees as special assessments for collection on tax roll
Summary
The Board adopted a resolution to place delinquent mandatory refuse-collection fees for South Tahoe Refuse on the secured tax roll. Environmental Management said the lien process reduced delinquent accounts by ~50% and prevented approximately $146,000 in write-offs over nine years.
Jeff Warren, Environmental Management director, presented the annual report on delinquent mandatory refuse collection fees for the South Lake Tahoe area and recommended adopting a resolution to confirm delinquent amounts as special assessments collected like ad valorem property taxes.
Warren summarized the program's timeline of notices and appeals and said the lien process materially improved collection rates: a roughly 50% decrease in delinquent accounts and a 45% reduction in total delinquent balances over the last nine years, and an estimated $146,000 in bad-debt write-offs prevented. The board approved the recommended resolution to place the listed delinquent amounts on the secured tax roll; the motion passed unanimously.
