Clerk/Treasurer reports $55,908.44 in delinquent taxes; city to pursue payment plans and tax sale threshold

Betsy Sullivan reviewed the FY25 budget recap and provided an update on delinquent tax collections, saying total delinquent taxes at the time of the meeting were $55,908.44. She described the collection process, noting that Monahan Safar is sending tax‑collection letters and that property owners who had not entered a payment agreement by Sept. 19 will be referred to tax sale procedures.

Ron Redmond provided the combined Clerk/Treasurer and City Manager report context and reviewed FY25 budget items that were overbudget and the reasons for overruns; council members and visitors offered comments to help update the Terms spreadsheet. The minutes record these reports as informational; no funding action tied directly to the delinquency report was taken at the meeting.
