ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
MEETING DATE: July 23, 2025 AGENDA CATEGORY: Consent - Resolution TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Kristina Budak, Water Director
DATE: July 7, 2025
SUBJECT: Resolution providing for the collection of delinquent sewer charges on the Fiscal Year 2025-26 property tax roll.
[Document Description]
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommend adoption of the resolution.
BACKGROUND:
Annual fees for residential and commercial sewer flat rates are billed on the Kern County property tax roll each fiscal year. However, new accounts added throughout the year are billed pro-rata by the City until the start of the next fiscal year. Some of these bills remain unpaid and become delinquent. This resolution allows for the collection of delinquent pro-rata charges by the Kern County Auditor- Controller’s Office as a one-time billing on the tax roll, where delinquent fees are then remitted to the City as taxes are paid.
To date, $102,216.26 remains delinquent. City staff proposes placing these delinquent charges on the Fiscal Year 2025-26 property tax roll.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The collected revenue will be allocated to the Sewer Enterprise Fund, therefore there is no impact to the General Fund associated with this resolution.
COUNCIL GOAL:
Reliable Infrastructure
