Program Impact
City and Republic Services staff collaborate leading up to the Public Hearing and carry out the lien process per CVMC 13.14.180.
➢ Staff is submitting a lien list containing 408 accounts valued at $107,684 ➢ 24 lien-eligible accounts valued at $7,750 were placed on the payment plans ➢ $383K in past-due bills collected since Initial Past Due Notice sent in January 2026
Recommended Action
Staff recommends City Council adopt a resolution assessing delinquent solid waste service charges as recorded liens upon their respective parcels and placement of those charges on the property tax bill for collection by the County Treasurer-Tax Collector.
