John Conley, City Manager Agenda Location: Public Hearing SUBJECT: LEVY OF DELINQUENT MANDATORY TRASH CHARGES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022/23 RECOMMENDATION:
1. Open, conduct, and close a Public Hearing to receive public testimony regarding delinquent mandatory trash charges.
2. Adopt City Council Resolution No. 2023- , approving liens on assessor’s parcels within the City of Vista to be collected with the general property taxes on the fiscal year 2023/24 property tax roll for delinquent refuse collection service fees and collection charges.
CORRELATION TO CITY COUNCIL GOALS: Fiscal Responsibility.
PRIOR ACTION: On April 25, 2023, adopted City Council Resolution No. 2023-60, declaring its intent to set a Public Hearing for collection of delinquent solid waste charges; and set June 13, 2023, as the date of the public hearing to levy assessments on the Fiscal Year 2023/24 property tax roll for collection of delinquent Fiscal Year 2022/23 mandatory trash charges (Vote: 4-0, O’Donnell absent).
A comprehensive list of prior City Council actions is included as Exhibit 2.
STATEMENT ON THE SUBJECT: Chapter 13.16 of the Vista Municipal Code provides that the collection of refuse trash is mandatory for all residential, commercial, and industrial properties. Property owners are liable for the payment of trash collection fees.
For Fiscal Year 2022/23, EDCO Waste and Recycling Services, Inc. (EDCO), the City’s franchised trash hauler, has identified 113 delinquent accounts that are more than two months in arrears. A notice was mailed, on March 20, 2023, to all property owners to which trash service was rendered advising them that unpaid accounts would be assigned to the City for collection action and a 10 percent fee would be imposed. Of the 113 accounts provided to the City, many will be paid as a result of the letter sent on March 20, 2023, thus reducing the number of accounts that actually will need to be placed on the upcoming property tax roll.
On April 25, 2023, the City Council set June 13, 2023, as the date of the public hearing for the purpose of levying assessments on the property tax roll for delinquent accounts. Delinquent account property owners have been notified of the public hearing and advised that all remaining unpaid service charges and collection fees owing as of the time of the public hearing will be liened as a special assessment charge on AGENDA

SUBJECT: LEVY OF DELINQUENT MANDATORY TRASH CHARGES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022/23 the 2023/24 property tax roll, along with a $25 lien fee per parcel, in accordance with Section 13.16 of the Vista Municipal Code.
FISCAL IMPACT: As of the writing of this report, 113 delinquent accounts remain unpaid. The 113 delinquent accounts, totaling $25,180, are scheduled for levy on the 2023/24 property tax roll. Of this amount, $20,324 is due to EDCO for trash collection services. The City will retain $2,032 in collection fees and $2,826 in lien fees as revenue to the General Fund. Note that the total of the three individual amounts does not equal the amount placed on the tax roll due to rounding needed to place only "even" amounts on the tax roll. Any account paid in full on or before the end of the business day on June 30, 2023, will not be levied on the property tax roll and will avoid the $25 lien fee.
