CityCouncil | 2005-06-21 | 7 | The Public Works Director stated that the Council could make a motion to adopt the resolution and give staff two weeks to resolve the issues; if the issues are not resolved, a lien would be placed on the properties. The Acting City Manager requested that the two written communications presented to Council tonight be included with the speakers' requests for staff review. Councilmember deHaan stated better communication regarding the new contract requirements is needed; inquired whether collection through property taxes has been done before. The Public Works Director responded that collection of payment through property taxes has not been done in the seven years he has been with the City. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether it is the City's responsibility to determine how outstanding bills are resolved. The Public Works Director responded in the affirmative; stated that delinquent accounts would be included in the next rate review in a year and a half; any garbage fees that are not collected is passed on to the rate payers; rates would be increased because the City is required to compensate ACI for the service. Mayor Johnson stated that the problem is that everyone who pays their bill subsidizes those who do not. The Public Works Director stated that 23 residents on the list included in the staff report have paid. The Acting City Manager suggested that the Council adopt the Resolution with direction for staff to resolve issues of concern raised by residents tonight and provide a status on said claims within two weeks. Councilmember Matarrese moved adoption of the resolution, including the Acting City Manager's suggestion [to direct staff to resolve issues of concern and provide a status on said claims within two weeks]. Vice Mayor Gilmore seconded the motion. Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 7 June 21, 2005 | CityCouncil/2005-06-21.pdf |
