To: Mayor Fasbender & City Council Members
From: Chris Eitemiller, Finance Manager & Ashley DeBernardi, Assistant Finance Manager
Date: September 15, 2025
Item: Remove Green Acres Special Assessments from Deferred Assessments Role
Council Action Requested:
Approve the removal of all Green Acres Deferred Special Assessments
Background Information:
There are twelve outstanding special deferred (Green Acre) special assessments that the City is unable to
collect on. These assessments were assessed between the years 1969-1982. Due to limited record
keeping at that time, we are unsure of the statue these assessments were assessed under. Since we
cannot confirm the statue, City Attorney suggests that we write off these assessments.
Financial Impact:
As mentioned above, there are twelve assessments that need to be written off:
