Home My WebLink AboutX-E-02 Certify Delinquent Utility Billing for CollectionCity Council Memorandum To:Mayor Fasbender & City Councilmembers From:Chris Eitemiller, Finance Manage Kim Niederkorn, Accountant Date:November 17, 2025 Item:Delinquent Utility Billing Certification Council Action Requested: The Council is requested to authorize the Finance Department to certify delinquent utilities to Dakota County. Background Information: In July 2020,City Council approved by ordinance the process for collecting delinquent utilities.This process change resulted in eliminating disconnecting water service for delinquent residents and instead certifying delinquent utilities to the property owner’s tax statement. Per the ordinance, a list of utility accounts with a delinquent balance was compiled and notices dated September 26, 2025,were mailed. These customers were informed of their delinquent status and were asked to make payment of the delinquent balance by October 24,2025. Utility accounts with unpaid delinquent balance are being certified to Dakota County to be added to property taxes payable in 2026. The certification amount is equal to the unpaid delinquent balance. The $50 penalty will be included in each property’s certification. Several of the past due amounts are quite small (as little as $0.75), and the $50 penalty may seem onerous.There are several options tonight: 1.City Council can follow the ordinance as is and certify the entire list. 2.City Council could determine a threshold (for example $30) and certify everything above that amount, plus any “inactive” accounts below that amount. The amounts below the amount would stay in the utility billing system, subject to late fees. Staff would then bring an ordinance in December to enact the threshold as a consistent policy going forward. Regardless of the certification list, any delinquent accounts paid in full prior to certification being filed with Dakota County would be adjusted accordingly.
