POLICY RECOMMENDER: Washington County/Finance Director
FISCAL IMPACT: $70.97
SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED: Washington County contacted the City of Lake Elmo Finance Director to provide notice that parcel id #34.029.21.43.0002 was recently reclassified to an exempt status. Washington County needs the Lake Elmo City Council to
approve the removal of this parcel from the 2014 tax roll since it previously approved the
delinquent Storm Water fees to be assessed on October 1, 2013. LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: NA
BACKGROUND INFORMATION (SWOT): Strengths Our records will be up to date and match Washington County.
Weaknesses No longer able to assess the outstanding balance as a result of the parcel being classified as exempt.
Opportunities The Finance Department will continue to actively pursue direct collection of
these fees as the amount will remain outstanding and due to the City.
Threats With no ability to file a lien on the parcel the collectability is no longer guaranteed.
