Mayor Facilitates POLICY RECOMMENDER: Finance FISCAL IMPACT: NA SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED: As part of the Consent Agenda, the City Council is respectfully requested to consider approval to remove parcel 04.029.21.23.0010 from the 2014 assessment roll with Washington County. BACKGROUND INFORMATION/STAFF REPORT: Residents have the option to either pay the City directly or to pay the County through their tax roll for street assessments. This parcel was sold and the assessment was collected as part of the closing process and forwarded to the City. Since these payments were made before the street assessments were reported to the County, an abatement form needs to be filed with the County in order to update their file and remove these parcels from the on-going tax roll. City Council Meeting [Consent Agenda Item 7] June 17, 2014 -- page 2 -- The outstanding balance should never have been assessed but the current staff was only recently made aware of those issues by the resident. RECOMMENDATION: Based on the fact that two of the assessments have been paid in full, and the other never should have been assessed, it is recommended that the City Council approve Resolution 2014-51 so that an abatement of the assessment can be filed with Washington County.
