Adopt Resolution No. 43-10 authorizing placement of liens and special assessments for unpaid garbage collection service fees on County property tax records

Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously approved a plan to collect unpaid garbage fees through property tax bills. Property owners who haven't paid their garbage collection fees will now have those debts added to their annual property tax statements, which the county will collect on the city's behalf. This is a standard administrative tool that cities use to recover money owed for services, essentially turning unpaid garbage fees into a lien against the property. The measure ensures the city can recoup costs for waste collection services that have already been provided.
