Place liens on properties with unpaid garbage collection bills
In Plain English
Property owners who haven't paid their garbage collection fees will have liens placed on their homes. The city can add these unpaid bills to property tax records, where they earn interest until paid. If approved, the county collects the debt when property taxes are due.

Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously approved placing liens on properties where owners haven't paid their garbage collection bills. This allows the city to add unpaid trash fees to property tax records, where they will earn interest until the debt is settled. Property owners will then pay these fees along with their regular property taxes, giving the city a more reliable way to collect what's owed. This is a standard debt collection tool that cities use for various unpaid fees and services.
