Place liens on properties with unpaid garbage collection fees
Resolution 20-15
In Plain English
Some property owners have not paid their garbage collection bills. The city can place liens on these properties so the unpaid fees get added to their county property tax bills. If approved, property owners must pay the garbage fees when they pay property taxes.

Why This Vote Matters
The council approved placing liens on properties with unpaid garbage collection fees, with Councilmember Nat Bates casting the lone dissenting vote. This means property owners who haven't paid their trash bills will have those debts added to their county property tax bills, making the fees mandatory to pay along with property taxes. The measure gives the city a stronger way to collect overdue garbage fees from residents who have fallen behind on payments. This was part of routine administrative business to help the city recover money it's owed for services already provided.
