BACKGROUND
The San Leandro Municipal Code provides that delinquent 2014 business license tax, solid waste service charges, sidewalk repairs, CUPA fees, and community compliance code enforcement charges shall become a lien on the real property at which the service was received. A detailed listing of all delinquent accounts for each category type is attached. The accounts listed have not been paid as of July 21, 2014, for the services received, although ongoing attempts have been made to collect the balances due.
Businesses were sent an annual business license and fee renewal notice in December 2013 and a final notice in March 2014. In June 2014, a Notice of Violation letter was sent to businesses and property owners that have not renewed their license or that have a balance due, as well as notification of the July 21, 2014 public hearing.
Alameda County Industries (ACI) conducts all solid waste activities on behalf of the City of San Leandro. In accordance with the San Leandro Municipal Code, ACI has provided the requisite notices regarding the conduct of a public hearing to lien delinquent accounts.
