SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS

* Resolution Overruling Protests
* Resolution Imposing liens for the non-payment of delinquent 2015 business license tax, solid waste service charges, sidewalk repairs, Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA) fees, and community compliance code enforcement charges

Approval of the Resolutions at the close of the public hearing will permit the City to place these delinquent charges on the applicable fiscal year 2015-16 Alameda County secured property tax bills.

BACKGROUND
The San Leandro Municipal Code provides that delinquent 2015 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 20, 2015, 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 2014 and a final notice in March 2015. In June 2015, 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 20, 2015 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.
