SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Staff recommends City Council approval of the attached Resolutions:
* Resolution Overruling Protests; and
* Resolution Imposing liens for the non-payment of delinquent solid waste service charges, Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA) fees, code compliance administrative penalties and charges, planning permits, and sidewalk repairs

Approval of the Resolutions will permit the City to place these delinquent charges on the applicable Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Alameda County secured property tax bills.

BACKGROUND
The San Leandro Municipal Code provides that delinquent 2021 solid waste service charges, Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA) fees, code compliance administrative penalties and charges, planning permit fees, and sidewalk repairs 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 19, 2021, for the services received, although ongoing attempts have been made to collect the balances due.

A list of unpaid business license accounts is usually included in the July report to the City Council. San Leandro businesses have been adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Staff and the City's business license consultant continue to work with businesses to help them achieve compliance. The City will also continue to waive the penalties if requested by businesses. Special assessments will be included in the fiscal year 2022-2023 tax rolls if there remain unpaid accounts from 2021 business license renewals.
