#6 Defer special assessments at 426 W Delavan and 3600 Kennedy (File Res. #2009-645)
CLERK-TREASURER MEMORANDUM
October 2, 2009
TO: City Council
FROM: Jean Ann Wulf, City Clerk-Treasurer
SUBJECT: Action on a proposed resolution deferring special assessments for
sidewalk for the properties located at 426 W. Delavan Dr. and 3600
Kennedy Rd. (File Resolution 2009-645)
The property owners residing at 426 W. Delavan Dr. and 3600 Kennedy Rd. have
requested special assessment hardship deferments for sidewalk improvements based on
their current economic status. The special assessments have a current balance of
$1,041.35 and $8,645.00 respectively.
Council Policy Statement No. 63 acknowledges financial hardships where property owners
cannot pay for their special assessments. In the past, the City Council has granted
financial hardship interest-free deferments. These assessments will not be due until the
property owners sell their home. The Neighborhood Services Department staff verified
eligibility by confirming income level of both property owners.
The Administration has prepared Resolution No. 2009-645 which would defer interest free
the special assessments until the properties are sold. We recommend the City Council
adopt this resolution.
Suggested Motion:
I move to adopt Resolution 2009-645 which will defer interest free the special assessments
levied against 426 W. Delavan Dr. ($1,041.35) and 3600 Kennedy Rd ($8,645.00).
