Matter of Imposing Liens for Non-Payment of Delinquent City Service Charges. This being the time and place for the Public Hearing on the above matter, John Jermanis, Finance Director, gave the staff report. He described the four categories of delinquent charges and said the lists must be submitted to the County Auditor by next week in order to place the liens on the 1994-95 tax bills. He noted that no written or oral protests had been received. In response to City Council questions, he said most of the delinquencies are for sewer service, and people who have delinquencies in refuse are generally asked to pay cash in order to continue their refuse service, but sewer service cannot be discontinued. He said these liens do not include the charges that automatically go on the tax bills but are additional amounts that are due and include interest. The Hearing was then opened to the public.
