File Number: 25-349 <br />Leandro Municipal Code. <br />The final stage involves City Council holding a public hearing, passing a resolution to overrule <br />protests, and adopting a resolution authorizing the assessment of delinquent charges on the tax <br />roll, allowing the Alameda County Tax Collector to incorporate these assessments into property <br />tax bills. <br />This approach ensures financial accountability and provides a structured mechanism for the City <br />to recover costs associated with unpaid service charges. <br />DISCUSSION <br />Delinquent accounts proposed for liens cover solid waste (refuse) service charges, <br />sidewalk/driveway repairs for property owners completed by the City, Certified Unified Program <br />Agency (CUPA) fees, building code violation and code compliance citation fees, fire inspections, <br />and WPCP commercial and industrial user charges. The delinquent amounts become an <br />assessment lien on the real property where the service was received. The summary of all <br />delinquent accounts for each category type is shown below. Amounts shown have not been paid <br />as of July 9, 2025, although ongoing and continuing attempts have been made to collect overdue <br />balances. <br />Statements for May, June and July 2025 with overdue amounts include lien information and the <br />public hearing date. Delinquent accounts arise from the following services: <br />·Alameda County Industries (ACI) provides refuse collection (solid waste) in the City. In <br />accordance with the San Leandro Municipal Code, ACI bills accounts and provides the <br />required notices regarding the public hearing and lien. This year ’s list includes a slightly <br />longer collection period due to timing alignment with the new ACI agreement that went into <br />effect February 1st. <br />·Major repairs to sidewalks and driveways undertaken by the City (repairing street tree <br />related sidewalk damage is shared) pursuant to or in accordance with an agreement with <br />the property owner in compliance with the City Sidewalk/Driveway Repair Program. <br />·The City enforces environmental laws in its role as a Certified Unified Program Agency <br />(CUPA) with CalEPA CUPA Surcharge Fees. These are primarily regulatory inspections, <br />permits, and enforcement of businesses with underground storage tanks. <br />·Building Code violation and Code Compliance enforcement citation fees, including <br />administrative penalties and charges. Note: $831,000 is associated with 1 account that is <br />working with the City to bring into compliance. Monies spent on compliance and <br />development efforts will be put towards charges. The City anticipates coming to a <br />successful resolution without need to submit the account to lien. <br />·Fire Inspections - Annual R 2 fire inspections (multiple family dwellings with 3 or more <br />units). <br />·WPCP Commercial and Industrial User and Connection Charges. Note: The City <br />anticipates these accounts will be paid before the deadline to submit to the County. <br />Analysis <br />Page 2 City of San Leandro Printed on 9/4/2025
