Payments, delinquent payments, and how to better understand the total structure of the sewer assessments was discussed. Redmond is liable for a $60,000 payment to retire the bonds used to put in their sewer facility six years ago. The last two years approximately $30,000 has had to be used from other departments in the city to help make their annual payment and Mayor Natan Anderson stated that it looked like they would have to find an additional $10,000 this year. Delinquent payers of their annual assessments amounted to 35 a few weeks ago. This number has been reduced to eighteen after receiving payments or setting up a payment schedule to bring the account current. The delinquent pay ments add up to about $30,000 or about $1,600 each. The council discussed their next steps in collecting these delinquent accounts. Attorney Mike Jorgensen, acting on behalf of Redmond explained that ncx t was to file a complaint. Then a 45 day waiting period would go into effect where the landowner responsible for the assessment could appear and take care of their obligations plus penalties and interest. After this period of time the property is then defaulted to the city where they infact ow n the property. There is another space of time allowed for the accounts to be brought up current before the lots can be sold. The council felt good that the number of delinquent accounts had been reduced from 35 over the past few weeks and they discussed the remaining 18 who have not even contacted the city to make arrangements to pay.
