Box 66 Orono, MN 55356 Crysfal Bay, MN 55323•0066 August 4, 1999 Lee Ganz � 2738 Winnetka Ave North ' New Hope, MN 55427 ' Dear Mr. Ganz; Enclosed is a detailed analysis of the billings for 2570 Lydiard Ave. starting with the final billing to R. Ruhle in June, 1997,through to the certification of all delinquencies in October, 1998. You , aze responsible for all charges beginning on September 2, 1997,the date you purchased the property. � Those charges including penalties total$522.51. Interest charges accnung since the certification of those delinquent amounts to the County total $50.27. The total amount you are responsible for is ' � $572.78. � � The City is legally within its right to collect the charges in full. However,because of the unusual ; circumstances involved in this case,the City Administrator,in order to resolve the issue in a timely � fashion,and as a good will gesture,has authorized that all penalties and interest be waived, and that � one half of the delinquent charges through September 2, 1997, also be waived. Your total !, responsibility of$572.78 has been reduced by $142.83,therefore,the net amount you now owe is �, $429.95. Because the taxes and assessments are being remitted to the county from your mortgage company I have not asked the county to issue a revised 1999 real estate tax statement for this property. It will i be less confusing if your mortgage company remits the taxes when due this year, and you will be I directly reimbursed by Tom Ryan for the amount agreed upon between the City and Ryan. You � should receive$306.17 from Ryan, if you have not already received it. I am enclosing a letter sent to Ryan from the City on July 28th. � In addition the City will cover the amounts waived by the City for both your shaze and Ryan's share. , The amounts waived total $602.98. Please refer to the enclosed analysis. � As I informed you eazlier the account in question is currently in arrears,no payments have been made since the certification to the county. At this time the arrears, including penalties, total $641.40. Further penalties will accrue as of August 25th. Telephone(612)249-4600 • Fax(612)249-4616 . . �`'i#r., '. Since the City has agreed to waive$602.98,and the 2570 Lydiard account is in arrears$641.40,we propose that the amount the City has waived be applied to the arrears balance. This will reduce the arrears to $38.42`as of August 25, 1999. If we do not hear from you before August 25th we will assume the proposal is agreeable to you . and will apply a credit of$602.98 to the 2570 Lydiard account. Please note that the certification process for delinquent unpaid accounts will be starting in September for collection with the taxes in 2000. The City will not waive any further amounts on this account. Current City Ordinance provides that the property owner has primary responsibility for all utility chazges for the premises served and is to be billed to the owner unless otherwise authorized in writing by the tenant and owner and consented to by the City. Effective with the bill for the quarter ended September 30, 1999,the billing will be sent to you, absent the required authorization. Thank you for your patience while this matter was being resolved. If you have any questions,please call me. Sincerely, Thomas M. Kuehn Finance Director enc. cc: City Administrator UB Account file J,S�r�et file „ . , ;.
