ITEM TITLE:
Title
Motion 24-408, approving cancellation of uncollectible Surface Water Management Service Charges
body
DEPARTMENT: Conservation and Natural Resources
ORIGINATOR: Kent Barbeau
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Lacey Harper 9/27/24
PURPOSE: The proposed motion will cancel uncollectible SWM service charges for delinquencies greater than three years where it is not in the public interest to foreclose on the delinquency.
BACKGROUND: The majority of the properties covered by the petition to cancel delinquent Charges are restricted in use by easements or conditions of a subdivision that limit the use of the property to ingress/egress, drainage or open space.
The Charges remain delinquent and unpaid after the Director has made all diligent effort to collect the Charges and has been unable to do so.
Thes properties all have property types that were redesignated in 2013 to a designation that is not charged surface water management service charges such that no further Charges have been incurred on restricted use parcels of this type since that time.
It is not in the public interest to foreclose on said Charges either due to (1) the cost of collection exceeding the value of the property subject to foreclosure where said property has no independent value due to restrictions on use or other limitations arising under conditions of subdivision or other development approval, and/or (2) where foreclosure of that lien created pursuant to Chapter 36.89 RCW would result in liabilities or other obligations being assumed by the County by virtue of acquisition of such real property.
