Recommendation
Adopt Resolution No. 2025-039, of the City Council of the City of Fontana, California, directing the placement of rubbish charges on the property tax bills for collection.
End
COUNCIL GOALS:
• To operate in a businesslike manner by becoming more service oriented.
DISCUSSION:
The City, on behalf of Burrtec, processes payments for current annual rubbish services and prior year rubbish liens that have been received through property tax payments. The County Auditor-Controller requires that the City provide an annual resolution to place rubbish charges on the property tax bills. The attached resolution provides for the following, as approved by the City Council on April 4, 1995, for the 2025/2026 property tax bills:
1. Mandatory tax roll billing of rubbish charges for current residential customers
2. Mandatory tax roll billing of rubbish charges for those customers that have unpaid liens.
Mandatory placement of tax roll billing for all residential customers is a requirement per the Second Amendment to the Integrated Solid Waste Agreement between the City of Fontana and Burrtec Waste Industries, Inc. dated February 27, 2024. Mandatory tax roll placement became effective in the 2024/2025 fiscal year and will continue each consecutive fiscal year.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This action will help ensure collection of outstanding receivables in a timely manner. County cost of $0.30 per parcel will be included with charges on the property tax bill. Actual amounts will be determined and applied to tax bills directly by Burrtec. Previous year total was approximately $20,926,707.27 applied to 47,874 properties.
MOTION:
Approve staff recommendation.
