782 delinquent utility accounts totaling $268,454 were placed on property tax rolls. Landlord Valerie Perillus protested that unpaid tenant water bills become liens on her property, and staff explained a 2018 shared-responsibility ordinance.

Sewer repair special assessments
Property owners in the affected areas will see special assessments on their tax bills to pay for sewer repairs, approved after a public hearing.
