TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMEBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: KIRBY J. WARNER, DIRECTOR OF GENERAL SERVICES
SUBJECT: CHARGES FOR ASSESSMENT PARCEL INFORMATION
DATE: JULY 24, 1987
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that City Council , by Minute Motion, authorize
the imposition of a $15 . 00 fee for Assessment Parcel pay off
information.
DISCUSSION:
We receive numerous calls and written requests from Title
Companies, Real Estate Offices and Escrow Companies requesting
payoff information for Assessment District Bonds.
This is a very time consuming process , involving lengthy
calculations . Other cities are charging for this information.
Indian Wells charges $15.00 and Rancho Mirage recently implemented
a $15 . 00 per parcel charge. Owners of property will not be
charged when requesting this information for their own use.
We would be billing the title companies monthly and Real Estate
Offices and Escrow Companies will be requested to send a check
with their request. The money would be placed in the General Fund
revenues in order to offset staff time spent servicing a specific,
special benefit program.
Respectfully submitted, Reviewed and Concur,
