92-44 SETTING FEE AMOUNT FOR RECORDING AND RELEASE OF LIENSRESOLUTION No. 92 - 44
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF BAINBRIDGE
ISLAND SETTING FEE AMOUNT FOR THE RECORDING
AND RELEASE OF LIENS.
WHEREAS, Washington State law requires that liens be filed with
the county auditor in order to enforce collection of far delinquent utility
bills, but also provides for the recovery of costs, charges, attorneys fees
and penalties when a utility lien is foreclosed upon; and
WHEREAS, unlike many other cities where the city is relatively
close the the county seat, the City of Bainbridge Island incurs considerable
labor and travel cost to file or remove a lien; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has before it Ordinance 92-26 which,
if passed, would specify that a fee be charged for the filing of a lien and
that a fee be charged for the removal of a lien; now, therefore,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAINBRIDGE ISLAND,
WASHINGTON, DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS :
Section 1. The fee for the filing of a lien with the Kitsap County
Auditor shall be $100.00o
Section 2. The fee for the removal of a lien filed with the Kitsap
County Auditor shall be $100.00.
