The assessments for PID #2 are payable on or before February 28 (instead of January 31), 1991; 2. Assessments shall be delinquent if not paid before March 1 (instead of February 1), 1991; and 3. The entire amount assessed against each parcel of property shall bear interest from and afte r March 1 (instead of February 1), 1991, at a rate of 10°6 per annum until paid. DISCUSSION: The first assessments for PID #2 were levied on December 18, 1990 (Ordinance No. 10754, M&C G-8974). Because most of the property is single family residential, many property owners are needing a period of time to clarify if the assessments are to be paid by a mortgage company from funds in an escrow account or by the property owner. The February 1 deadline w as used because it is the deadline used for City taxes and other special assessment districts. However, property owners have received notice of their taxes and/or other special assessments earlier in the year. Because this is the first year for PID #2 and notices were sent during the holidays, it is recommended that for this initial year an additional month be granted before accounts become delinquent and begin to accrue interest.
