Summary:
The City Clerk’s Office is reporting the levy assessments against lots, pieces and parcels of land located in the City of Olathe, Kansas, to collect unpaid city expenditures for the mowing of weeds and removal of debris.
The City has provided the services necessary for the upkeep of property. The owners have been sent proper invoices and notices and the accounts have not been paid.
This year’s proceedings to date include 150 parcels for $65,924.26. It should be noted that the final amount to be assessed in August will likely increase as additional mowing of properties occur in the summer time. The amounts certified for collection with Johnson County Records and Tax Administration in past years are as follow:
2018 107 parcels for $ 30,035.14
2017 97 parcels for $ 49,194.13

2015 128 parcels for $ 51,605.55
2014 194 parcels for $103,328.00
Staff will provide a resolution at the June 18 Council meeting calling for a public hearing. The public hearing will be scheduled for July 16, 2019. The Council will be provided an assessment ordinance for consideration on August 6, 2019. The ordinance will be to consider levying assessments to collect the costs and expenses incurred by the city for mowing of weeds and removal of debris in accordance with Sections 6.06.130 and 6.09.120 of the Olathe Municipal Code.
