City Tree Pruning Beginning November, the City of Quincy will be pruning trees within the City right of way. This will result in temporary street/sidewalk and alley closures as crews work. Workers may be asking people parked near trees to move their cars to prevent damage and allow access to the trees. If you see crews near where you normally park, please park in a safe area away from operations. If you would prefer to prune your own tree, please contact the City at 509-787-3523 ext. 253, and request to have your tree skipped. Thank you for your patience and assistance with this operation.

Trowbridge and: This letter is providing you with notice that the Board of Directors of the East Columbia Basin Irrigation District (“District”) has authorized the commencement of a legal action to foreclose the delinquent assessment lien against your property described as: [Address/legal description] Our records indicate you have unpaid irrigation district assessments against these parcels for years 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 in the amount $5,566.73, which includes the title search for preparation of the enclosed Certificate of Delinquency. Before we begin the foreclosure action we encourage you to pay the unpaid assessments in order to avoid further foreclosure expenses for which you will be responsible to pay. We have prepared the Certificate of Delinquency as the first step in commencing the foreclosure action. Before filing the Certificate with the Grant County Superior Court, we will publish this Certificate in the Columbia Basin Herald, September 26, 2024. A minimum payment amount of $5,566.37 must be paid three (3) days before the newspaper publishing date in order to cancel the publication. The minimum amounts include assessments prior to 2024, interest, and collection costs up through the date of this letter. After the Certificates are published in the newspaper, they will be filed with the Grant County Superior Court and the foreclosure action will begin. If the minimum amount of $5,566.37 plus additional costs up to the date of filing (including a publication fee of $____) are paid before the Certificates are filed, the foreclosure action will stop. If the minimum payment amount is not received before the Certificates are filed with the Court, the assessments for all unpaid years, interest, and all costs will need to be paid to stop the foreclosure action. This is a serious matter which requires your attention. If you have any questions or would like to make arrangements for payment, please contact Linda Sierra or AnneMarie Owensby at the District office at (509)488-9671. Sincerely, Rosa Dekker Treasurer #10015/28276 Pub: October 7, 2024
