Cambridge staff to talk to Home Depot about fountains, but council nixes report on revitalization (CBC)

Councilor Scott Hamilton asked staff to look at the possible costs to revitalize the former Knob Hill Farm fountains.  Mayor Jan Liggett responded in part: 

[Ligget] also urged caution about the financial implications that will come with the motion as the city is facing $39 million in unpaid taxes from 2025 and previous years and more than 6,000 overdue accounts.

Is this level of overdue accounts typical?  I have not concept of how many accounts a City like Cambridge might actually have. Does the 6000 overdue accounts just include City taxes, or are there other types of payments too (eg development fees or parking tickets)?
