AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No. 7.E.
For Meeting of: March 4, 2025
ITEM TITLE: Resolution authorizing the write-off of certain uncollectable parking
citations
SUBMITTED BY: Mike Bailey, Interim Director of Finance & Budget
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
Attached is a Resolution authorizing the annual write-off of uncollectable parking accounts.
Following City staff collection efforts and collection notices, accounts were sent to a collection agency;
these are what remain unpaid after six years. A total of 14 citations totaling $687.85 (including
penalties), are included for write-off with this resolution. Delinquent accounts for which collection efforts
have been terminated are analyzed each year to determine eligibility for write-off. Accounts meeting the
criteria listed below are included on the proposed write-off list which is attached:
1. The Statute of Limitations (six (6) years or older) has been met; $ 687.85
2. Bankruptcy (discharge of debt); None.
Following City Council approval by the attached Resolution, these accounts will be removed from the
City's accounts receivable records. The current parking citation system employs a program administered
by the Washington State Department of Licensing (DOL)whereby the City submits unpaid citation
information to the state. If a person has received at least 2 citations within 120 days of renewal of their
vehicle registration, they are required to pay their fines to the reporting jurisdiction before they can
register their vehicle.
