SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
Attached is a resolution authorizing the write-off of certain uncollectable parking citations owed to
the City's Parking Division and General Fund. This write-off list covers a period from 1988
through part of 2000 and amounts to a total write-off of $133,127. (The write-off of unpaid
parking citations has not occurred since the early 1980's; in the future, write-offs will be reviewed
on an annual basis.) A list detailing the citation number, license number, citation amounts, late
penalties and balances due is available from the Customer Service Manager upon request.
The total amount of revenue generated from parking citations from 1988 through 1999 is
$1,816,231. A total of 5,639 citations and $133,127 is scheduled to be written off. This write-off
represents approximately 6% of the total revenues generated.
Citations on the write-off list consist of those that have been sent to a collection agency and
returned as uncollectable; citations uncollectable beyond the statute of limitations of six years;
citations that have been included in a bankruptcy with a discharge of debt or in some instances
citations where the registered owner information is incorrect and neither the City nor collection
agency has been able to locate them.
