AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No q C -
For Meeting Of 12/5/00
ITEM TITLE: Consideration of Resolution Authorizing Write -Off of Uncollectable
Central Receivable Accounts
SUBMITTED BY: Department of Finance and Budget
CONTACT PERSON/TELEPHONE: Cindy Epperson, 575-6070
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
Periodically, Finance reviews Accounts Receivable balances and recommends that
Council write-off certain accounts. The last write-off was approved in May of 1998, and
consisted of 111 accounts totaling $134,627. Currently, we have identified 11 accounts
ranging from $9.28 to $1,898.87 for a total of $7,898.73 to be written off. Typically,
once an item has been billed, it takes Council action to remove it from our records.
There are several reasons that accounts are considered uncollectable. Normally, the
most common is that the billing has been outstanding for so long that it has passed the
statute of limitations time limit for collecting the debt. When bankruptcies occur, and
we have an unsecured interest, write-off is recommended. When the collection agency
is not able to actively pursue collection or a court action dismisses the liability; they
notify the City that the account is uncollectable. On rare occasions, divisions may
request a billing in error. These are included in the miscellaneous column.
The attached resolution would authorize the write-off of uncollectable accounts from
Central Receivables, and we are respectfully submitting it for Council's review and
adoption.
