The write -off list includes 31 accounts totaling $175,222.51. Typically, once an item has been billed, it takes Council action to remove it from City records. (The Municipal Court Judge has 110 authority to write -off delinquent court related accounts.) This year's write -off is higher than normal, primarily because of a final bankruptcy settlement of a gambling establishment amounting to $160,819 dating from 2005. There are several reasons that accounts are considered uncollectable. The most common include: (1) the statute of limitations time limit for collecting the debt has passed; (2) when bankruptcies occur, and we have an unsecured interest, write -off is recommended; and (3) when the collection agency is not able to actively pursue collection or a court action dismisses the liability. The attached schedule details the accounts recommended for write - off. (Note: the City does not normally record revenue until the time of collection; therefore, this write -off does not "reverse" any revenue already booked.) Staff respectfully submits the attached Resolution, which if approved by Council, would authorize the write -off of these uncollectable accounts on the Schedule attached.
