SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
Attached is a resolution authorizing the write-off of certain uncollectable accounts. A total of 46
invoices representing 16 accounts totaling $4,219.46 have been identified for write-off, since the
last write-off was done in February of 2020.
Delinquent accounts are recommended for write-off for various reasons, including:

2) Bankruptcy (discharge of debt);
3) Death of debtor, and
4) Accounts have been sent to a collection agency and returned as uncollectable.
The large majority of the write-offs meet the 6-year statute of limitations which relate to the billings
done in 2016. Accounts meeting the above listed criteria are included on the proposed, attached
write off list.
With approval of this resolution by Council, the accounts will be removed from the City's accounts
receivable records.
