AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No. 7.D.
For Meeting of: March 19, 2024
ITEM TITLE: Resolution authorizing the write-off of certain uncollectable parking
citations
SUBMITTED BY: *Rosylen Oglesby, Interim Director of Finance and Budget
Anabel Chavez, Utility Services Manager
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 3 citations totaling $105 (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; $105.
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.
