To: Board of Supervisors
From: Ben Winkleblack, Animal Services Director
Report Title: Discharge from accountability the delinquent accounts totaling $223,470.66
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
AUTHORIZE the discharge from accountability for the delinquent accounts totaling $223,470.66, which have been deemed uncollectible, as recommended by the Animal Services Director.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The accounts to be discharged total $224,470.66 and were unable to be collected. These are 100% user fee revenues.
BACKGROUND:
The delinquent accounts contained unpaid fees for services provided by Animal Services. From January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2020, the Department could not collect on these accounts through its debt collection service agency. The likelihood of collection on these closed accounts does not warrant the expense involved. Therefore, the Department is requesting a discharge from accountability.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The Department will continue to have delinquent accounts on record that are unable to collect.
