SUMMARY EXPLANATION:

Attached is a Resolution authorizing the annual write-off of uncollectable parking accounts.

1. The Statute of Limitations (six (6) years or older) has been met; $1924.02

2. Bankruptcy (discharge of debt); $70.00

 

Parking citations are not booked as revenue until payment is received. This is presented to council in order to maintain transparency.
