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. |
