Title
Vote to approve Chatham County Tax Department utility bill debt write-off for delinquent utility bills
Abstract
Action Requested: Vote to approve debt write-off for delinquent utility bills.
Introduction & Background: Periodically utility accounts are reviewed to determine their collectability. If these accounts are deemed to be uncollectable, they are presented to the Commissioners for debt write-off.
Discussion & Analysis: Attached is a list of accounts that have had no activity since 2019. Every attempt has been made to collect the past due amounts including notices, and telephone calls. Any activity in the customer’s account after the write-off shall reactivate the debt and no new service will be provided until the balance is paid in full.
How does this relate to the Comprehensive Plan: N/A
Budgetary Impact: The write-off will reduce current water revenue by $20,870.96.
Recommendation: Motion to approve debt write-off for the utility bills for the Tax Department.
