Title
Vote on a request to approve Utilities Department - Debt Write-off
Abstract
Action Requested: Approval of debt write-off for the Utilities Department
Introduction & Background: Periodically utility accounts are reviewed to determine their collectability. If these accounts are deemed to be uncollectible they are presented to the Commissioners for debt write off.
Discussion & Analysis: Attached is a list of accounts that have had no activity since FY 12-13. Every attempt has been made to collect these past due amounts including notices, telephone calls, and submittal to NC debt set-off. 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.
Budgetary Impact: The write off will reduce current water revenue by $26,103.12.
Recommendation: Approve debt write-off for the Utilities Department
