RECOMMENDATION(S):

AUTHORIZE the discharge from accountability for delinquent accounts transferred from the former Office of Revenue Collection to Animal Services totaling $168,614.47, which have been deemed uncollectible.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The accounts to be discharged total $168,614.47. The past due amounts were transferred from closed accounts which the Office of Revenue Collections was unable to collect. These are 100% user fee funds.

BACKGROUND:

The delinquent accounts contained unpaid fees for services provided by Animal Services. When the accounts were transferred from the Office of Revenue Collection to the department, the department was unable to collect on these accounts. 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:

Animal Services would need additional assistance in the collection process including, but not limited to, legal consultation.
