RECOMMENDATION(S):

AUTHORIZE the discharge from accountability for the account of Gina Guisande totaling $1,299, which is not collectible due to one or more of the following reasons: the accounts are being discharged in bankruptcy; the debtors are deceased; the statue of limitations for pursuing recovery of the debt has expired; the cost of recovery is excessive; and/or the debtor no longer resides in the state, as recommended by the Clerk Recorder.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The account to be discharged totals $1,299. This past due amount is for services the County Clerk-Recorder provided during 2012. 100% General Fund.

BACKGROUND:

The department attempted to collect this account multiple times, but is now unable to reach the responsible party. During the most recent department audit, the County Auditor-Controller recommended that the department request a discharge from accountability.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Clerk-Recorder Department will continue to carry the uncollectible account on the books, thereby overstating the receivables.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact.
