RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Director of Airports, or designee, to write off certain accounts receivable balances which are not collectible due to one or more of the following reasons: debtors are deceased; the statute 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.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There will be no impact to the General Fund. The value of the accounts to be discharged totals $5,315.94 which impacts the Airport Enterprise Fund.

BACKGROUND:

Airport staff has received confirmation that these accounts in the system are not recoverable due to one or more of the following reasons: debtors are deceased; the statute of limitations for pursuing recovery of bad debt has expired; the cost of recovery is excessive; and/or the debtor no longer resides in the state. As based on the stated facts, airport staff should write off these uncollectable accounts.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Airport Enterprise Fund will not reflect an accurate recoverable account balance; the fund will continue to be overstated by $5,315.94 and negative action will cause a less manageable case count for staff.
