FROM: R. W. Giese, Director of Building InspectionContra

DATE:
@ Co rt
SUBJECT: Relief of Accountability
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I . RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors authorize the,
write-off of delinquent accounts receivable in the amount of
$4,648.07.
II . FINANCIAL IMPACT:
In the previous deposit system operated by the Building Inspect-
ion Department,monies were taken on account and then invoiced.
The total amount of invoiced fees were then transferred to
earned revenue; which in the case of the above resulted in
overstatement of revenues. Consequently, the write-off of the
delinquent accounts will result in current revenues being trans-
ferred back to the trust fund to balance this account.
III.; REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the recommended action will allow 87 delinquent
accounts to be written off and purged from the active file, thus
allowing more time and effort to be expended on collection of
current accounts.
The reason for write-off recommendation can be summarized as
follows:
a) 13 accounts of over $100. 00 ( $3 ,478. 80) . These accounts,
invoices and statements, were mailed on a periodic basis
through April 1986, and were returned "undeliverable" .
Efforts were made to contact the firms or individuals by
telephone, without success. Therefore, it has been
determined that the cost of future collections efforts is
not warranted.
b) 74 accounts have also received invoices and statements
over a periodic basis through April 1986. The invoice and
statement cycle was monthly. In addition to the invoices,
telephone contact efforts wer6"'Also made, without success.
Consequently, it is felt that the cost of future collections
efforts for these accounts is not warranted.

IV. BACKGROUND
These accounts were generated by a deposit system used by the
Building Inspection Department to estimate fees to cover cost of
inspection services. These accounts are a result of fees being
greater than amount deposited. However, since August of 1982,
the deposit system has been abandoned and fees are collected at
time of permit issuance. This system was established to prevent
occurrence of this situation. All of these delinquent accounts are
well over two years old and were established over five years ago,
and for the reasons noted in Section III , it is deemed necessary
at this time to write off these accounts.
