HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 09132011 - C.53RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Probation Officer, or designee, to execute a
contract with the State of California, Franchise Tax Board (FTB), including modified
indemnification language, for the collection of unpaid, court-ordered fees via tax intercept,
for the period October 1, 2011 through September 30, 2014.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Actual cost to the Probation Department will not exceed 15% of debt collected by the
Franchise Tax Board, approximately $18,000 annually.
BACKGROUND:
The Probation Collections Unit (PCU) collects debt owing for parental responsibility for the
care of youth in Juvenile Hall and Orin Allen Youth Rehabilitation Facility, Juvenile
Electronic Monitoring fees and Adult Public Defender fees. Once the PCU has exhausted
their means of collecting on an account, the outstanding debt is referred to the State of
California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) for collection via tax intercept. Twenty-one percent
of the collections during fiscal year 2010/11 were from the FTB.
