TO: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
FROM: Robert McEwan, Executive Director
DATE: October 17, 2000
SUBJECT: COLLECTION LOSS WRITE-OFF FOR THE QUARTER ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2000
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
1. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
ADOPT Resolution No. 5001 approving collection loss write-off in the amount of$6,097.14 for the
quarter ending SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 as recommended by the Advisory Housing Commission.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Uncollectable accounts impact on the budget by reducing total rental income. At the end of each
quarter, the Housing Authority takes action to write off those accounts which have been determined to be
uncoliectable. For the quarter ending SEPTEMBER 30, 2000, a collection loss write-off in the amount of
$6,097.14 is recommended.
Ili. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
This collection loss is for the Conventional Program. The requested collection loss write-off
reflects a total of 5 accounts that are being recommended for write-off, representing an average of
$1,219.43 per account. The following chart illustrates the collection losses per quarter for the past four
quarters:
Conventional Program
06100 $ 6,097.14
03100 $38,450.77
12199 $17,312.16
09199 $34,077.06
Prior to submission of an account for write-off, the staff makes every effort, including referral to a
collection agency, to collect money that is owed the Housing Authority.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Should the Board of Commissioners elect not to adopt Resolution No. 5001 these accounts would
inflate the total accounts receivable for the Housing Authority and present a distorted financial picture.
