SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)6 BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECON D ACTION
AUTHORIM the discharge from accountability of 5,770 accounts due to the uncollectible nature of
accounts.
FINANCIAL,ROPACT
/Maintaining uncollectible accounts inflates account receivable balances and decreases efficiency on collectible
accounts. No negative financial impact.
REASONS FOR RECC71yflyIEhTDA L It3N
The Office of Revenue Collection has attempted collection action on these accounts as well as assigned
accounts to a third-party collection agency,where allowed by State and Federal lave. It has been determined
that these accounts are uneconomical to continue further collection actions.
Approval of the recommended action will allow 5,770 accounts to be written-off and purged from the files of
active accounts on the collection computer system. This is done to save disk space,increase processing
efficiency and nummize the cost of maintaining accountable accounts. The accounts are an accumulation of
uncollectible accounts where the debtor is deceased,bankrupted,and/or has no assets. There are 5,770
accounts totaling$2,384,670.00. Discharge from accountability does not constitute a release of any person
from liability for payment of any amount.
The write-off is summarized as follows:

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS REQUEST
SUBJECT: DISCHARGE FROM ACCOUNTABILITY,DATED APRIL,2l, 1999
PAGE 2
This request is consistent with Government Code Section 25257 and 25259. Any officer charged with the collection of
any County money may apply to the Board of Supervisors for a discharge from accountability. The cost of
administering additional collection procedures would exceed the amount of anticipated revenue which might reasonably
be recovered.
The Director of the Office of Revenue Collection certifies and:verifies that these facts are accurate and correct.
