TO: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
FROM: Robert McEwan,Acting Executive Director
DATE: March 2, 1999
SUBJECT: COLLECTION LOSS WRITE-OFF FOR THE QUARTER ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1998
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S) &BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
1. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
ADOPT Resolution No.4057 approving collection loss write-off in the amount of$13,048.67 for the quarter ending December
31, 1998 as recommended by the Advisory Housing Commission.
11. 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 uncollectable. For the quarter ending December 31,
1998,a collection loss write-off in the amount of$13,048.67 is recommended.
III. 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-ofd representing an average of$2,609.74 per account, The following chart
illustrates the collection losses per quarter for the past four quarters:
Conventional Program
12/98 $13,048.67
09/98 $12,072.30
06/98 $12,072.30
03/98 $13,192.24
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.4057 these accounts would inflate the total
accounts receivable for the Housing Authority and present a distorted financial picture.
