$8,250.15zare accounts sent to a collection agency for further collection efforts, and$2,582.99 <br /> are written off with no further collection efforts. (Both of these amounts will only appear on this <br /> quarterly report.) <br /> The year to date total for collections is $9,287.89, compared to $4,981.88 in 2013. We submitted <br /> a large amount to collections for a single business that accounts for the large increase in the <br /> collection agency total. The year to date total for write-offs is $2,937.19, compared to $1,520.01 <br /> in 2013. We had three bankruptcies and two deceased situations this quarter. <br /> We collected$5,650.54 through Revenue Recapture. The year to date total is $805.05, compared <br /> to($9,522.99) in 2013 where collections were so much greater than submissions. We have now <br /> filed with the state a net total of$51,904.54 that will remain in the system until it is collected, or <br /> we remove it. We will continue to evaluate the risk of permanent default on the accounts that <br /> have the longest duration in the RR system and determine any amounts necessary for removal. <br /> I have also presented the color-coded recap comparisons with last year, identifying the various <br /> categories and the running totals. When comparing the far right columns for 2014 and 2013,we <br /> had lower delinquent items in 2013 because we collected more through RR than we had <br /> submitted, and that was not recurring this year, as well as some increased activity noted above. <br /> Our budgeted amount for collections and write-offs are $105,000 or.32%Uncollectible <br /> Accounts per Revenue Dollar. Our write-offs for the year are well below this number, at a total <br /> of$12,225.08 or .035%. According to APPA's most recent published standard ratios (2012),the <br /> industry standard is between.10%and .41%. <br /> Per State Statute 13.685 for Utility Billing Data, the attached report is not public information and <br /> has been excluded from the public copy and final copy storage of commission meeting <br /> information, and the names have also been omitted in the packet copy. <br /> ACTION REQUESTED: <br /> Staff recommends that the Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission accept this delinquent <br /> amounts listing for the second quarter of 2014. <br /> P I I I E I I F O O r <br /> NATURE <br /> Reliable Public <br /> Power Provider POWERED To S ER v E <br /> 49 <br />
