Elk River ~" Municipal Utilities 13069 Orono Parkway • P.O. Box 430 Elk River, MN 55330.0430 Phone: 763.441.2020 Fax: 763.441.8099 UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING TO: Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission John Dietz, Chair Jerry Gumphrey, Vice Chair FROM: Theresa Slominski -Finance Director MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: I October 12, 2010 5.2 SUBJECT: Third Quarter Write-offs BACKGROUND: Third quarter write-offs are presented for your review. These amounts cover items since the last write-offs (which were through 6/30/2010) and total $9,100.82. There are $2,209.06 in accounts sent to a collection agency for further collection efforts, and $42.64 that are written off with no further collection efforts. There is also $6,849.12 that will be assessed this fall. DISCUSSION: As noted before, there is a $50 minimum limit for assessment and when amounts fall below that, there is no recourse but collection. Therefore, there are some assessable services that appear in the collection write-off column. Write-offs for the first and second quarters were $80,657.15. With the above mentioned write- offs the year-to-date total would be $89,757.97. ACTION REQUESTED: Staff recommends that the Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission accept this write-off listing for the third quarter of 2010.
