Elk River ~ ~ 1Vlunicipal Utilities 13069 Orono Parkway ~ P.O. Box 430 Elk River, MN 55330-0430 July 7, 2009 To: Elk River Municipal Utilities commission John Dietz Jerry Gumphrey Daryl Thompson From: Theresa Slominski Re: Write-offs Phone: 763.441.2020 Fax: 763.441.8099 Second quarter write-offs are presented for your review. These amounts cover items since the last write-offs, which were through March. Attached is the list of the write-offs, totaling $15,865.41. There are two separate lists presented, and are discussed below. One list (June 2009 Write-Offs) represents amounts that will be written off and some have been sent to our collection service, Advantage Collection Agency, to further pursue. The items sent to the collection agency already are in red. Some items have not been sent yet in the hopes that we will be able to collect something internally and retain the entire amount, versus a portion of the collection split with the agency. Some items we will never be able to collect due to a bankruptcy or a deceased individual and these items are noted. The other list (June 2009 Write-Offs- Assessment) are items that we will be assessing this fall, totaling $2,792.49, if still unpaid. Per discussion with the city's accounting staff, we are transferring these amounts to them as we progress throughout the year to help with preparation of the actual assessment process that will occur in the fall. For reference, the prior quarter (first quarter March 2009) write-off amounts totaled $38,725.32. Staff recommends that the Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission accept this write- off listing for the second quarter of 2009. Thank you.
