Shakopee City Council
December 7, 2021


FROM:Nate Reinhardt, Finance Director
TO:Mayor and Council Members
Subject:
Authorization of the Finance Director to write-off certain uncollectible accounts and returned payments.
Policy/Action Requested:

Motion to authorize the Finance Director to write-off uncollectible accounts receivable and returned payments.

Recommendation:
Approval
Discussion:

With the implementation of new recreation software, staff would like to clean-up outstanding balances instead of converting them to the new system.

 

The Finance Director has identified the attached list of accounts as unlikely to be collected.  Names have been removed from the list, but are available upon request.  Transactions relate to membership billings that were unable to process for reasons like non-sufficient funds or closed accounts.  City policy is to charge an additional $30 fee to cover the administrative costs. All reasonable efforts have been made to collect these receivables and returned payments, without success.

 

Budget Impact:
All 133 items will be removed from system.  The items cover the period of May 2014 through August 2021.   Total account write-off (loss) is $9,723.59.
