2.99.010 Write-off.

No department or agency of the county shall write off or hold any debt uncollectible until it has first presented a request to do so to the Clark County council on forms approved by the council, and has received permission to do so from the Clark County council; provided, however, the following shall be exempt from this procedure:

(1)    The county auditor and the director of public health may write off amounts they deem to be not collectible of $50.00 or less per invoice issued from their respective billing and accounts receivable systems.

(2)    All judicially imposed fines, fees, charges, program payments and other costs associated with violations of law, where the obligation cannot be viewed as voluntary and the resulting amounts owed to the county are separate and distinct from the type of debt otherwise incurred by county departments.

(3)    The county manager may write off department or agency debts that are still unpaid after processing through county manager developed procedures. Such procedures developed by the county manager shall be presented to the council for approval by resolution. As used herein, the term “department or agency of the county” shall specifically exclude the Clark County superior and district courts. (Res.
