4.95.020 Write-off.

The City shall make reasonable attempts to collect all money owing in compliance with City policy and procedure. If such attempts fail and at least 120 days have passed since the original due date, the receivable will be sent to a collection agency. No less than 24 months after the original due date, if the receivable remains uncollected, the City may write off the debt, provided the amount of the receivable is less than $1,000, and both the City Manager or designee and the Finance Director authorize the write-off. Any decisions regarding write-off are discretionary with the City and may consider any variety of factors, including but not limited to resources of the City for purposes of attempting collection and aggregate impact of receivables at the time.
