Finance Committee highlights RITA delinquent/subpoena program: $447,567 recovered
Summary
Officials reported that the city paid $4,349 for 4,349 subpoenas and recovered $447,567.31 through the RITA delinquent and subpoena program; Finance Director Jenny Esarey recommended participating every other year and the committee removed the topic from future agendas.
The Finance Committee reviewed results of the 2024–2025 RITA delinquent and subpoena program and described it as a strong return on investment.
Chair Paul Marnecheck summarized the return, saying "for every dollar we put in the city received $100." Finance Director Jenny Esarey confirmed the program details: the city paid $1 per subpoena and issued 4,349 subpoenas for a cost of $4,349 and collected $447,567.31. Esarey recommended participating in the program every other year to maintain compliance and collections.
Because the program closed at the end of May, the committee voted to remove the update from future Finance Committee agendas. Motion carried, Yeas 3, Nays 0.
Committee members described the program as an effective compliance tool; no follow-up approvals were required at this meeting.
