Board to send certified letters and payment schedules to delinquent accounts including Albino Ortega and Elko Broadcasting
Summary
Staff reported Albino Ortega has been paying about $300 a month and that at current payments the balance will not be paid off; Elko Broadcasting is about $6,900 in arrears. Board directed staff to send certified letters with proposed schedules and to consider collections if payments are not made.
Staff updated the board on two delinquent accounts. For Albino Ortega, staff said he has been making monthly payments of about $300 but that "if he pays the $300 a month, he will never pay it off," and recommended sending a formal schedule that would accelerate paydown or raising the minimum payment. For Elko Broadcasting, staff reported the account is about $6,900 past due; the board agreed to send a certified letter asking the account holder to accept a payment schedule or face collections.
Treasurer Marissa presented sample schedules: increasing monthly payments to $500 would lead to payoff in roughly four years; $750 per month would shorten that to about 1.5 years. The board asked staff to send certified notices with a spreadsheet of options and to report back at the next meeting. Members also discussed referral to a collections agency if recipients fail to respond.
