Board approves $549.84 in accounts receivable write-offs
Summary
The board approved write-offs of outstanding account balances totaling $549.84 after confirming turn-off fees and that previously charged amounts remain collectible should a customer reconnect service.
The board approved staff-recommended accounts receivable write-offs totaling $549.84.
The Chair moved to approve write-offs after staff clarified that some items are bad debt and that if a customer later requests reconnection the board can collect outstanding amounts. The Chair read the corrected total, noting added turn-off fees and accountant calculations; "I make a motion that we approve the accounts receivable write offs totaling $549.84," the Chair said. The board voted to approve the write-offs by voice vote.
Members confirmed that sewer charges cannot be turned off and are handled differently from water turn-off fees, and staff said they will change the accounting treatment next year to avoid future confusion. The write-off is procedural and does not alter the board's right to collect a balance should the customer reconnect service.
