Summary

The Board approved write-offs for five-year-old delinquent utility accounts after noting the amounts were lower than in some prior years; the motion passed unanimously in the meeting.

Chair noted the board had five-year-old delinquent utility accounts to consider and said the current figures were lower than amounts seen in earlier years. A Committee member moved to approve the write-offs, the Chair seconded, and the board voted in favor.

Board members discussed that some older accounts date back as far as 10 years. "I'll make a motion to approve the write offs," the Committee member said during the vote. The approval removes these long-delinquent balances from the utilities ledger as a bookkeeping action.
