MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER:
December 14, 2010 5.5
SUBJECT:
Miscellaneous Write-offs
BACKGROUND:
Write-offs for miscellaneous invoices from Miscellaneous Accounts Receivable are presented for
your review. They total $10,773.34 and are separate from the Utility Billing write-offs reviewed
quarterly.
DISCUSSION:
Typically, on a quarterly basis write-offs are presented to the commission for review. However,
invoices from Miscellaneous Accounts Receivable have not been presented this year and we
would like to process these in December 2010, rather than waiting until January 2011 when the
other quarterly write-offs will be presented. The attached amounts cover items from 2007
through 2009 that we are unable to collect on. These items are not associated with a utility
account, but are separate invoices related to various activities that are identified in the comments
area. Invoices 017181 and 017348 originate from auto accidents causing damage to our system
where there was no insurance to bill and so the individuals were billed.
Write-offs for the first, second, and third quarters were $89,757.97. We have received funds
from our collection agency's efforts which bring the total down to $68,664.29. With the above
mentioned write-offs, the year-to-date total would be $79,437.63, which is less than 1 % (.307%)
of estimated sales. The budgeted write-off amount was for $95,000. (These numbers include
both water and electric amounts.)
ACTION REQUESTED:
Staff recommends that the Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission accept this write-off listing
for the miscellaneous invoices to process in 2010.
