5.2 ERMUSR 05-08-2018 ,,/ Elk River Municipal Utilities UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING TO: FROM: ERMU Commission Theresa Slominski -Finance & Office Manager MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: May 8, 2018 5.2 SUBJECT: 2018 First Quarter Delinquent Items ACTION REQUESTED: Approve the 2018 First Quarter Delinquent Items Submitted BACKGROUND: First quarter delinquent items are presented for your review. We have previously reported on four different categories of delinquents as follows: • Assessments are delays in collecting the money owed and is assessed to the property taxes in the fall. Please note this number will only be presented in the 4th quarter. • Collections amounts are those we send to the collection agency to try and collect after we have exhausted all our internal collection efforts. We receive 70%of amounts collected after the agency receives their split. • Revenue Recapture (RR) is the program through the state where funds are collected from individuals' tax refunds and remitted to us, with the balance (if any) remitted to the individual. It presents an opportunity to collect funds rather than splitting with a collection agency or having to write them off completely. There is a six year limit for keeping items on RR and if uncollected at this time, amounts are removed and written off. • Write Offs are amounts removed from the books with no further collection efforts being extended. This includes RR items that have met the six year limit and removed from the state program. DISCUSSION: The attached report listing shows those dollars submitted to the collection agency(A), those submitted to both the collection agency and revenue recapture (B), and those submitted to revenue recapture (R). This quarter we only have items submitted to revenue recapture (R) in the listing. I also have for review the color-coded recap comparisons with last year, identifying the categories and the running totals. There are no amounts listed for assessments as the process for assessments culminates in the last quarter from information previously submitted to other collection services and if not collected, removed and assessed. Currently, all services—so even those assessable services of sewer,water, and trash—are submitted with the amounts at RR in the hopes that they will be collected. Items not collected by assessment time are removed from RR and assessed instead. Page 1 of 2 75 Amounts submitted for the quarter to Revenue Recapture (R) are $9,644.99. (Note that assessable items are also included here as mentioned above.) We have seen an increase in items we are attempting to collect with the additional customer base we have acquired. Regarding the RR program, we have collected $11,723.43 from RR in 2018 so far from prior year submissions.Notably, over the seven years we have been with RR,we have collected $179,207.87! This quarter, we have also needed to remove $3,093.97 for accounts meeting the six year maximum to be retained with the state RR program, as noted below with the write-off amounts. This program has been very beneficial for us. The first quarter totals of delinquent items are $9,644.49. To break these totals down by provider, it is $8,012.36 for Electric, $278.49 for Water, $424.26 for Sewer, $313.89 for Trash, $491.20 for Franchise Fees, and $124.79 for Storm Water. The amount for first quarter Write-Offs is $3,383.61, which includes credits due to collections on amounts previously written off of($436.17), and small balances of$4.93,bankruptcies of $546.69, $3,093.97 for amounts removed from RR meeting the six year limit of being with the state program, and $174.19 determined uncollectible. Our budgeted amount for collections and write-offs are $105,000, or.27%uncollectible accounts per revenue dollar. According to APPA's most recent published standard ratios (2015),the industry standard is between .17% and .37%. Interestingly,the Northern/Central Plains average is .09%. Our totals for the year so far are below the national average, at.0083%.
