body
INFORMATION CONTACT:
Caleb Sinclair, Solid Waste, Director, 704-283-3576
ACTION REQUESTED:
Approve the write-off of uncollectible Solid Waste accounts as needed.
PRIOR BOARD ACTIONS:
None.
BACKGROUND:
N.C.G.S 25-2-725(1) and 1-52(1) place a statute of limitations on how far back delinquent water, sewer, and solid waste account balances can be collected. Solid Waste accounts can be collected up to 3 years past their final bill date. Any outstanding account balances past those dates are considered to be write-offs defined as the elimination of uncollectible accounts receivable recorded on the general ledger.
The included attachment lists the accounts being “written off” for FY2023. A total of $151.48.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There will be a reduction in the accounts receivable balances for Union County Solid Waste of $151.48. This will also be shown as a corresponding expense to the enterprise fund uncollectable accounts.
