Home My WebLink AboutFIN 2025-08-25 Item 1A - Resolution - Cancellation of Outstanding General Fund ClaimsCity of Tukwila Thomas McLeod, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM TO: Finance & Governance Committee FROM: Tony Cullerton, Deputy Finance Director BY: Margo Keithly, Fiscal Specialist CC: Mayor McLeod DATE: August 25, 2025 SUBJECT: 2025 Reporting of Unclaimed Property to the Washington State Department of Revenue ISSUE Annual reporting of outstanding and unredeemed accounts payable claims. BACKGROUND Each year by November 3rd the City of Tukwila reports abandoned or unclaimed property that is owed either to individuals or business vendors to the Washington State Department of Revenue Unclaimed Property Section and removes these items from the accounting records. All local governments are required to report unclaimed property except unclaimed restitution. Normal restitution is then reported each year by the County Treasurer to the State Treasurer. Current Finance Department policy dictates that all abandoned or unclaimed property be reported annually to the Washington State Department of Revenue Unclaimed Property Section through the Council approved resolution process. Moving forward, the City will also remit payment to the State. In prior years, the City retained the funds and only provided notice of the property to the State. DISCUSSION For the 2025 unclaimed property report year, reporting of abandoned or unclaimed property totals $2,343.53 comprised of General Fund Accounts Payable Claims checks. To the extent possible, those individuals and businesses with unclaimed accounts payable claims checks have been notified by the City through "good faith" effort of being mailed due diligence letters. These individuals and businesses have either not responded to the due diligence notifications and/or cannot be located to claim their property. RECOMMENDATION The Council is being asked to approve the Resolution declaring the cancellation of unclaimed General Fund accounts payable claims and consider this item on the Consent Agenda at the September 15, 2025 Regular Council Meeting. ATTACHMENTS Draft Resolution 1 DRAFT A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA, WASHINGTON, AUTHORIZING THE CANCELLATION OF OUTSTANDING GENERAL FUND CLAIMS CHECKS. WHEREAS, the State of Washington, Department of Revenue Unclaimed Property Section, for the reporting year 2024, requires a one-year dormancy period for outstanding claims and payroll checks issued from the General Government Fund and a two-year dormancy period for Municipal Court checks; and WHEREAS, the City of Tukwila Finance Department has made all reasonable attempts to resolve the outstanding, unredeemed General Fund claims; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Tukwila wishes to cancel all outstanding, unclaimed General Fund claims checks issued prior to July 1, 2024. NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA, WASHINGTON, HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS: The Tukwila City Council authorizes the cancellation of General Fund checks as detailed on Attachment A, the 2025 Unclaimed Property Summary Detail Report.
