DATE RECORD OF COUNCIL ACTION 10/15/12 MTG. DATE ATTACHMENTS 10/15/12 Informational Memorandum dated 9/30/12 Resolution in draft form with Attachment A Minutes from the Finance and Safety Committee meeting of 10/2/12 2 City of Tukwila Jim Haggerton, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Haggerton Finance and Safety Committee FROM: Peggy McCarthy, Finance Director BY: Laurie Anderson, Fiscal Specialist DATE: September 30, 2012 SUBJECT: Cancellation of Accounts Receivable ISSUE Each year a resolution comes before the Council for the cancellation of uncollectible accounts receivable. For 2012, these items include: False Alarms equaling $25.00, Miscellaneous Billings equaling $8,423.64 and NSF checks equaling $329.25 in the total amount of $8,777.89. BACKGROUND The process for tracking accounts receivable is quite thorough. The steps below are followed prior to preparation of the attached write -off resolution. Invoice is sent to recipient by the Finance Department payable in 30 days. If payment is not received within 30 days, a second notice is sent specifying due date, after which, the receivable will be forwarded to the collection agency. The collection agency sends a series of three letters for the original amount due, with the final letter advising that legal action will be taken if payment is not made. If there is no response from debtor to the letter series, the debt is then reported to the national credit bureaus. After the debtor is given a final opportunity to dispute the claim, the collection agency then pursues legal action. This includes attaching checking accounts, garnishments, lawsuits and other legal methods. Note: Effective September 1, 2012 the City has changed collection agencies from Evergreen Professional Recoveries to Armada Corp. This change will bring about a Web- based, more efficient and streamlined collections process saving the City both time and money. Another advantage to using Armada is that the City will receive weekly payments of amounts collected, rather than payment on a monthly basis as in the past. DISCUSSION The proposed amount of the 2012 cancellation of Accounts Receivable is significantly lower than in prior years. This is attributable to two main factors: Our new TMC regarding business licensing allows us to withhold a business license until such time any debt owed by the licensee to the City has been paid. As such, debtors who had not responded to our requests for payment are now paying their debts in order to have their business license issued. There were only two Street Department billing cancellations for 2012 (compared to 8 in 2011). One billing was an unknown hit and run ($3,372.70). The other, ($4470.94), reflects the balance due after a $10,000.00 payment by debtor's insurance company. These two billings together comprise 89% of this year's cancellations. 3 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 FINANCIAL IMPACT The financial impact of cancelling $8,777.89 will be to reduce our accounts receivable balance by this amount in keeping with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for the writing off of bad debt. RECOMMENDATION The Council is being asked to approve the annual resolution authorizing the cancellation of Accounts Receivable and to forward this item to the Consent Agenda of the October 15, 2012 Regular Meeting.

PRESENTATIONS No presentations. II. BUSINESS AGENDA A. Resolution: Annual Cancellation of Accounts Receivable (Past Due and Returned Checks) Staff is seeking Council approval of an annual resolution to cancel (write -off) account receivables deemed uncollectible. This year's annual account receivable write -off totals $8,777.89. Staff reviewed the process by which Accounts Receivable determines items as uncollectible. This year's write -offs are lower than last year's which can be attributed to: less accidents caused by unknown or uninsured motorists, and a change to the Tukwila Municipal Code which withholds business licenses and /or renewals until such debts are paid to the City. The City is also utilizing a different debt collection agency. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO OCTOBER 15 CONSENT AGENDA. B. Resolution: Annual Cancellation of Outstanding Claims and Unredeemed Property At staff request, this item has been moved to the October 16, 2012, Finance Safety Committee meeting. New information has become available that may affect the processing of this annual cancellation. RETURN TO OCTOBER 16 FINANCE SAFETY COMMITTEE MEETING. C. Proposed Facilities Plan Staff is seeking Committee confirmation of the need for a Facilities Plan for the City, as well as input on the proposed Facilities Plan included in the Committee agenda packet. Staff utilized a PowerPoint presentation to provide the Committee with an overview and summary of a proposed Facilities Plan, which outlines options for the replacement and /or retrofit of City buildings. After the presentation, and a brief discussion, the Committee confirmed that there is a need for the City to have a Facilities Plan. Additional comments from the Committee Members are bulleted below: Committee Member Robertson: Believes that a Facilities Plan is the right thing to do; however, it appears to be more logical to wait for the conclusion of the Strategic Plan to ensure the Facilities Plan is supported by the Strategic Plan outcomes. Has some inquiries about prioritization, but relates prioritization back to the conclusion of the Strategic Plan. Committee Member Kruller: Believes there may be some timing concerns in consideration of the current economy. Requested benchmarking to identify what similar and /or surrounding jurisdictions are doing in regard to facilities. irs COUNCIL AGENDA SYNOPSIS Initials Meetin g Date Pre ared by M or s e 'ew Council review 10/08/12 7R Resolution Mtg Date Ordinance Mtg Date 10/15/12 7R Other Mtg Date SPONSOR Council Mayor HR DCD Finance Fire IT P &R Police PW SPONSOR'S The City applied to WSDOT in 2010 for SRTS funding for Cascade View Elementary to (1) SUMMARY formalize an existing pathway used by students, (2) recruit and train volunteers to start Walking School Buses, (3) hold an event and an assembly.

As you walk through the park you will notice locally quarried sandstone benches, the bench backs touch on the history of this site as well as the unique topography beneath your feet!

Sorry, no common names, but note that all three of the tapered spiral fossils on the left are the fun -to -say "Turritella uvasano"mentioned in the bench copy.

It was home to many Italian immigrants who labored at Duwamish Gardens, which included part of what is now the Duwamish Hill Preserve. A couple of typical crops are featured including an heirloom Italian squash likely to have been planted at this time (Costata romanesca). The game of bocce (balls featured here) was a relaxing weekend pastime at the farm, as evidenced by a bocce scoreboard still early 1900s benvenutol welcome!

H abitat: Species typical of the rocky bald habitat are depicted from left to right including: red flowering currant (Ribessanguineum); small camas (Camassia quamash); madrone (Arbutus menziesii); Alaska rein orchid (Piperia unalascensis); II; 2r after the glaciers fragile rare rocky bald habitat camas bulbs drew native people madrones alligator lizards prosper taper -tip onion A lum acuminatum; and northern alligator lizard (Elgaria coerulea). R estoration: Habitat restoration is a slow process with hours of human labor. Wind and wildlife are essential to the process too, pollinating flowers and spreading seeds. On the left is serviceberry (Amelanchier alnifolia), about to be pollinated by a bumblebee (Bombus sp). The berries are food for birds, which give wings to the seeds. The winddispersed seeds floating across the bench back are from cutleaf silverpuffs (Microseris laciniata). A silvery blue butterfly (Glaucopsyche lygdamus) alights on a lupine leaf its larval host. The adults sip nectarfrom a variety of flowers including camas. As the habitat recovers, we hope this 1 butterfly, along with others i early 2000s fdends and neighbors working to restore habitat planting mulching and weeding w ll the silvery blue return?
