Title
4230 20th Avenue - Bad Debt Write Off of Utility Account (1050798/029174) and Future Continuation of Service
Recommended Action
Staff recommends the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) direct staff to: • Write off the uncollectible account balance for the subject property in the amount of $32,002.16, and further, • Once the account is brought current after the write off, address whether to continue services going forward. Options for consideration include: 1. The County determine which department will be the administrator of the property so that the Indian River County Department of Utility Services (IRCDUS) can continue billing that department the monthly sewer availability charges of $17.73 per month until such time as the land is turned over to a developer; or, 2. Stop the future IRCDUS service availability charges incurred by Indian River County on this account by relinquishing the sewer impact fee related to the subject property. If the impact fee is relinquished, the eventual future developer of the property will be required to pay the current impact fees to re-establish service for the property. IRCDUS recommends the BCC pursue option 2 regarding the continuation of services.
