| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
Per Government Code sections 25257-25259, any county department, officer or employee charged by law with the collections of County tax assessments, penalties, fines, or any money due to County, can discharge accountability if the amount is too small to justify the cost of collection, the likelihood of collections does not warrant the expense involved, or the amount has been otherwise lawfully compromised or adjusted.
Board Resolutions 88-26 and 01-50, as well as the County of Yolo Administrative Procedure and Policy on Revenues and Receivables authorize the Auditor-Controller (in their role as Chief Financial Officer) to exercise the powers set forth in Sections 25257-25259 of the Government Code and direct the Auditor-Controller to file an annual summary of such actions taken during the year.
In fiscal year 2018-19, the Chief Financial Officer reviewed and approved five applications for discharges (Departments of Agriculture, Community Services, General Services, Health & Human Services, and Sheriff) totaling $508,328 (Att. A). The Chief Financial Officer and/or assigned Department of Financial Services staff have verified that the criteria stipulated by the Government Code were met before authorizing the discharge. |
| Collaborations (including Board advisory groups and external partner agencies) |
| Applications for discharges were received from the departments of Agriculture, Community Services, General Services, Health & Human Services, and the Sheriff. |
