DILIGENT EFFORTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO RECAPTURE THE FUNDS AND
THE FUNDS ARE NOT COLLECTIBLE OR OTHERWISE REQUIRE
REMOVAL FROM THE FINANCIAL RECORDS OF THE LIBRARY DIVISION.
WHEREAS, pursuant to Resolution 2006-252, the Board of County Commissioners(Board)has
established a procedure to remove past due accounts from active accounts receivable where diligent efforts
at collection have proved unsuccessful; and
WHEREAS, this adjustment is proper and in the best interest of the county because the amounts
were deemed uncollectible after multiple attempts; and
WHEREAS,the Library staff completed diligent efforts to collect these past amounts, including
an initial automated telephone call when the item is about to be due to see if a renewal of the item is desired
then a second automated telephone call occurs the day after the item was due. If the item has not been
returned at this time a mailed letter of notice is sent no later than when the item is 30 days late and the
patron' s library account is locked so that the patron cannot use the account until the item is returned and
amounts paid.A second letter of notice is sent at 60 days late, if the item has not been returned or amounts
paid.A third letter of notice is then sent if not resolved that has a bill for the amount due to the Libraries.
The Library Division has not turned the accounts over to the County' s debt collection agency since the
patron' s account is locked and further usage of the account cannot occur until amounts due are paid. The
Library Division Director has determined that the identified receivables attached to this Executive Summary
are uncollectible and have complied with Board Resolution 2006-252; and
WHEREAS, Collier County Public Library Division diligently attempted, without success, to
collect on past due accounts totaling $152,843.83 for materials not returned and service fees, and
$25,800.30 for overdue fines of materials returned by patrons listed within active accounts receivable
records; and
WHEREAS, all items requested for removal are aged at least five years; and
WHEREAS, the Library Advisory Board is recommending that the Board remove past aged
accounts receivable from active accounts receivable.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF COLLIER COUNTY,FLORIDA,that:
1. The Board finds that the Collier County Public Library Division has made diligent efforts to collect
the total debt amount by researching the balances and reviewing any applicable records for further
information.
2. Despite diligent efforts,the Library Division is not able to collect the debts of materials not returned
and service fees of$152,843.83 or the$25,800.30 in overdue fines that were not paid on materials returned
